[blparent] car seats and strollers recommendations

[Wendy Meuse]

Hi Tara:

My baby days are long over as my daughter is 38 and has two sons of her own.  I also found though that the backpacks or slings 
worked well.  I am just racking my brain trying to think of the name of the backpack that my daughter used and also let me use when 
I was baby sitting the grand kids.  ooo it is anoying when something is right on the tip of your tongue and you can't think of it. 
Oh well.  Probably at two in the morning when I can't sleep it will come to me.  ehehehehehe!  I have heard many mom's say that they 
liked the baby wraps too.  I think I have an article that a lady wrote who was on another parenting list about wearing your baby.  I 
will write to her and ask her for permission to put it on here.  It was very well written and easy to understand.

I'm 26 and I have 3 kids. I've found that most infant car seats work well in the car. You might want to consider carrying your baby 
in a sling of some sort. There are a lot to choose from. You can order them from websites where they'll ask you for your height and 
weight. Or you can purchase them from target or walmart where they are not specially made but work well. The slings are good to have 
when going to the store for esentuals. You don't have to worry about pushing the baby in a stroller or the infant seat taking up 
most of the shopping space in the cart. Read about car seat safety and read all of the instructions on everything that you buy.
