[blparent] Car seat recommendation

[Wendy Meuse]

Oh man do I ever cringe when I think of the car seats we used to have forty years ago.  You didn't even need to have them by law 
here.  I remember going places and just holding my daughter on my knee.  Crazy or what?  If I had it to do over again, things would 
be oh so different.  As for the baby sitting thing, Selby I hope you will give that a miss.  It just sounds like trouble to me.  I 
had that happen once and did i ever get ripped off.  It worked out ok for about three weeks, and tghen one day the mom brought her 
four month old baby for me to watch and that was the last I saw of her.  She didn't bring enough clothes, food, formula, nothing.  I 
had to go and spend about one hundred and twenty dollars for everything cause I didn't have a thing.  She brought little DDebby to 
me with two diapers and a half of a bottle of formula.  I waited until about five that afternoon and called child protective 
services.  Her boyfriend told me that she had packed her things and just disappeared.  The child was not his so he didn't want to 
come pick her up.  I felt so sad for that poor baby.  I had not had the baby for a couple of weeks, and that day she had cradle cap, 
terrible diaper rash and she was just filthy.  I don't think some people should be allowed to have children.  My daughter was four 
at the time and whenn she saw me getting little Debbie ready to bathe she started to cry.  she said, mamma, the baby looks so sore. 
ooo I was so mad.  Cchildren are so precious.  I don't know how people can treat them that way.

Look at carseats and try them out. You can learn how
to install and deinstall a carseat. Get one that works for you.

At Walmart they have the Costco car seat for $46. It were your faces up to
40 pounds and 40 inches. They also have the safety first guide 65 for $79.
Honestly I would pick that one, it's comfortable, rear faces up to 40
pounds/40 inches and forward faces up to 65 pounds. It should last your
child until four or five years old and then you can buy something else then.
The car seats that say they go up to 100 pounds aren't always the best. They
generally don't work very well in booster mode.

about 16 pounds. My car seat is rare facing and goes up to 20 pounds. What
recommendations do you have for the next car seat? They have car seats that
go from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. This would be nice. However, the car seat we
looked at was the kind you install in the car and don't move it out of the
car. I am looking for a car seat that can go easily from one car to another.
Thanks for the help! I look forward to people's responses.
