Thanks for the recommendations about car seats. My current car seat can be
quickly put into a car and secured by a seatbelt. Do any of the car seats
for older babies meaning 20 pounds and up work that way? Thanks for the
advice!

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.
