Better MFD?

That's our prob too CSH but the other way around, he's really long in the legs, so everything is looking half mast on him already, even some of the 0-3 stuff

Glam, they are horrible right? I call it the Tragic. Though, mine is black, with alloys and lexus lights and blacked out windows, so when in a good mood, I call it my pimp mobile, Huggy Bear

Is the britax seat good? Does it recline in both forward and rearward positions? (thinking its the one I'll get so will just bombard you with questions)

:rotfl:It did look like a mini bus! Was silver & no blacked out windows as it was a taxi.

Yeah its good - not much of a gap between the side of the seat & the top of the door when putting J in. I hit his head getting him in & out 9 times out of 10.
Its rear facing now but I think it can recline when forward facing.
Would you like pics in action?

ETA - you have to loosen & tighten the straps each time as well cos they have to be a certain tightness but thats too tight for getting on & off. I wouldnt recommend from young age cos its a faff when they are asleep & you cant carry them inside - but then I've never left J to sleep in his car seat for long anyway!

Tesco sleepsuits have really long legs, in fact to get them to fit K in the body I could've tied a knot in the empty leg bit lol

Lucky the summer is coming and you can put him in short rompers and short dungarees and stuff so he doesn't look like his cats are dead

:T:T

Yay!!


Benjamin grew out of all his clothes really quickly, he was a bigger baby too (he still is long in the body). You just need to start thinking 'these will be in really good condition for baby boy #2'


We are just outgrowing 12-18m sleepsuits _pale_

Just been reading up about car seat and definitely backwards facing for as long as possible. Just imagine the whiplash injuries they can have in forward facing seats :eek: In Scandinavia (I think) they have backwards facing until 4 years old.

Link incase anyone is interested http://www.rearfacing.co.uk/facts.php

We got one for Alice and she's still in it now. There's a couple of photos of her in it when we bought it about two thirds of the way through this blog post and she's still got more leg room than I have. People often seem to think you need a big car but we've managed with a three door Micra.

Hi Susan, that you back from the IL's? Did Alice remember to pack Tigger for the return trip??

Christopher is just lying on the couch drooling under his quilt now. He looks grey. Not been sick yet, but the basin is there...

I was back a week and a half ago. I did think I had posted since then but have been quite busy so maybe I didn't? Tigger was driving so we didn't forget him. But now he's Peter Fogg. (And I'm Ted Glen and Alice is Postman Pat.)

Don't you have to do that on all carseats? We always have on all three of ours.
