    good news on the car! we have the inregrated seats and theya re fine for older kids but not younger ones! i find Erin gets very slouched and is not very supported in it whereas Charlie and Abi are fine.

    MFD there should be a pull under the seat part which moves the seat into booster position, then the back part of the seat should flap doen with the harness enclosed (or it does in mine lol!)

    ETA LIKE THIS!

  • Tara - it is his own company and there have been times when he couldn't afford to pay himself! With 8 employees to pay they have first dibs (sometimes on my wages too LOL!) At least he gets something out of it.
    Mfd, do they not fold down like the arm rest does? A friend of mine had a volvo with a baby seat instead of an arm rest but it just popped into the seat when it wasn't being used...

    I dunno - I can't say I have looked too hard because they are more like booster seats which with a 10yo and a 1yo we don't need!

    Must try harder :o


    Edit - sounds interesting Caz - will deffo have a look!

    evening all :wave:

    how is everyone????

    yay on the new car for OH Glam. my hubby would love a new car.

    haven't look too far back but did see posts about when to have breakfast/lunch/dinner when weaning. this is where we have struggled a bit. LO isn't much of an eater in the morning (even still after cutting 95% of her milk she was having during the night). she seems to eat better if it is later.

    as for lunch/dinner............she is a real grazer/picker. i had her today and all she did was pick. she loves any type of small crackers. oh, and she hates being in the highchair so never eats there. i know HV go on at me about it, but my argument was do i have her scream and cry and not eat anything, or let her sit somewhere else out of the highchair and actually eat? i know it might not be the best thing to do, but at least she eats.

    MFD - if i didn't know better i would say LO isn't mine. she LOVES milk and cheese. wrong wrong wrong. okay, i'll have cheese in a sandwich or on nachos, but that's where it stops. she just loves being given cheese chunks and keeps coming back for more. too much like her dad on that one

    I will use the seats for Ben not Maddy, she's too little. Anyway, off to bed. Don't mean to rub it in, sorry if it came across like that. Just good news for once. Got another full day tomorrow and I need to find something to put in my shoes for the wedding as my feet do not stay in them, they slip out a at the back and I slide down them slightly, but the next size down was much too small.

    Hope everyone has a good day. XXX
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    didnt take it like that am pleased for you! just making sure you were aware of the seats! as when i bought the car i thought i could put Erin in it! luckily the way our car is the seats tilt but i dont think they are safe for littlies lol! saying that Charlie isnt allowed in them either unless in the back as he opens the window lol!

    so if theres a saving in fuel does that mean more money for you to spend :D

    Tara, don't go yet! I found these for you. Are they the right sort of thing?
