How does Benjamin not get out of that carseat MFD? I see there are no straps.

Tara - Are you getting a new car seat for Maddy? Is this her just changing from Stage 0 to a Stage 1 seat, or are you just getting a different one? We swithered over the Infinity Pro for ages, but I ordered a Britax Duo Plus last night. Holly is still in Stage 0 at the moment.

She needs a stage one for DH's new car. The one MFD has looks really easy to use and comes out the best in the Which report!

I know, I have a Which subscription and asked MFD about it before. The Britax Duo (Isofix) is still a best buy though and has a good safety rating so happy with my choice. I am intrigued by the Infinity Pro and MFD rates it highly, but we just weren't convinced that it wasn't too bulky for H to play with her toys and things. It just seemed a bit restrictive, although I can see how the design reduces the likelihood of whiplash in the event of a crash.

May still consider it for DHs car though in the future, so would love to hear your feedback on it once you have tried it.

I was a little put off the Britax purely on price. I wonder what the dimensions of the Kiddy one are, off to look.

However, on better news of the day, we have our first tooth :j

:j:jYay for toothy babies! Glad the fairies made it too!

My lounge carpet is so skanky that we have today bought a rug to go over it! I'm too tight to replace it while H is so young, but scrubbing just isn't getting it very clean.

Just making a baked bean/vegetable/cheese type dish for Henraa's tea. I hope it's nice as it's a bit of a bung everything in and hope. I'm also making veggie lasagne tonight so he can have that tomorrow night.

tarajayne

Rug's a better idea, you can't replace before potty training.

We had MIL last 2 nights, she's just gone home so as usual we are mid row!!!!!

Fitzio

Well done Kai!
And yay for first tooth David! Sorry, I forgot to comment on that earlier - thanks for the reminder GISI!

Holly is staying overnight with MIL tomorrow night. I am currently cooking some food for her as my stock of Holly's food is depleted at the moment. I think I am overthinking the whole "no salt" thing though and making life harder than it needs to be. I am making her AK recipes which is fine, but sometimes it would be good for her to eat what we are having. Some things aren't suitable like stir frys, but other things should be. But if there is the hint of salt in something shop bought, I get confused! I haven't given her any gammon type meat, as I think that's processed foods and I shouldn't feed her it. Think I need to relax it a bit. To be fair, the amount she eats it so small, it probably wouldn't matter. Musing out loud as usual.

ETA - Holly just this second started cruising!!
