Elijah needs a new carseat. I can't believe his has lasted this long. Dh thinks he can use an old one that his mom has laying around but I'm gonna tell her to please send it to goodwill before he has a chance to ask! It's seriously gross. I think it's over 10yrs. old. I'm NOT putting my ds in it. So..can someone recommend a good *adorable* car seat?

adorable or affordable?

We have a Britax Decathlon and we love it...it reclines or stay upright we keep it upright because we have a tiny little car. we got it new from eBay for $199.

now an adorable one could be almost any kind of one with a bunch of trapper keeper/Lisa Frank stickers all over it.

Oh and our car seat goes up to 65 pounds so it is an investment!

We have an Evenflo Triumph 5 and love it - I love the buckle mechanism with a crank, as opposed to the ones you pull the strap to tighten.

I think we paid 109 for it. It's a wide seat; we have it and a harnessed booster for DS in the back of a Honda Accord, but they're on the sides, there's no room for one of them to be in the middle. It goes up to 30 pounds rear facing, and 40 pounds forward facing.

It's funny, without talking to any of my friends IRL, 4 of them have also purchased the same seat and love it, too. Was a hoot every time we'd see each other's cars for the first time and say, 'hey, we have the same seat!'

Most people I know have the Evenflo. We love it, and I am looking to get another for William.

Actually, in Consumer Reports test on convertible carseats, both the Britaz Roundabaout and the Evenflo Triumph 5 scored an 81.

Evenflo scored "Excellent" in the three safety issues, while Britax scored "Very Good" in the safety department. Britax outscored on the ease of use areas...personally, I would go with safety over ease.

That's funny to me, because I hate the pull strap kind of tightener, I can never get them to get snug. I don't find them easy at all, and if it's not snug, it's not safe. The Evenflo's ratcheting crank? LOVE IT.

hi everyone, just wanted to say hi. DS is growing so fast. I can't believe he is alomost 8 months old!!! He is starting to crawl and loves to laugh and explore. We are enjoying our little man! I hope everyone one is well and all of those adorable June babes are thriving!

I think the Evenflo is pretty simple. To clarify though, the Evenflo scored a Very Good on ease, as opposed to an excellent. My husband would never go for a Britax anyway, especially when one much more reasonble priced ranks better for safety.

Hi, everybody!
(hi, dr. nick!)

I am not able to catch up today, so hope everything is going well. Somebody is still making teeth. She thwarted me at Trader Joe's today. Now she's momentarily amused with her taggie ball and a pot. My imaginary husband just informed me he's getting the late train. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Katie's been burping on her own for ages. DH will burp her when he's home, but that's because it's "Daddy's time" after she eats. I just set her down and she burps on her own.

From what I've read, that's only a factor when applied topically. So yea, your lotion may cause a problem, but it doesn't sound like smelling it would. And the articles I've seen say that the boobs go away when you stop using the product.

Hooray! I hope that means you get some sleep.
