My first child outgrew that around 7 or 8 months. Now we just have convertible car seats which last all the way from infant up to when they are ready for a booster seat -- my 4yo still uses her convertible car seat. It just saves you buying a special car seat for an infant.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-45669092936526711972013-12-19T15:18:40.017-08:002013-12-19T15:18:40.017-08:00Hi, I like this post.

That said, you seem to imply that if you have a baby carrier you don't need a car seat. How does that work? Are you saying that when you drive you just strap the baby onto your body and that's good enough? Could you clarify?<br /><br />Thanks, RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597294341376449774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-39015979178661758762013-01-22T09:40:04.084-08:002013-01-22T09:40:04.084-08:00Here is an article I wrote on this topic:

I put so many things on the registry that I ended up never needing - some I never even opened. Toys is a big one. We still have this problem where we have so many toys (most from friends and family that have no idea what to get, so they just try their best and it ends up being something to trip over)Mikki Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-80550571231200373412012-03-11T08:39:32.751-07:002012-03-11T08:39:32.751-07:00Great list!Great list!I Thought I Knew Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455472180040349212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-30359407042219874182012-03-07T17:38:17.939-08:002012-03-07T17:38:17.939-08:00I know.

It was lovely using them with my 2nd baby, instead of carrying her around all the time in my arms as I did with my first. So many great options for carriers these days!Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-51762959852277130452012-03-07T14:38:33.102-08:002012-03-07T14:38:33.102-08:00Cloth Diapers are AMAZING!!!

They really need very little-just our love and milk. We are the ones that need "things".
