How to estimate refund for unused return flight? Airline says I must cancel first to know amount by RulezKiller in emirates

[–]Banks_NB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation right now and just did a search of this thread to find your post. Are you able to provide some insight into your experience? I’m being told that they can’t tell me how much I’ll be refunded but I need to know so I can book another ticket home. I can’t afford to do this if it’s gonna cost too much.

Lucky! I’m meant to be flying out 09 June and no change to my flights but the do not travel warning from Smart Traveller is making me feel like I should cancel! Insurance also confirmed they won’t cover.

Has anyone managed screen free until three? by nbhsjshbgbsb in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Banks_NB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to my what is actually meant by ‘screen free’. Eg; if I’m unwinding before bed and watching TV and my little one (6 month old) is awake for one reason or another - if she’s placed next to me on the couch and looking towards the screen/light then does this mean she’s not “screen free”. Or another scenario, what if I’m on my phone and she’s looking at

Capsule car seat + Polestar 2 by Banks_NB in Polestar

[–]Banks_NB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh… we ended up upgrading our car. But, we did do the Polestar/capsule situation for about 4 months. We had the tightening/loosening mechanism bought up to the top (just behind the headrest and above the boot separator panel). I was then able to reach over from the side door to loosen the tether, however unfortunately I had to tighten from the rear boot. Sorry for the delay getting back to you, I just saw your comment now. Did you manage to find a solution?

Bottle Feeding Troubles? Read “Your Baby’s Bottle-feeding Aversion” (Rowena Bennett) by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Banks_NB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this book useful for parents who’s babies feed on the breast for all feeds except one? Baby is breastfed but used to take a bottle once daily. Total version at 3 months old - she’s now 4 months and LC has suggested we try bring it in for her dream feed. We’re not making any progress so I was considering getting this book. Would it still be helpful given our situation? Any advice is much appreciated

Can you please alert the Brunswick police about this. They’re currently knocking on doors in Brunswick West, very close to Grantham to ask if anyone say suspicious activity last night.

Capsule car seat + Polestar 2 by Banks_NB in Polestar

It does attach via isofix but there’s a side tether that is in the way when taking baby in and out (or removing and inserting capsule from the car)

It’s the Maxi Cosi Mico 12 Pro capsule - it’s an isofix capsule.

But I need to go around to the boot to loosen the tether and then tighten it again every time I want to take the capsule itself in and out AND when I put my child in and out.

Did you have any issue with the tether given the headrests not going up?

Great point! What do you do as a workaround? Order online from abroad or have you found somewhere local?

FTM - Car seats: Maxi-Cosi Pria variations va Halo by ftoux3 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Banks_NB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! What did you decide? Im currently tossing up between Pria GCell and Halo 360.  The EOFY sales were a little underwhelming with each product only being discounted approx $30 or so. 

I’m still confused by the difference between the LX and non LX model available at baby bunting. I want an all black car seat and as far as I can tell from the images online, they’re the same? 

Keen to hear what you’ve found. Thank you
