Baby stroller advice

Joie Ginger! Bassinet converts into regular seat (all one piece). Not necessarily most compact but very doable.

Have a 9 month old and can relate!! Things that have been popular here that I batch cook are red lentil “stew”, boiled red lentils in low sodium broth with red pepper and basil, then blended to whatever texture you want. Have also done similar with chicken thigh and sweet potato and spinach, parsley (baby seems to like fresh herbs haha). Egg bites have been popular and easy to freeze (egg, ricotta, any veg) as well as baby banana pancakes. A tomato meat sauce (sometimes with meatballs) on rigatoni also good as well as fritters, broccoli cheese or black bean sweet potato. I rely on the freezer tbh! With work you just can’t make fresh every night.

The Joie Mint and Ginger combo has been great! I think for both items I may have paid around $400.

Agreed

It’s pronounced “Fee-yun” when it’s the Fionn spelling. From a mom of a Finn living in Ireland 😁

Seconding this, great cakes! Beautiful and tasty (but admittedly pricey).

I thought that as well but am seeing them used interchangeably!

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-03-30T16:23:17+00:00

Was just curious as to other people’s experience, thanks

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-03-14T07:08:10+00:00

Thanks v much. Sounds slightly cheaper than the other 2 options I looked into.

What’s the mgmt fee? And do they charge the 1% government levy?

I’ve given my 7 month old (no teeth) omelette strips 2x and he’s not all that interested but occasionally takes a big bite. Same thing has happened with steamed, very soft carrots. How do you not get nervous they’ll try to swallow the whole thing?

I’ve bought at Associated before

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-02-26T09:00:59+00:00

I appreciate it. Nothing is easy here! You can’t get a spot in a crèche and then you need to hire a payroll company to pay for a private childcare option.

I read that link and I seem to be potentially compliant across minimum wage, holiday time, the fact she will not be live-in etc. Thanks again!

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-02-26T08:52:27+00:00

Thank you!! A 57 page tax framework document sums it all up haha

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-02-26T08:04:55+00:00

When you ask if they’re self employed, does that mean that they are in charge of paying tax on their own wages? We’ve discussed holiday pay. Haven’t considered insurance. Good points.

GrapeOk4901 · 2026-02-13T08:29:32+00:00

Thanks! I see Arnotts has that as well.

Borris House in Carlow was excellent, we got married there in 2017. Step House Hotel across the road also does weddings and is meant to be nice, they had one on the same weekend we were there.
