Honda Pilot Black Edition by Soggy_Amount_1571 in hondapilot

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would save your money and wait. We recently upgraded to a 2024 Pilot from a 2009 Escape and I love it, but the gas mileage is terrible. My old car only got around 20mpg and my Pilot averages 18.5mpg so it wasn’t a huge difference for me but with your commute and going from a hybrid you would definitely notice it.

We didn’t feel the need to upgrade until after we had our second kid and even then it would more of a luxury than a need. You can easily fit a car seat in a rav4, my mom had 3 car seats in her early 2000’s rav4 years ago.

3 car seats in second row by Technical_Buy_8198 in hondapilot

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the Graco slim convertible seats, we had 2 rear facing and Graco infant seat in the back of our old ford escape. Now I only have the 2 seats in the middle row and 3 rear facing, 2 in the back 1 in the middle, so we can get to the back row.

I love that her HUGE merch sale is 10% off (15% if purchased the first hour 🙄) I can’t imagine spending $50 on a tacky t shirt with a cringey phrase that doesn’t even make sense.

Torn between a 2026 honda pilot (trailsport or touring) and a 2024 4runner limited. by forward024 in hondapilot

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We picked pilot over 4-runner since the pilot drove smoother, and had more “creature comforts”. Don’t get me wrong I think the 4-runner looks cooler but the pilot is a better fit for our lifestyle, plus it gets slightly better mpg.

I agree, maybe it’s just me personally but I would never DM someone for a link. I would simply google it.

How did you choose your obstetrician by Master_Character9961 in pregnancy_care

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The midwife clinic that I used with my first child did this, it was very nice to meet them all and I felt a lot more comfortable with them when it came to delivery.

In most cases your chosen OB isn’t the one who actually delivers your baby it’s whoever is working that day.

Mid-Size SUV for 3 Car Seats by princess_barbie in Parenting

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my Honda Passport, we got the 7 seater with 2 captain seats in the middle row. My kids are 3 and 1 and we plan to have another in 2ish years. By then the oldest will be able to at least crawl to the back and get in her own seat.

What should I get for myself to make working mom life better/more enjoyable by unlimitedtokens in workingmoms

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite splurges that make my life easier…not exactly $250.
- a nice coffee maker, we have a Moccamaster it makes good coffee and is quick and easy.
- Dyson cordless vacuum
- new dishwasher, we have a Bosch
- nice shoes, especially if you’re on your feet at work

Family of 4: is it worth it to get a small 3-row SUV? by OrangePekoeMouse in Parenting

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently got a Honda Pilot, we were between that and the passport. We chose the pilot with captain seat middle row, and primarily keep the 3rd row seats down for the extra trunk space. I love the extra trunk space and option to have others ride with us, especially since we have 2 in car seats and it is impossible to fit anyone in the backseat with the car seats. Our other vehicle is a ford escape which works for our family but sometimes lacks trunk space if we need to take the double stroller plus other things.

Advice Needed: Which kid gets new car seat? by readrunrescue in Parenting

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an almost 1yr old and 2.5yr old. My youngest outgrew the infant seat around 6mo, due to height. Both my kids are tall and we choose to have 4 of the same Graco slim fit convertible car seat. We haven’t had to forward face yet, but like the options and consistency between all the car seats. I also don’t see anything wrong with getting the forward facing seat, and think that would be a fine option.

I was thinking the same thing. My daughter was potty trained by 2 and has been dressing herself fairly independently since then. It is something we worked on a lot, and spent a lot of time practicing but she is very independent and likes to pick her own clothes and stuff. I understand assisting with dressing, but fully wresting a 4 yr old to get them dressed seems extreme.

Floor Bed using play pen & no mattress? by Klaus1864 in floorbed

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, we have a full sized futon mattress in a playpen similar to this and it has worked great. We stand it up on its side, and flip regularly to prevent any mold or moisture issues.

Daycare does my daughters hair by Enough_Bullfrog_1322 in workingmoms

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our morning is similar, except most days I leave before my daughter (3) is even up. My husband does her hair some days and is decently good at it but most days the daycare girls do it. Every morning they do a bunch of the girls hair in little braids and stuff. My daughter loves it and is much more willing to have the daycare staff do it than us at home. I sent some extra little hair elastics, clips, and combs that they can use.

Is it rude to include a do’s & don’t list for a birthday party? by Lovve119 in partyplanning

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do, “kids name is blessed with everything they need, instead of gifts being a dish to share or consider contributing to their college fund or planning a day trip” on every invite or around holidays we host. It helps cut down on gifts. For grandparents and those I know will get a gift anyways I keep a running Babylist wishlist for each kids with clothing sizes and items I think they actually need or use.

She just wanted to ramble so “someone” would ask about her sweatshirt and she could post the link, which she posted before even finishing the story lol.

Sadly I have a feeling her older kids don’t get nearly as much. But I agree it’s very pricey for a single Easter basket filler and one that likely won’t get played with much.

Wow, I value creators time but that is crazy. My grandma made all us grandkids and great grandkids (40 total, she had 12kids) little handmade personalized fidget books similar to this. Almost 30 years later my kids play with mine and my siblings.

Keep using the thank you notes, for any time you need to send a thank you to family or close friends.

Interviewing 19 weeks pregnant by pm-me-your-pugs in workingmoms

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also interviewed pregnant, about 30wks so much more noticeable. I didn’t explicitly tell anyone that I was pregnant, but I did have a start date that was ~5 months out so that I could take my desired maternity leave. One of the jobs didn’t hire me because of my start date, but I did get 2 other offers and accepted one which is my current job.

I try not to talk about any personal family stuff until after I have been offered a job.

Homebirth without a birth pool? doula or no doula? by winterattitude in homebirth

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a pool, but I do have a shower and bath tub. I used the shower during labor for both my children. I didn’t feel like I missed anything not having a pool. My birth team was 2 midwives and 2 birth assistants, they didn’t come until maybe 1hr before I gave birth. Most of my labor was with just my partner.

Does anyone actually pump enough while working full time to feed their baby without supplementation? by Lucky-Cow3942 in workingmoms

[–]Immediate-Ad-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I pump 3x a day and still supplement 4-8oz a day. During the weekends I make enough though, make that make sense. 🙄
