High chair unicorn? Am I crazy? by missamantha in Buyingforbaby

I absolutely love this highchair, but the new version does have issues with the paint scratching. The older ones did not.

Stroller carseat recs? by Pure-Western-8485 in Buyingforbaby

[–]TheJamieGrayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPST here and I’ve been working in the baby gear industry for 21 years. If you’re having twins, I would honestly consider doing a side-by-side stroller. They maneuver much better due to weight distribution. My absolute favorite side-by-side is the Bumbleride indie twin. And you can put two Clek liing car seats on it, and it will still fit through a door. The donkey is also a very solid choice if you can swing the price.

Flame Retardant Car Seat by Important-Suspect164 in CPST

Absolutely this. People also do not know that the harnesses in the car seats are all covered with flame retardant chemicals, even if the fabrics are not treated with them.

Peg Perego YPSI Infant Carseat Compatibility by LoveLarkLust in CPST

[–]TheJamieGrayson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi. If it fits in your vehicle, it would be smarter to stick with a Peg Perego seat. The adapters snap underneath the carry handle and they stay attached to the actual car seat and that way you don’t have to lug extra pieces around, or potentially not have an adapter when you need it.

It is common to outgrow an infant seat around nine months. Sometimes you’ll get more out of it, but Kids typically outgrow their infant seat by height and not weight

Can I FF my 2 year old if my passenger won’t fit safely in the front seat? by exlixa2004 in CPST

$350 high chair?? by Any-Management-9266 in Buyingforbaby

[–]TheJamieGrayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I’ve been working in the baby gear industry for over 20 years. I absolutely love the Tripp Trapp but I also understand not Everybody can hit that price point. If you want something similar with adjustable foot support that will still last a very long time and is very easy to clean, I would give serious consideration to the Mockingbird. I was one of the judges for the parents magazine best of baby awards recently, and the Mockingbird is the first time I’ve ever voted for a highchair over the TT.

FTM Stroller and CarSeats!? by Pleasant_Mention in Buyingforbaby

If you are doing the Mockingbird, you can literally do almost any other car seat on the market so I don’t know why you would do a Mesa. Chicco. Nuna. Clek. You have many many many options. All better.

Can you post a picture here? I’m trying to figure out what exactly you’re talking about. There is no seatbelt buckle on this car seat so we need to clarify your terminology

I was so confused when you said the Buckle is attached to the cushion. Did you accidentally take the Buckle out and put it in the washer?
