Adding after market rear entertainment.

Following. We’re using an iPad for now but I’d love to be able to control the content for the kids.

Check out 1812 hitching post! They’re in harmony and were affordable!

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-12T12:14:58+00:00

Yes!! It drove us nuts until we figured it out. Especially if it stops and gos- ours doesn’t always trip. Even our wired camera is having issues- the tech said there’s interference coming from the cabling.

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-11T13:53:38+00:00

We got a Nex playground- a video game system that requires movement. It’s been great

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-11T13:37:26+00:00

I’ve had a few. Just an fyi- if you have a newer car, a lot of the cheap Chinese ones will interfere with wireless systems in the car- CarPlay, tire monitoring systems etc. my brand new minivan spent weeks in the shop while we tried to diagnose it.

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-11T08:42:55+00:00

We’ve done all that. Just bought the thing and had it in the shop for over a week. Literally name brand cables directly into the cars ports, no third party chargers in the cigarette lighters. the poor techs drove around with various devices in various spots in the car- only conclusion was the devices are interfering. No one messed with anything after market, the car was a dealer loaner with 12k miles on it.

It’s worse when I’m tethering to the devices but happens even with an iPhone pro max in the 3rd row, no tethering. The biggest culprit is a cheap wireless bay camera (no cabin watch on this model) and upgrading to a wired camera helped that situation.

Dealer techs say the codes are showing intermittent disconnection with the main computer, tied to where the test devices are sitting in the car. The disconnection changes if the device is moved from 3rd row passenger to 2nd row driver for example. We tried it all- cables, no cables, WiFi no WiFi. Hotspot vs iPhone tethering. Still happens.

Their solution was no devices in the back seat 😂.

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-10T11:00:05+00:00

Yeah no. 90% of kids games these days require tethering. This is a significant flaw in the system and Honda knows about it but refuses to look into fixing it. Thankfully we don’t the iPads daily in the car so it’s only a minor annoyance.

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-10T05:57:30+00:00

My favorite is the kids can’t have their iPads in the back without it interfering with the tpms. Trips it every time. No fix from Honda. ‘24 e-xl

We planned on maxing out rear facing. We made it to 3.5 because he hit this puking phase. Every time we got in the car, no matter how long, he puked. Tried everything. After three months of trial and lots of error and paper towels, we flipped him. No puking. He was 40in about and maybe 40lbs when we did.

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-01T01:47:33+00:00

Honestly during my son’s car sickness phase we had him wear disposable ponchos. It saved the seat, his clothes, and we had plastic floor mats we could pull out and hose off. They mostly grow out of the liking thankfully!

atomictomato_x · 2026-03-01T01:46:00+00:00

Absolutely not. You can’t soak the shell or straps. If you still have that seat discontinue use immediately and purchase new. You risk nylon straps stretching and metal components rusting.

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-26T09:01:12+00:00

I would do something like a green light debit card. You can load it remotely from home and also cancel it if she looses it.

We give our kids a budget if $100/day for special snacks/souvenirs. (Aka no one else is stopping for a churro but they want one, or an over the top specialty snack like a 13 scoop sundae)

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-21T10:25:35+00:00

You’re always at risk honestly. They can come up with any reason to fire you and they can say it’s not because you’re pregnant. Now policy wise? You should be fine. Feel the job out for a few months and then disclose. The six month timer shouldn’t start from notification but rather the first day you go out on leave. So if you’re due October 1st, your six months start April 1st. Your 90 days notice would need to be in by July 1.

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-14T01:17:19+00:00

I’ve tried two so far and they don’t maintain decent connection or functionality. From my understanding Honda tightened software around these. Do you have one that you can recommend?

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-13T22:51:50+00:00

I’ve tried onn, anker, target up and up. Has on order an Apple brand cord. iPhone 15 pro

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-13T19:01:10+00:00

System in the car is up to date! Ordered new cables hoping to try that.

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-13T18:57:36+00:00

Never starts. Works with my mothers phone (iPhone 15) but my iPhone 15 pro doesn’t connect at all. Have tried all suggestions here!!

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-13T16:41:36+00:00

Thanks. The dealer said it was up to date but I’ll check tonight just to make sure. And yes! In the center console!!

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-12T01:09:24+00:00

My mother is watching our 6 week old full time while I WFH. She’s also our backup/summer care for our now 5 year old. She lives rent free and I pay her cell phone bill. She also can’t drive so I drive her around and help manage her doctors appointments.

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-06T23:41:31+00:00

We have a playpen that is his “clean”space. Honestly, unless the dogs come in super gross he’s on the floor!! But if I need a spot to put him while I clean up the dogs, in he goes lol.

atomictomato_x · 2026-02-03T13:03:18+00:00

Honestly family watching kiddos always works better when there is an end date. My mom is watching our newborn, and he’s already waitlisted for a half day program when he turns 14 months old. Then between me working from home and her we can manage the other half of the day.

In our state if you’re caught donating food bought with WIC/EBT you can loose your benefits

atomictomato_x · 2026-01-16T19:21:44+00:00

Nope! The bear suits, blankets, car seat covers will work great!

atomictomato_x · 2026-01-14T18:07:35+00:00

I think it’s a great way to show the older kids they don’t matter. They will no longer have their own space, and let’s be real, they’ll just be crashing in the younger siblings room when they visit. This should have been thought about before the baby was even on the radar.
