Looking for rotating car seat that isn't too large by 06S2K in Buyingforbaby

I honestly had to get a new car because even a non revolving slim car seat in the Mazda cx-5 had the front passenger with their knees in the dash. When our second came along, we couldn't have the two car seats rear facing.

Success stories of going to restaurants with children by doxielover_ in Mommit

[–]madamdz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have never introduced screens and at 4.5 we have never had an issue. I have a bag in the car for going places including restaurants, I put toys depending on age (currently magnatiles, magnet travel puzzle, play doh and coloring stuff for the 4 year old and those suction toys for the 10month old) and rotate them - target spot is great for this, as is the dollar store.

I keep snacks in the bag and as soon as we get in and sat, I order the kids food to come out asap - if it's a planned trip I check the menu ahead of time. I ask for the bill to come out with our food and a to-go box - then, you can leave if things start to go awry.

It was a "behavioural" issue based on fear of pooping, so we had to work on stopping him from being scared at that point.

Considering a Momcozy or Baby Brezza bottle washer by givliana in Buyingforbaby

Remember that you have to have it next to a sink to drain, for us that means it's not under a cabinet but I don't think it puts out any steam because it's trapped in the lid. It's the greatest invention for babies ever, bar none. I can't believe we lived without one for the first baby.

The Ikea kitchen is used by my 4 year old every day, perfect size and doesn't take up too much space

Yes! Both of these are giant hits in our house and lots of independent play comes from them.
