I haven't ...We had a snugride and it was fine. I haven't seen the newer ones yet. Although I did attempt to help a grandparent install their's in their car. It was a fiasco. Short story: read the instruction manual and don't try to just wing it. Anyways...it should be fine, but I imagine it's heavier so it's up to you or rather how well you think your back can handle it post-delivery.<br /><br />My suggestion: look at one in the store. And then see if you can find it cheaper online. Sometimes Toys R US has online deals. Amazon sells them and you can also call the manufacturer direct.<br /><br />My favs car seats are the Britax. I like them because the latch is easier to install, but with a bucket it shouldn't matter. And I like Peg but I haven't seen one up close and personal. I just like the features, but I'd have to see them in action.Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-89577020372107506172011-03-02T18:15:25.100-05:002011-03-02T18:15:25.100-05:00Car seats expire?
On the diaper front, I THINK I...Car seats expire? <br /><br />On the diaper front, I THINK I started typing this the other day and then got distracted and never posted it, so forgive me if I did, but I will never forget the HORROR of walking downstairs from Nathaniel's bedroom with this gigantic twisted chain of disgusting diapers wrapped around my neck and torso. <br /><br />We had some other device for Finn, but really, I got sick of that pretty quickly too and eventually just started using all the plastic grocery bags we're always accumulating. Especially when he was smaller and we went through diapers more often, I'd just have one open in a little UNCOVERED pail, and when something smelly went in it, it was time to tie a knot in it and throw it in the real trash. The key was leaving it uncovered if it was just a pee diaper -- it's trapping in all the odor that leads to the concentrated stink that makes your eyes tear up!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325772839390431860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-20401389681850881202011-03-02T16:29:56.550-05:002011-03-02T16:29:56.550-05:00I have a Graco Snugride. Well, we kind of bought i...I have a Graco Snugride. Well, we kind of bought it not knowing if we'll like it, so I'm really not much help... But I did ask some women on a Catholic forum, and one lady said she has a Snugride and loves it.<br /><br />Besides the fact that Graco is supposedly good for car seats.<br /><br />We bought ours because we found a travel system (car seat as well as stroller) on clearance at Walmart. Originally $199, marked down to $100. So basically it's like getting the stroller free. It was just because it's last year's color scheme.<br /><br />So maybe hunt around and see if you can find any discontinued items, it saves a lot of money!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037863893536646602noreply@blogger.com
