Baby Car Seat???

[fritz]

If it's a gift Graco has an infant car seat / stroller. It's a base that goes in their car and a "basket" that the baby goes in. The basket clips into the base for when they are in the car and you can remove the "basket" to place in the stroller. It's a fantastic product and is tops as far as safety goes.

Awilda have they set up a baby registry?

How horrible of me not to know the answer to your question!!!! Calling them now.

Thanks Alex!

Chief I found one of their registries! I can't find their registry in Baby-R-Us, although they are registered with them.
This is the one they have picked! Is this a good one, or is there a better one?

Oh dear! Leo, I'm buying it for them as a gift! Not for my car. I doubt I'll have the baby that often since they live in Philly.

LOL. Misread the post. :smash:

That's ok!

Awilda I had one of those and loved it.

FYI that was the car seat that was in the rollover I had as well, didn't move an inch.

 

[Awibrandy]

Great! Thank you Chief! Now I feel good about buying that one.

J AVET (Accident Vehicle Extrication Training) shows it is best to have both as the seat belt will act as a backup in the event (unlikely) that the LATCH fails. I know manuals say lots of things but first hand experience is priceless.

A product like this will make 3 point seat belts into a "LAP BELT"

Thanks for the tip. I thought there was a safety issue involved with using both methods at once. Whats a three point safety belt? Is that what I was talking about - the non locking belts?

If you know the make and model of the car you can find out if they have latch. I think all cars after 2002 have the latch installed in them.

No, the reason to take the car was not to check if it had a LATCH but to try the seat and see if it can easily and securely connect to the LATCH - see my earlier post for the reason.

That's what I was talking about -its called a travel system.

MAZEL TOV! I think you should buy him a nano-reef as a welcome to the world gift - get 'em started young.

Congrats Awilda!!! I think the Britax is the best for the money bit more expensive but it good for an infant seat, toddler and booster. I just gave mine away to my wifes friend. I got mine at buy buy baby. Good luck Joe
