For all your "legitimate" children

[bimmerboodle]

Chad, if you have one with a detatchable base, do yourself a favor and buy a second one and keep it in the other car.

Yes we do, and that's the plan! Although why in the hell do the extra bases cost almost as much as another car seat!!!

Because as you learn, baby stuff is as costly as aircraft hardware...because you simply "have" to have it or you are a neglectful parent.....Think of the Children......

I never sat in a child seat growing up, hell, I never wore a seat belt, I sat on the trans hump in my parents old merc's. Sometimes I would sit on the arm rest just so I could be at the same level, all this crap, it's bullshit.

Ding Ding Ding....we have a winner.... you need a ton of diapers, a ton of wipes, a ton of those little one piece thingies for the baby to wear, get the kind like a sleeping bag with arms for the winter. a ton of those cloth diapers to put over your shoulder for spit-ups.do your best to help out as much as you can.
No one can really tell you because you have to find out for yourself but after the scared shitless phase is over, then the I am so tired , I can't believe it phase sets in, you will get into a routine as best you can and will see that a lot of stuff in the "magazines" is fluff. Even more so for the second child...with the second, there is no scared shitless phase either.
