Car Seats After Infant Carseat

Hi, Our 10 mo (soon to be 11 mo) old son is growing out of his infant car seat and we're looking for a next one. However, I'm a bit confused. After the infant car seat, do we move on to a "convertible" car seat? Why are these car seats named "convertible"? Do they serve two functions? Or does it mean it can serve as an infant car seat and a toddler car seat, and if we used a separate infant car seat, we'll be wasting money on one function that we will not use? If that's the case, is there another kind of car seats that starts at where...

What's the Best Money You Ever Spent on Making Life Easier?

Hi Ladies, I thought I'd ask you this question because I am SO happy that I had a large coat closet converted into a pantry on one side and closet on the other. It makes my life so much easier because I feel more organized with the pantry. My mom tried talking me out of it by saying stuff like..... "Oh save your money for more important things.... you don't need that." Well.... true, I don't NEED it, but it sure has made life easier since I can fit my canned foods in there, trays, tuperware, etc... without having to run to the laundry...

Public Restroom Diaper Changing W/o Counter

My daughter's asking for any/all ideas for diaper-changing an infant in a public restroom if there is no area provided and no flat surface other than the floor. She and her husband just returned from their first weekend out-of-town with their 8-month-old daughter. It was a surprise, and very difficult, to find so many restaurants with nowhere to change the baby. Ideas that have worked for you?

Seeking Advice on Car Seats

My husband and I have done some basic research on car seats and would like to know what the bottom line is on what types to buy and when. Right now we have an infant seat (Graco) for our 7-month-old son and really don't know what to purchase next. We're confused with whether we need a convertable seat (one that goes from infant rear-facing to front-facing for a toddler) or a hybrid (one that goes from toddler to booster seat). We like the Britax models because of their high safety ratings. They're quite expensive so we'd rather not have to...

Graco Snug Ride

I took your advice and bought a Graco Snug Ride infant car seat. We LOVE it and appreciate all the recommendations. Our previous car seat fit on the top of shopping carts (where you'd put your purse), but this does not. Those of you who own one, what is the easiest way to go grocery shopping w/ your baby? I ended up putting the whole car seat in the basket and then there isn't room for groceries. I thought of buying the frame/stoller, but then I'd be pushing two carts. Is it best just to shop w/o baby?
