Hi Jolie! Worse than mud is NYC grime from playgrounds. I want to secretly go in under the cover of night with a powerwasher and a vat of lysol and clean ours. Every single pant or short or dress comes back just filthy. We now have a drawer of clothes to wear to the park that we do not care about.  Read more

You must be super strong to carry that seat. I tried to install one once and almost died. Read more

My kid doesn’t meet the limits for a booster seat yet and is normally in a 5 pt rear facing car seat but this harness worked out great for travel.  Read more

Yes but we beat the crap out of that stroller and it has held up way better than the $30 one that we abandoned at the grandparents’ place. I’ve probably run over 200 miles using that umbrella stroller (I’m a slow runner and run on smooth-ish paths, but still). The airlines have literally thrown it here and there when… Read more

Not sure. We have only the one child so side passengers are not an issue. When the harness is anchored to the top point in the car there seems to be very little ability to slide side to side.  Read more

I’m not apologizing. This admin can dish it out but can’t take it. Idiotic FLOTUS prattling on about “be best” (which is not even grammatically correct) while children are being locked in cages. Ridiculous. Read more

I think Fonda is speaking to the issue of the high likelihood that some of the people in charge of these kids are abusers (see recent story re police officer abusing child, etc.). We have no way of knowing what background checks, if any are in place or what procedures for monitoring, etc. are there. I think he is… Read more

You can send the tick for testing yourself. I’ve used this lab several times and have been very impressed with their services. https://www.tickreport.com/ Read more

The makers of the vest say that it has been tested to the same safety tests as traditional car seats. For us the choice was go with a dodgy rental car carseat or use this. We opted to use this. Read more

Bubblebum looks great! For us, we have one car seat that we leave in our car and one that is super light because we travel a lot. This harness was just to solve the problem of schlepping a car seat (no matter how light) on a trip with very limited and slow driving. Also the idea of lifting a Recaro (which do look… Read more

Yes, but she’s kind of a backseat driver so rear facing it is! At least until she hits the limit for our current car seat. Read more

I cannot wait until we can use that. Though because the bulk of our driving is on one of America’s most dangerous roads (hello Taconic Parkway), I think we’ll still go with a 5-pt seat even after kid is 4, but likely just in our car. Mifold for everything else. Read more

No, this one can’t be used on a plane because most airplane seats have only a lap belt and nothing to tether the harness to. I recently had a flight with a weird shoulder belt thing, but I think this still would not work. We bought this (https://www.amazon.com/CARES-Child-Airplane-Travel-Harness/dp/B0012E4FV8) for… Read more

It’s because she didn’t know forward facing was a possibility. I guess this harness may change that. We’ll find out this weekend, I guess. Read more
