Suggestions on a hiking baby carrier

I have been iso a hiking carrier for my almost 7 month old as we are looking to start some hiking this spring… anyone have an Osprey or WIPHA? The Osprey is just SO expensive ($250-350) and would like some feedback/justification of the price. Thanks in advance mamas🤩

How often do you change your contacts case?

Every time I put in my contacts I think of the time I was shopping with a friend and she said she needed to buy a new case for her contacts because she lost the lid. When I told her it was cheaper to buy the 5 pack she said she didn’t want to waste 4 containers. She straight up didn’t know you’re supposed to change ...

Fiat 500x

Does anyone have a Fiat 500x? If so, what seat have you found fits best? I have been recommended a Joie ipivot or Britax Dualfix M Plus but also wondered if a Britax Max Safe Pro would fit 😬 Almost 8mo is 38th centile for weight and 10th for height so have no worries about outgrowing a seat quickly.

Light projector recommendations

Anyone got a good one that actually reaches the ceiling and is clear? We had a really good one from previous baby but it’s broken and no idea where I bought it!

Car seats

Can someone please advise actual guidelines for car seats.. basically I thought the handle had to be put down once in the car, but a friend always leaves hers up. I can’t find actual guidance anywhere that states what’s right and wrong… Baby is 16 weeks for reference.

Harness or seatbelt?

I've made the decision to forward face my 4 year old for personal reasons, he's 18kg and 105cm. Would it be best to buy Joie bold to keep him in a harness for longer or should I go with the britax kidfix and use a seat belt? Or anything else you'd recommend?

Car seat recommendations

Hey everyone 👋🏽 I’m just looking for a car seat recommendation for my boy. I’d ideally like a 360 spin/rotating one and was just wondering if anybody has bought one for their LO and what their opinions are? Or if you’ve bought a really good car seat that you would recommend? Thank you in advance for the advice!

Silver Cross Coast travel system

Hi all, just after any real life experiences of the Silver Cross Coast travel system? I bought this in a 17 piece bundle as it was such a good deal, however I never see this recommended anywhere or hear of anyone's experiences (good or bad)! If you've used this could you let me know your thoughts?

Toddler sling

Has anyone got any recommendations for a toddler sling? I've been having a look at several options but I am having PTSD from the baby carrier and how it gave me a bad back, looking for something slim and lightweight.

Non leak nappies!

Hey all! What nappies are best for not leaking overnight? As much as I've loved Aldi's I'm finding the bigger ones just don't hold as much and we get some very wet clothes 😅 tried Bambo and they were great overnight but wanted some more options xoxo

Bouncer

I have a graco simple sway swing that’s just a little too big for my 3week old. Is the baby delight bouncer worth the hype? I’d love to have something to set him in while I dried my hair and things??

Buggy/stroller

We’re looking at strollers as I think it’s time to move on from the big travel system pram. Any recommendations? It’s doesn’t have to be super compact for flying but just something that doesn’t take up so much room in my boot or that I have to put together anchors take apart!

Driving with baby

Hello How do you find driving with your baby? Do they like it? Hate it? My LO is 15 weeks old and she used to hate the car seat .. I think she still does but because she can see more around her then she probably gets more entertained. My husband and I have been terrified of leaving her in the car seat so we ne...
