My friend is due in February/March with her first child and most likely only child. She said last night that she and her DH were overwhelmed by the whole car seat and stroller thing. I told her that I didn't know anything about strollers(that market has exploded since I had a baby in the house!), but I would love to help with an infant seat.
BUT...my baby is 6 years old and for an infant seat he used his older brother's seat (who is almost 10 ), so it's been forever since I even looked at infant seats.
So school me, please! My friend is petite--maybe 5' tall, and her DH is tall--over 6', so who knows about baby's size. She's completely open to suggestions though. Not sure if she'll be a babywearer--she's not overly keen on that idea yet, so I'm thinking an infant seat to start.
She drives a 2002 corolla, and he drives a lexus suv thing--a few years old. They are thinking of a new car for her in the next year or so, and would probably go for a subaru. They are frugal folks, but not cheap.
Tell me what's out there so I can do some research before we hit the stores. We now have a Buy buy baby, as well as BBRUS, so we have a few b&m options.
Thanks much!
