I found some pictures of ds1 (5) as a baby. I wanted to share the pics of how far I have come since having ds2! It is amazing!

Here is ds1 coming home from the hospital. 9/22/02

And here he is at 6m old.

Here he is again rf in his overhead sheild at around 6m

Wow! That is all I can say!

Here is ds2 at 9 weeks:

and he is 13m in my signature... I try to be more understanding when I see people make mistakes b/c I wasnt educated at one point. But it is so hard.

You've come a long way :thumbsup:

Those are so cute

I think that picture is an excellent photo example of why people should never use an OHS for a baby or small toddler.

Oooh, Noah's Ark Century SmartFit! You did really well on the harness and chest clip, though, handle's down in the car... could be worse. (My friend's baby had that one in 1997, was yours handed down?).

That's a Central Park Snugride...that was a nice soft cover

And, the ONLY reason I didn't buy a shield seat was because the Consumer Reports book on baby gear I bought showed one dramatically failing in a crash... the info just isn't easy to find, and those are sitting on the shelf looking all safe...how IS a parent to know?

Not too bad. I did worse, I brought my baby home in 2004 in a 3 pt evenflo discovery w/ aftermarket head support. Then at 10 months moved her to a FF comfortsport OHS (my mil told me it would be alright)!

I LOVE that snugride pattern! So pretty!

My best friend had that Noah's Ark seat. It was sold as a travel system and she purchased it in October 2000. So, I guess that pattern was around for quite awhile.

It was, at the time, 5 yrs old. I had a car seat tech install the seat in 2002. I had no clue. And the OHS was a baby shower gift. I ended up passing it on to a 2 yr old.

Boy oh boy...

That is the Central Park Snugride. I LOVE it. I will either be using it with the next baby or be buying a safe seat. I havent decided yet.

So you don't feel it too girly for a boy to use?

Oh, because I will be getting a new infant seat for this baby. I was looking at the Central Park but wasn't sure if it was too girly. I briefly saw it IRL but didn't think til I got home that I should have really looked at it and the insert (it was a SS1).

I think it is totally okay for both. I was looking into the same one for the next baby if I dont keep this one. This one only goes to 20lbs and 26" so I want a higher weight one.

I am thinking about the SS1 in that pattern. I won't be buying until spring so i'll see what they come out with between now and then.
