Charlie in the ETA

Sorry I don't have a more current photo. It's tough getting Charlie out of the house so the last thing I'm thinking of is snapping pics of her in the car seat. LOL

So this was taken a few days before she was discharged. She was about 11 1/2 lbs and 23.5" long. It fits her really well and she seems very comfy. She hates it when I put her in it, but then falls asleep every time. :thumbsup: I really don't have any complaints. This seat was VERY handy because DS could still just barely fit in it rf'ing, I could just use the same seat for both kids. Because Charlie has to have someone in the back with her the whole time, I can't have both seats installed so we just take one kid with us at a time. Thankfully there are two grandmas here that are willing to watch DS anytime. So instead of un-installing and re-installing carseats everytime, I just moved up the straps and took out the padding for DS. But alas, I think he's rode rf'ing for the last time in it. He's way too close to the top for me to be comfortable. So he officially outgrew it rf'ing at 32 lbs (fully clothed) and 38". We're getting a mini-van soon thank goodness, so I can just leave both seats in.

Oh, and the straps seem wide at the shoulders, but really, Charlie has quite narrow shoulders for such a big girl. I don't really think it would be a problem for most babies.

She's such a cutie! I love her hair! :love:
It looks like she fits very well in the EFTA. Too bad your DS has outgrown it RF. I really want one of these seats, but I really have no need for it, especially since it's too wide for 3 across. It just looks so nice, though!

Very nice! I really like that seat and have recommened it to several friends. It is great to see a picture of a little baby in there.

I don't know what all machines/monitors she needs to use, but I remember the days of lugging an apnea monitor around. When we brought ds home, the machine weighed more than he did! It was tough, but it got easier. Congrats!!!!!

The only thing she's on now is the feeding pump, which comes with a nifty little backpack and it's not very heavy. She has an apnea monitor, but only at night. We also have to bring the suction machine along, but at least she's not attached to that. LOL Usually for her appointments, we take her off the feeding pump, so she's not hooked up to anything. :thumbsup:
