What is wrong with me!!!???

I sold a huge box of 12-24mth clothes on Craigslist today. The lady came by to pick up the box and asked if I could put it in her front seat because the trunk was full. She was noticably pregnant. In the back seat of her 2dr Accord was one of those Safety 1st Vantage seats. FF only turns into a bad booster...

So she thanked me, paid me and then she tells me that her son that she's buying the clothes for is really big and already fitting 12mth clothes well and since he's been growing so fast she doesn't want to buy 'new' anymore. Then she said he was 4 months old!!!

It wasn't until I was back in the house finishing dinner that I realized that FF car seat was for her FOUR MONTH OLD!!! :eek:

When I sell kids stuff on Craigslist I usually discreetly throw in the ERF/EH handouts that a BabyCenter mom made. I totally forgot this time because I need to print out some more.

ARGH!!!! Preggo brain SUCKS!!!

Yeah, baby wasn't with her, but we've been trying to get together for about a week. She was supposed to come by last night but didn't. When she called this morning she said that she had forgotten and had been so tired because her pregnancy was going kind of rough.

So when she finally came by this evening her exact words were, "They grow so fast at this age that I don't want to spend a lot of money on new stuff that he's not going to wear for long. He's wearing 12mths already but he's only 4mths old."

I think I was so shocked by the fact that she was pg and had a 4mth old that I didn't think about the car seat until later.

Her 4 month old could be one day short of 5 months :D and she could be 4 months preggy.
I too would have been upset for not telling her, but you must still have her number or e-mail or however you been in touch. I would contact her and mention it, anyway you see fit.

And she didn't say the 4 month old was biological. :whistle:

Do you know she doesn't have any other kids? She is obviously fertile! ;) Maybe that seat is for an older child and she is using an infant seat without a base.

Don't beat yourself up! It is so hard when you think of things later! Just last week a women at LLL asked me to look at her seats and it didn't occur to me until the next day that she has an apex but no headrests.

Oh my. I have one of those seats as a backup and I HATE it. Im replacing it with a GN, as soon as I can. The only good thing I have to say about that seat, is that after DS outgrew the comfortport, this was the only seat I could find that he could fit in height wise to remain harnessed, until I was able to get a Regent. So for us, it served a really good purpose.

On Cafemom, there is a girl on there I think she is 17, She has a 6 week old and was told by her dr, she is 3 weeks preggo
