This really isn't a car seat topic, but I'm so sad! My little 2 yr old DD just lost one of her front baby teeth . She was playing rough with my 4.5 yr old DS and he tackled her and she knocked her front teeth loose. One seemed more displaced than the other. Then, last night I was pulling her shirt over her head. It was wet so it stuck and snagged on that front tooth, which was sticking out more, and pulled it right out. The tooth was looser than I thought and just came out. I was mortified! Now my sweet little girl has a toothless smile at only 2! My dentist said that she'll be fine, but now I'm worried about the front tooth next to it as it now seems loose as well. I'm going to call my dentist again tomorrow. I'm so worried, I don't want her to loose both front teeth! My family is just jinxed by teeth, or at least I am. I chipped my permanent front teeth in 4th grade running on wet pavement and I'm still dealing with problems from that accident. Then my DS at 15 months fell and chipped one of his front baby teeth and it has turned grey, but luckily no sign on infection so it is fine. And now my sweet little girl. I'm so sad and I feel horrible about pulling that wet shirt over her head. I have pulled so many shirts over her head that I didn't even think about her loose tooth when I did it. The dentist told me the tooth was most likely already doomed anyway, but I still feel bad.
We all try to keep out kids safe in cars and car seats, but you can't stop them from playing rough. I've joked that I'm going to make them wear mouthguards all the time when their permanent teeth come in. I'm glad that my kids are energetic, but I just wish they played more carefully! But I guess I have myself and my genes to blame for that as I was never a calm child....
