Hey guys, I can't believe I haven't been on here forever. Life has been a bit crazy! I'm having the baby next week and I'm now the proud owner of a cubes KF thanks to my really nice in-laws! I got two questions:
1. should I remove the shoulder pads? I can't tell if they'll push down the chest clip or not, I suppose it depends on the size of the baby. But since I don't wanna mess with the harness as I'm leaving the hospital I figured I'd ask if you guys know how it generally fits.
2. sitting postions!! dd is in a RFing MA in the center and the KF fits nicely behind the passenger seat. I'm worried about two things:
(a) would she kick the baby? anyone have any issues with having a toddler and newborn sitting side by side and is it smarter to put them both outboard? I'd rather avoid it cause I'd prefer keeping at least one of them in the safer place and keeping the other outboard for an adult
and
(b) the drive back from the hospital having dd between the baby and me might be a little scary. I could put baby in the center and move her seat outboard just for that day (think PITA), but ultimately I think it makes more sense to keep dd in the middle since she'll be in the car everyday (going to school and such) and I won't take baby out so much in the first few weeks (have sitter).
Hum, I guess that was 3 questions... If anyone has any other KF tips I'd totally love to hear. I'm so in love with the seat!! I got a Mac easy traveller to go with it and I'm so excited!
I'm also really excited to have the baby, I'm sick of total strangers pointing out how I'm "ready to pop"
Miss you guys!
