[QUOTE=EJsGirl] :eek: Wow. I see a slap in that kid’s future. Unless of course, the parents never told him it was wrong… Where did he learn the word “fucker,” I wonder… :mad: [/QUOTE] From daycare, apparently. There is a four-year old girl there who is quite verbal and who likes to teach the younger kids how to act out. ---

[QUOTE=Belrix] The “baby bucket” carrier is wonderful for grocery shopping. Most have a notch that fits neatly on the wire back of the kid-riding part. The baby faces you and you can goo-gah all you want at it. Meanwhile, both hands are free for shopping and/or herding other children. Carrying the baby-bucket into a friends house while visiting means you can put the child down on something besides the floor - it acts as a portable bed for naptime. I wouldn’t want to walk the mall with one, they swing and are heavy, slowly pulling your arm out of its socket but if you’re going someplace with shopping carts, they’re just what the parent ordered. [/QUOTE] When our twins were very small, [we had one of these.](http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-0756576-1803827?ASIN=B000LEI82W&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000LEI82W%7CBaby_Trend_Double_Snap_N_Go_Stroller_Black&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000LEI82W&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001) Essentially it is a stroller without seats - you click in a car seat, attach a restraining strap and go. This model held two car seats and folded down to next to nothing. The advantage, of course, is that if they’re sleeping you don’t have to wake them. And car seats are convenient - ours were used as feeding and sleeping seats when we were on the go. ---

As long as baby gets some time to lie on the floor on it’s tummy, and some time being cuddled, no problem. Worst case though is baby only getting lifted out of the car seat to be changed, bathed and put in it’s crib- not good for muscle development or secure attachment. ---

I must be a little silly. I always assumed it meant that if you are going to have a child, you should be on the road going to activities with the child (carrying the baby) instead of leaving the baby with a sitter while you are going to adult activities on your own or with other adults (carrying the empty car seat). ---

What would annoy me the most is the attempt at enlightening the whole world with their more evolved moral-esque “bumper sticker” :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Alice The Goon] Wow- I did not know that there was a contingent of people who think you should never put your baby down. Huh. [/QUOTE] What good could possibly come out of constantly pointing out the child’s shortcomings? ---

My guess is this: You know how you often see people carrying car seats around with the baby still strapped in, sort of dangling there? Maybe they’re saying, how about some human contact for that kid, how about a little more vigilance. Just guessing.
