Has anyone heard of this??? Re: Type of car seat hospital will let you go home with.

So, I have to ask... what if you don't subscribe to the whole car thing?

You can say "no" when they ask if you have a seat in your car then sit back and enjoy watching them get in a tizz hehehe.

i was thinking the exact same thing: what about people who don't have a car. what about people who don't have a pram? or a capsule. and what if they don't even want any of this stuff. it is completely possible to raise children without these things.

Our hospital just told us we had to have a seat installed in our car. They never asked if we did or not, and they certainly didnt come out to the car and check it.

We just had a backward facing seat. You dont have to have a capsule.

If you said that you didnt have a car seat or capsule they would probably get you to call a taxi with a backward facing seat or capsule in it...

hey

our hospital didn't ask us anything at all.
they just asked us if we had any questions and gave me numbers to call if i needed help. we carried all 3 babies out.
we have a S&S seat.
for all they knew i could have been getting a bus home.

We just put bubs in the capsule and walked out no probs- they didnt even ask anything about how we were getting home etc!
but the hossy was soo slack on so many fronts anyway!

The possibility has crossed my mind. I have a friend who caught the train into hospital while in labour - what a crack up! Then caught the train home with baby. Awesome.

What a trooper! That is an awesome story to tell your grandkids one day. And everyone thinks it was amazing that I went and visited family with my 4 hour old baby in my arms. (Was released from the birth centre 3 1/2 hours after DD was born, and took her straight to my In-laws house. DH's uncle and cousin were there, too and they're still telling the story). But catching the train home is way cooler.
