Hi Ladies

Have been reading all the posts since I was last on and thought I should pass on some info about car seats.

Some of the new Safe-n-Sound seats can be rearward facing until baby is 12kgs, but most are 9kgs. You need to read the instruction booklet. just remember that if baby is turned too early and you are involved in an accident then baby is not covered by Transoprt Accident Insurance and your car insurance could become void aswell. I found this out through VicRoads. In regard to height of straps, they need to be above or level with shoulder, being below the shoulder will cause more damage if you are involved in an accident.

I also read on the internet that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that baby is rearward facing for the first 12 months as it is the safest way for baby to travel and they sustain less injuries if you are involved in an accident.

I'll get off this morbid topic to et you know that Ella has finally cut her second tooth. It has taken 8 days of crying and fevers for it to finally happen. YAY.
