Amanda, check my sig - March 25th less than 3 weeks now And good luck with all you have onboard over the coming weeks

Theresa, same here, they are such strong girls to be going through all this. And glad to see they can still give you plenty of absolute joyous and wonderful times.

Re the seat... the australian laws are some of the slackest about when it comes to baby car seats etc. We were gonna turn Jordy's around til I found an article in the paper some time back (which I posted in a thread down in the General Forum ages back) - there's been a few more articles since then. Basically we'll keep Jordy rear facing as long as physically possible. He'd be the best part of 11kg now (or maybe more) but zero intention of turning him yet

Also the use of proper booster etc seats and seat belts/harnesses. The story I read on the weekend was how 2 girls in the back seat, 3 and 7. Both using the same setup. The younger received fatal tummy injuries due to the seatbelt setup being to "old" for her. Her sister was uninjured

This is one area I will never ever be lax on. Dont care if it means spending another $100 blah blah "just in case". I hope it ends up being the biggest waste of money but if it is needed, then what a sigh of relief we'd all breathe
