As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details. Wobbles (oxsarahxo cannot see this message - Please do not discuss this on the forum) | Welcome to BabyandBump's Baby & Toddler Club Forum - Do you have a baby or toddler from newborn to 5 years? Have some questions, experiences & tips to share with other Mums? Come & chat in our baby & toddler club! This thread is called 'Driving with your LO' and is in our You And Your Family section. |

There are currently 3 seats available in Canada that allow the handle up in the car:
- Graco Snugride (position a, d, and e allowed for vehicle travel - A is all the way up.)
- Graco SS1 (position a, c, d allowed for vehicle travel - A is all the way up)
- Combi infant seats (handle MUST be up in the vehicle on combi infant seats.) | Ours is graco too - looks like this in the car: 
so the handle's forward position is above and not in the way x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I get nervous sometimes when driving alone too, Connor is normally good but when he screams it's hard not to be able to just pull over on the highway and comfort him! |

Off to research a new car seat . . . |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Our carseat is the Graco one also. The handle has different positions, where it will be above her head like that, and one in front of her face, that we only use while carrying her in it. I have two toys hanging from the handle on her carseat, and she doesn't seem interested in them. She always falls asleep in the car if I'm in the backseat with her. The past couple days I have let her cry it out, and today, DH and I were going to MIL's house and sat her back there alone. She whined for a second, started talking to herself, and fell asleep. I was really impressed with how she handled it. It just makes me much more nervous than I already am, and I honestly HATE driving now. Not to mention everyone in the bay area drives like maniacs (with the exception of HollDoll, Suz, & Miel of course!!) Thanks for all the input girls! I guess we'll just keep doing what we're doing.
It kinda sucks since she seems like she is making improvement... But in the beginning of August we are going to Vegas and driving there. (MIL's idea, NOT MINE!) She will probably get used to me being in back with her again from that trip. |

Off to research a new car seat . . . | It is great - love the way it just slots into the base too...but it won't be long before Sam's too big for it! I'm much happier in the car now that he's got something to keep him entertained though. Quote:

Hopefully she'll get used to the fact that she won't be in there for long and you haven't disappeared! And it might not be a bad thing you being in the back with her again when you go to Vegas, especially if she's had a bit of time to get used to the fact that you're not always going to be there x |
