I am sure this has been talked about before, but now that we are getting closer...when are you ladies planning on having your carseat bases installed and hospital bag packed by? I have heard people say 6 weeks before for the hospital bag and I have heard people say they will pack when they go into labor. As for the car seat, I have no idea when you should try to have the base installed by.
Thanks!

Pretty much. We'll probably install the seat a week or so in advance, bu
I'm 32.5 weeks and have had the carseats (still in boxes) for a few weeks now. I've been holding off installing them because (a) I'm afraid we'll get into a fender bender before they're born, and I've heard you're supposed to replace car seats that hav
I planned on the base being installed and bag mostly packed at 35 weeks.
We are installing the base at 37 weeks, and I will start to pack my hospital bag then with items that I have travel size items of. The rest I won't pack until I am close or in labor.
With DS1 I started packing on a Thursday and finished while in labor that Saturday, it really wasn't a huge deal to do some packing while in labor. It's not like we had to fly out the door so we'd get there before he was born, first labors especi
