front facing now

fiazo · January 2011

Ugh! I really wanted to wait til spring to turn the car seat around, BUT we decided we had to do it now. The last 3 times she has been in the car she has thrown up. And she has probably only been out 4 times this year. The last time I attributed it to teething, but this time I don't see any symptoms of teething. I believe she is getting motion sickness. I'm hoping that turning the seat will help.

That seat is a *** to take apart the cover to wash it. Not to mention all the clothes she is wearing. Freakin stars everywhere.

Don't feel badly... we're turning Aaron around next week. He is really tall and our cars are really small so he's quite smushed. I wanted to keep him rear-facing until age 2, but I'm tired of him fighting me every time I put him in the seat. It's a struggle and I think it's because his legs get caught.

I hope the foward facing does the trick to stop the car sickness. My college roomie could never sit rear-facing on a train because of that. (When we went to NYC.)

I'm sorry Zofia, but don't feel bad. If turning her around will help poor little S's tummy then it's for the best. I mean, you can't have her being sick everytime she's in the car, right?

Oh, poor Sienna (and poor Mommy)! I hope turning her around does the trick. Pumpkin once vomited ALL OVER my old minivan (yeah, I had a mini van with only one kid... overkill!). In the heat of the Georgia summers, it always smelled like vomit in there. I was so happy to sell it!

Ugh! Makes you want to throw up yourself smelling it. Even after washing the cover something still smelled...those damn straps! I soaked them in febreeze. I hope that does the trick. & all I can say is thank God for leather seats. I am so glad I made that choice or I'd want to sell my vehicle too.
