Re: Poll: In the car
Do you let your LO have a sippy in the car? The non-spill sippies - yes.
How about food? Sometimes. I really don't like to but there are certain puffs I'll let her eat. Or if she is finishing her breakfast banana I'm okay with that.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? I listen to mostly country music. I do not play anything different for her.
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? She has a Britax something or other - the really really big one (cause I got a good deal). I need to buy a back up for K's car and I'm thinking about a simple Cosco so it's easy to travel with as well.
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? I have Traverse. We don't have a carseat for the Jeep at this point so LO doesn't go in that car.

How about food? - Only on long trips
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? - I either listen to my regular music or a kids music mix I have on my iPod
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? - Mike (7) has a Graco booster and Alex (22 month) has a Cosco Scenera

How about food? - Not very often, I'm paranoid about choking.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? - Usually my music (DMB, David Gray) or I'll pop in one of those Sesame Street car ride CD's.
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? - Britax Roundabout
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? - Jeep Liberty, but hopefully a minivan in the next few months.

Do you let your LO have a sippy in the car? Hardly ever
How about food? Rarely - something not messy if anything.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? Now, usually christmas songs. Otherwise, country or her bullfrogs and butterflies cds. I listen to the same stuff without her, but will change off her cd if I realize, but a lot of times I find myself driving by myself listening to it without realizing it.

How about food? On longer trips, or in the morning I'll let him eat some dry cereal
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? I've never put on kids music. Don't even own any. We typically listen to whichever radio station I have on at the time, and sometimes my iPod
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? Britax Marathon in both cars, but we're going to need a new ones soon - he's growing out of it!
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? Me-Honda Civic, DH-Chevy Malibu
Do you let your LO have a sippy in the car? Yes, non-spill straw cup.
How about food? Very rarely. She's rear facing and I can't see her. I'm worried she would choak.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? Right now christmas music or nothing and we sing. The music is different when I'm in the car vs. when she's in the car. I figure she's staring at the back seat, the least I could do was to put music on that she likes:)
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? Britax 65(I think that's the number) same in the truck.
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? I drive a 2007 Ford Taurus. My husband drives his 2010 Dodge Ram. I rarely drive the truck, too big for me.

.
Do you let your LO have a sippy in the car? Yep, both my girls are drinkers. They always have sippies of water available. If we are going somewhere in the evening and it will be bedtime when we get home, I also pack them cups of milk for the ride home.
How about food? Depends on where we are going. If we are going to be out for a while or on a long trip I'll let them have a snack. Nothing really messy but stuff like cheerios, goldfish, animal crackers, etc I'm fine with.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? Whatever is on our satellite radio. We have all different stations programmed. Country, rock, pop, classical, holiday, kid's, hip hop...whatever we are in the mood for! Sometimes Chelsea will say "Mommy I don't like this song, change it!"
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? Britax Boulevards.
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? Hyundai Santa Fe. We actually don't have carseats in DH's Elantra currently. He hardly ever has the girls alone and if he does we just switch cars.
Do you let your LO have a sippy in the car? It has been a sippy cup but I think we are phasing this out so not for long
How about food? Usually, cereal on the way to school and snack on the way home. He doesn't eat breakfast in the am and we pick him up late so both times are hunger times. I try and give him a little something at home in the am but it doesn't always satisfy. As he gets older, I don't think I will allow too much.
What kind of music do you listen to when your LOs are in the car? Is it different from when you are alone in the car? We pretty much listen to NPR all day long, in the car and at home so there isn't really a difference.
What kind of car seat(s) do you have? Britax Marathon
What kind of car do you drive most frequently? Toyota RAV 4
