So my husband sent me a picture and the first thing I thought was, that looks similar to my brother old car seat, and wow I didn't know they still make car seats like that anymore. So my husband went to pick it up and had it practically installed before I even had time to process it. I was planning on using the current seat as long as possible. The thing is, my husband doesn't respect car seats. He says they're for North Americans and no-one uses them here anyways. (The people who picked me up on my first day had a two year old in the back seat without a seat belt. You actually feel judged if you use a seatbelt in the backseat. 😬)
So as long as it's buckled in and the baby is buckled in he thinks it's fine. And if I get too pushy we fight. I like following the regulations and having all the buckles snug. So going back to the new car seat. Our friends are well off so I wasn't worried and went to check the expiration date. I couldn't find it. The closest I got was a belt tag with June 96! I looked up the make and model and turns out the last one was made in 2002 and it probably is the same type that my brother used. Meaning our friends used an expired car seat for all their kids and passed it onto us. 20+ years expired. 🤪 And all my husband says is, well they used it and it's better than nothing. 🤨 I can't get over the fact its so old.
Probably taste, although due to the tradition they are super cheap during Thanksgiving and December, so we always ate multiple turkeys during December and January, since my Mom is a great cook and we have a large family. White meat all the way!
@littlelibelula Ugh my husband doesn't take carseats seriously. He's like "we walked around the backseat and we were fine." Yes, and the people who weren't fine didn't live to reproduce and do better with their kids, so it's up to us. He side-eyed me buying a new booster for my daughter so we could use the convertible for the new baby but whatevs. (We got the Britax Grow with You ClickTight Harness-2-Booster which is still $100 off on Amazon)
I'm so sorry he doesn't want to talk names. By then you'll already have a list of top names, pros and cons. He won't know what hit him. 😄
@queen_frostine you can see my whole rant in the name thread, but my husband won't discuss names until 38 weeks. I already have a boy name and a girl name picked out, and have since long before I got pregnant.
