I accosted my first stranger last night leaving the dentists office, to find out from them how they liked their car seat. They had an absolutely adorable 3 week old son that I just wanted to reach out and hold. I was very close to being one of those weird people that tries to touch a perfect strangers baby.
Anyways…
So as we are descending the escalator I see this couple with a maxi cosi car seat, a car seat that has been in and out of my mind for a few months now. I nicely asked the husband how he liked his car seat, making sure to preface with the fact that I am pregnant. Since as you know I really don’t look pregnant and it might scare him that a stranger is asking about a car seat.
They were both very nice and gave me their honest opinion about the car seat. They both felt that although the straps were a little bit tricky to latch overall they felt it was a sturdy and safe model. They liked that the handle was solid plastic and the support was good around the babies head. It was nice to get an opinion from a real person and not just a review online.
Now that Sean and I are in the car seat/stroller research stage I am constantly looking at what people have to get ideas. Who would have thought this decision would be so hard. Thankfully I have Sean to help who will look at the situation and not get distracted with cute patterns and fun designs and will help find a stroller and car seat that are going to be best for us.
