Recaro Baby seat

[j.garner]

Has anyone seen these before im having my first baby and came across it heres a link to them. http://www.recarochildseat.com/RECARO-Como-G2.pro

i guess there not csa approved. so not legal in canada does anyone know what the best brands are for baby seats out there.

[JAYMEZ]

Tunerworks had one.

If you want a good baby seat , go to the Bay , they are pretty good prices.. Ive got two from there. Just remember to get Dark Colors.. kids love to spill everything on them , they get dirty FAST.

Everyone seems to say the Peg Pergo car seat is the safest.

my sister in law has a car seat that doubles into a stroller and has a handle, pretty cool.. Maybe a common feature but what do i know

[Madspinner]

yeah we have one that it comes out of the car and attches into the stroller, Walmart has some good ones. Our new car seat is a eddie bauer .

[5000Audi]

what do you need a convertable or just front facing? i picked one up al walmart for my daughter the other week for like $79 bucks and its a convertable

[j.garner]

I think a convertable would be the best bet im looking at britax brand now. my wife has been looking at user reviews and almost everyone gives them a 5/5 probably going to be hard too convince her other wise. Does anyone on here have one from this brand. Also anyone know a good place to look for a crib.?

This one looks very well bolstered so if you took your car to the track with the baby in the back seat it should be fairly comfortable

I have the Britax Marathon. It has amazing reviews both online and from people I know in person that have it. I can't compare it to anything else since it's the only carseat we have other then the bucket seat we used when he was little, which made life much easier and I would recomend for a newborn. I do love our Marathon.

My friend has both a marathon and a cheaper one and she says without a doubt she loves the marathon way more. It was easier to install, felt more sturdy and her daughter looked more comfortable in it.

Some other popular and well rated convertable seats are:
Britax Boulevard
Sunshine Kids Radian
First Years True Fit

As for cribs it depends on what you want to spend. People like the ikea crib. Walmart, Zellers, The Bay, Sears and Babies R Us all have cribs at similar prices. Don't pay full price though, they always go on sale. Or you can more up to the expensive cribs at places like E-children. Personally the only one I wouldn't buy is a storkcraft since they have been recalled a few times in the last couple years.

lol the recaro seat looked pretty cool but i tihnk im going to go with a britax. kids are expensive but am really excited this is going to be my first. any tips for a new dad? seems like there are alot of dads on the forum here.


Oh a mod can move this to general if they want seems to have strayed away from general car talk.

Does it really matter if it's not CSA or whatever approved? My mr10 lexan windshields arn't dot/tc/whatever approved and they're 100x superior to any glass on the market.

We have a Britax Roundabout that we used, and it was great if you're not looking to have one that's a bucket style. If you're looking for one that's a removable bucket in a base, then Chicco Keyfit rates very high.

As a matter of fact, we're just finished with our Roundabout, so if you're interested in it, I'm sure we could make a mutually satisfactory deal.

U can't acutally use Recaro in Canada as it is not CSA Approved
I got the Pre Perego from Bo Babe I think my wife said it has one of the best safey rating on it and you can attach the car seat into the stroller; but the consequence is that the car seat is really heavy compare to other brands and it only seat up to 22lbs (most other brand is higher I believe) If u decide to buy from Bo Babe u get 5% off if u sign up for the membership card

[baygirl]

You should consider Britax travel system. Say your wife wants to go to the mall, and the baby falls asleep on the way. Instead of having to take the baby out of the car seat, you just take out the seat, and hopefully baby keeps sleeping. And if you have 2 vechicles, you can buy an extra base, instead of having to transfer the carseat. When you look for a stroller, it's a good idea to get one that fully reclines, and if possible a reversible handle. As for advice, you and your wife should make a rule for after the baby comes-whatever you say in the middle of the night when you are both sleep deprived, can't be held against you the next day. As for right now, remember she is busy growing a human being, so what she says goes.

Recaro's are super crazy!

The suede they use is nicer than the suede in my cars' Recaro seats They are extremely hard to get, but the price on them is really reasonable.

[nonlinear]

I came across www.beingdadusa.com and downloaded their free eBook (link on the right hand side of the page). I found it pretty insightful - there's some really good info in there

Short clip on new dads (from the same site)

I believe KAOS on Beyond bought one while back IIRC.

We had the Peg Perago that attached to our stroller for the first 6 months, we now have the Britax boulevard I think, go check out Kazc Kids or E- children most of our stuff came fr those two stores. And a great book to pick up would be "Healthy Sleep Habits" by Weisbluth. Definitely helped us out. Also, Radian car seat have a steel frame so they are a little heavy, probably not for you but the wife might have a hard time, and make sure you secure the baby in properly, if you get pulled over with a car seat most often than not they will inspect if the baby is in there properly if not you get tickets and have to attend a training course/ seminar, fun stuff....
