Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

My dad REALLY wants one. He wants to be able to Jack around to see all of his buddies - and have him hang out with him at his Country Club.

We have two carseats (but the one in DH's car has been used once)

Should I give my dad that carseat for alittle while to see if he ever uses it - then we could always buy another one?

Should I just buy another one for his car and keep one in DHs car?

Should I tell my dad to shove it and that my kid is not for show and tell (KIDDING!)

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

DH doesn't even have carseats in his car, so no, our parents definitely don't either. Definitely steal James's and put it in there for awhile!

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yep...my mom has one in her car.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

My mom bought a carseat last summer when she watched DD for a few days while DH and I went away. She has used it a bunch of times since then and it has come in handy!

I would definitely get your dad a carseat for his car (or take DH's).

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

We have them for my mom's car but haven't installed them yet. She's the emergency contact for school and I didn't want her to have to figure out how to get carseats if they called her in an emergency.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

My parents purchased one when I was preg. It has been great for when they watch him or we all go someplace.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yup. My parents have carseats.

Same here! My car has the two car seats and that's it! If you have my kids, you have my car. DH doesn't have seats in his cars either!

To answer the question, no my parents don't have car seats.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yep. They do.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yup, my parents have one that they share between their cars.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

No, we actually one have one, so far havent needed another one....like others say if DH takes him out, he uses my car......

I wouldnt buy another one, seems like a waste of $$. Iw ould give him DH's to use..and then if he is using it all the time, let your dad buy one for his car when they are on sale. you can get cheap ones that are good quality. Although they are not hard to remove in and out of the car I find.

Mine do but they watch DD 2x/week while I'm at work.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

We move DH's car seat between DH's car and my parent's car (if they have DS). My parents do have a car seat from my nephews but it is 9 years old and I would rather they use the one I provide. At least I know it is clean

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

yes, my mom does. So does MIL.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

my MIL has one because she watches Matthew for 2 days --- she bought it herself actually.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

My mother has one. She watches my daughter two times a week so it is worth it. A few times on weekends she'll stop by and take my daughter shopping. I get the house to myself while DH is working. Love that!! Buy your dad a carseat.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yes my mom has one in her car.

She doesnt really like to drive in the car alone with Megan but its helpful since most times I dont have a car during the day. Either I borrow her car or go out with her on errands and stuff.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

My mom bought one last summer when we switched to the convertible. Prior to that, she had an additional base.

My parents both watch DD but Dad doesn't have a carseat. I think we may get him one so he can take her places if need be.

I love that my mom has a car seat. If I go out with her we can take her car (a little roomier), she can take DD on errands when she watches her. I just think it is also safer since she watches DD. I really think my dad should have one, too, but I think he was a little nervous about driving DD until just recently.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

yes both sets of grandparents have a carseat in their cars.

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

my mom has one in her car- and she bought it....

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Re: Do your parents have a carseat in their car?

Yes, they use it in my moms car.
