Seems far away to hit their head if they are strapped in properly but you never know, eh? The other reason I saw was in case the car seat is ejected out of the vehicle but I never found a good reason given for why the bar being locked in case of ejection was preferable. But my manual says to have it down and locked so that is what we do!Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779176630307664546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607662456528136624.post-55399157892431127602012-01-26T20:50:41.451-06:002012-01-26T20:50:41.451-06:00We like Biokleen!

(This was after using RnG) I'm glad to hear you like Charlie's though, just in case we ever need to change for some reason. <br /><br />Unrelated, I can't follow your blog on the app I have for some reason, such a bummer!

I work full time plus and am going to school. I can only do so much. He does quite a bit of caretaking of our five month old son. <br /><br />I am choosing not to vaccine and take my son to a Chiropractor. <br /><br />I breastfeed but am not able to produce enough so when he is not with me he gets formula. Maybe 1-2 bottles on the days I work. <br /><br />I love to babywear out and about but not so much at home. I just got an ergo and am still working on figuring out the hip and back carry. Then I may wear it a bit more. <br /><br /><br />I don't fit into any certain mold just do what works best for my family.Tayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500254528393374873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607662456528136624.post-79460765604667712952012-01-19T07:57:01.062-06:002012-01-19T07:57:01.062-06:00How heartwarming.

Small businesses are going under, people are losing their homes and there is a lot of struggling to afford the basics in life.<br /><br />Here's hoping things improve for everyone in need.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732069465269276569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607662456528136624.post-82969963045286667102012-01-07T08:21:56.709-06:002012-01-07T08:21:56.709-06:00We've got our own tried and true method for od...We've got our own tried and true method for odor-free cloth diapering. Start with a gentle cycle in the wash using only white vinegar as the detergent. Then follow up with a heavy duty cycle using Tide Free and Gentle powder (works better than liquid). No stains, no stink. And, if somehow a nasty stain happens to make its way through? Just put the diaper or liner in the window - the sun bleaches it out every time.iDanhttp://www.theanthologie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607662456528136624.post-71845705809981807332012-01-06T19:14:19.778-06:002012-01-06T19:14:19.778-06:00We use Rockin Green.

But if I had been out with you when that woman was sniggering on the couch, I would have opened my mouth. And I don't normally open my mouth (I prefer to let me feelings fester and then blog about them later, haha). That made me so upset for you. <br /><br />I have noticed in general, when people complain about being judged for NIP, it is normally, as you said, women of childbearing age. Its crazy.
