September 2013 babies!!

[Northern_Shutterbug]

We've just bought an Alfa Romeo 159 sportwagon



It fits a maxi cosi car seat with base for baby, a big high back booster and then a small booster cushion. There are other cars that would be better but hubby really wanted it

The cars we found with the most room were Range Rovers (pretty much all of them), Volvo V70, XC90, XC60, S40. Honda FRV. Opel/Vauxhall Insignia.

We struggled with BMW 5 series as the middle seat is really narrow.

I found a good website which did tests but it was Australian so didn't have many European cars. I'll try to find it again.

We went to a large car supermarket armed with the maxi cosi, booster and cushion, then just went from car to car!

Here's that website

Northern, thanks for the link! That idea is great, taking all the seats and going from car to car! I love that

Luvalittleman, that's true, yes, and I do not truly care what he thinks, I just don't want to be there when he judges me, lol. But you're totally right of course. Thanks

11 Weeks tomorrow! MS appears to have nothing to do with being hungry/blood sugar levels. I am beginning to think it depends on what I eat...too many carbs and not enough protein makes me sick. Overeating makes me sick. Eating fatty protein makes me sick. Will have to monitor what is working and what isn't....

i'm finding fat okay but need to stay low carb no sugar, yesturday i was doing really well until 2pm when I HAD to eat was in the car only thing I had were so haribo ;-9 felt so ill for the rest of the day ;-S have really noticed a difference since i stopped eating sugar

oh car was going to fail the MOT so we had to get rid of it as so yes have bought a 7 seater (i keep the back seats down) as we're really trying to keep this secret until 12 weeks, all my three will be in car seats so have found only 7 seaters will fit three car seats not so bad if your older ones are old enough for boosters thou.

it's a phase we will ditch when ds1 is big enough for a booster (he's not a big guy!)

What's Haribo?
I keep mixed nuts in the car with extra walnuts.
In saying that, I ate really well today:
Breakfast was Chai tea with Baked beans on grain bread.
Morning tea (OK I cracked and had a donut with the kids)
Lunch was turkey breast on W/grain with avocado, tomato, cheese and mayo.
Afternoon tea was cheese and crackers and watermelon.
Slept from 1pm to 3pm (completely passed out)
Still got bloody MS at 4pm...
I give up.

p.s. I have managed to fit 3 children all in either child seats or boosters in the back of a 15 year old Mistubishi Magna Station wagon for the last 3 years. I would post a picture up against your beautiful swanky cars just to give you a laugh but I don't know how to do that...
We are currently looking at buying a house and that means I get to buy a new car finally (woo hoo). Will also be looking at a 7 seater so am stalking your comments on what is good.

Oh my goodness I am sooo sleepy! Not at all sick but just exhausted. At least the two big girls have school tomorrow. DH is normally pretty good but he's had his grump on today so it's been a long one.

Hi everyone and congrats on your pregnancies! I am in the October group and was peeking in here and saw all the stuff about car seats. We are going from 2 to 3 and have found the Diono Radian carseat which can fit 3 across in pretty much any car or suv and they are super safe (alot of the reviews on them come from emts). Just ordered one yesterday. Might be a good option if you love your current car?
Best wishes to all.
