Course loads there waiting for appointments
The girls are at least 6 months off needing the next stage seats
Got to 3.5yrs rear facing with my 2nd baba in a Joie every stage, delighted with it, sorry to have to turn him but baby number 3 arrived and logistics didn't allow it, like bloody tetris
can't imagine for the life of me moving my 16wk old out of maxi cosi for ages yet, she's massive compared to the twins but no way! Also does Lisa not realise it's a million times easier when you can take in and out a maxi cosi when they fall asleep in the car etc. Then again hers are hardly ever taken outside the sitting room 
My poor little monkey probably thinks the car is her bedroom as we're on the road constantly for school runs fir the older 2, I'll be getting as long as possible out of the maxi cosi
This one is the most miserable bastard I've ever seen!! Was she expecting a red carpet like..? My friend works there, must warn her
Is that the one that does the baby suits I'm sorry now but she gives me a rash has she her own thread
Here you go
I don't follow her, hadn't heard of her until I seen your comment here, just had a look at her page...
duck sake, what an ungrateful witch!!! I had a miscarriage last week, I'd give anything to be in her situation right now, I'd take a store room scan over a "sorry your baby is gone" conversation with a midwife in the early pregnancy unit anyday
She really doesn't realise how lucky she is, if youre reading here, cop yourself on, we are coming through a bloody pandemic, nurses, doctors and hospitals are still under pressure, if a scan in a 'store room' is all you've to worry about, you're doing well
I’m so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had 2 in 2020- now they’re horrible experiences. Can’t believe the ttc one. She should be delighted her baby is fine
Thank you I guessed she would have one
I was going to put my 7.5 month old baby into the joie spin as I generally taught she had outgrown her baby seat until the woman in the shop told me she has another 4/5 months in it at least. She saved me €350. My baby was full term is an average sized baby so they don’t need to be in them if my 7.5 month was told she has 4/5 months left in it
Well my daughter is 7.5 months and I was told she has another 4/5 months in it at least as I felt she was to big for it. The woman adjusted the straps took the newborn puff out and she is perfect in it saved me €350 as I was about to buy the joie spin 360 seat. They are small for 4.5 months they definitely do not need new car seats if my normal average sized 7.5 month old was told she has another 5 months in it at least
I’m from Waterford and couldn’t fault midwives or any of the staff throughout my pregnancy out there I was out their for 2 hours one day waiting around it wasn’t their fault they had 4 staff members out sick with covid and one sonographer on, if she’s complaining at this stage she has a long road ahead of her

Glad you were ok!
Yeah she would really wanted to lower her expectations a bit. They don’t have time for tea and chats at these appointments and she should probably come to terms with that now as that appt will probably be the norm!
I’ve often described maternity hospital experiences as “the mart”
Dangerous things Lisa has done off the top of my head….(but she won’t compromise on safety)
Wedge two co sleepers up beside each other
Put huge blankets on the babies when they were very very newborn
Feed them under her arm without looking at them
Feed with milky mate
Put them in high chairs that they were not ready for
Spend hours on end with babies in car seats when they were tiny
Put both babies in an ill fitting sling
Put baby on the kitchen counter in a baby seat
I could probably go on and on but she won’t compromise on safety

So just to clarify the maxi cosi cabriofix isn't outgrown until the baby is 13kg or the top of the head reaches the top of the seat shell (about 85cm for most babies) that's about 18 months old for the average baby. Some get longer some don't.
Multi stage seats are not the best, they don't do everything well. She would be wise to keep them in the cabriofix for another year at least then purchase 2x Axkid Move seats which will last until those girls are about 6 or 25kg.
The spin seats are handy but not essential and outgrown at 18kg (lots of kids reach it before 4 years old which is a bit early to FF, best to stay RF as long as possible and RF seats are actually easier to access.
She's not one bit concerned about car safety anyway because she's had non crash tested add ons on their seats from day 1, buckled in poorly and missing padding (safety essential) so she need not pretend now.
She'll probably stick them in those horrific cybex seats that get gifted with the big bar across babies chest (not safer than RF infant could be argued that they are the least safe). Or if she doesn't get gifted those it'll be Nania from Aldi because de mudder was in der.

Most of those car seats are by weight. Maxi cosi cabriofix is to 13kg, my 9month old is 11.5kg!
Just because it says suitable to 18 months doesn’t mean it is. The up to 18kg seats were outgrown here by 2.5 not 4yrs as advertised
on that note she no more needs new seats.. why is she rushing them to grow up? God I wish my eldest girl was a baby again, the attitude from her now
You just know she will want to keep using isofix for sheer laziness when it's just as safe as belted. Belted is safer IMO if you strap correctly as isofixes can always fail
Belted is also easier IMO
Much easier to get a good fit and once you figure out the install you're away with it.
Lisa probably hasn't the mobility to install a carseat herself. But RSA will do it for her.
I would say if she thought it was easier to lie them down on the back seat with the milky mates she probably would. I’m bleeping disgusted at how those babies are fed in the mornings. They’re just awake after a long sleep. They’re babies. Sidelying feeding them where you can’t even bleeping see them is so dangerous I just can’t understand it. You paid €12k to have them and you can’t even hold them to feed them. It’s nothing to do with having 2. People with 5 or 6 babies in multiples births bleeping manage it.
You me and ttc but put that all together iykwim!! Can’t believe she’s. 47 my mother in her 60s looks better!! All I could see is her constant moaning about every ache and pain
if she’s nearly 50 having a baby it’s going to be tough going!!Youmeandttc
She's ages from 10k followers so can't have her own thread yet. I wonder if there could be one for the Irish fertility huns?
I mean theres more than one of them that's a pain in the arse
You me and ttc but put that all together iykwim!! Can’t believe she’s. 47 my mother in her 60s looks better!! All I could see is her constant moaning about every ache and pain
She's not even 40 yet! She's 36 her partner is 47!!
Again this evening feeding from afar and the milky mate.
