We kinda feel our baby, our responsibility. And sometimes in emergencies we ask them to go pick her up so it's a pain for them to come to our house and unlatch car seat and latch into theirs. It'll make their life a little easier since often they are doing us a favor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-for-grandparents-car#post-817257 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:22:01 +0000 Pink Champagne 817257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My inlaws babysit so they bought a convertible car seat. I wasn't comfortable with MIL dragging LO out and about when he was a tiny baby because it was wintertime when I went back to work. I certainly didn't buy it for them though- I figured if she wanted to go to the mall and stroll LO around so badly, she could shell out the bucks for the carseat herself (they have plenty of parks and entertainment within walking distance of their house, and in an emergency I would hope they would dial 911 first before hopping in the car) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-for-grandparents-car#post-817220 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:10:54 +0000 regberadaisy 817220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: hahaahahhhhhhhhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-for-grandparents-car#post-817217 Thu, 30 May 2013 09:10:32 +0000 T-Mom 817217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have a britax boulevard which I got for them.
