I bring the car seat in the house, but my cousin bought a cheap 2nd baby monitor that she sticks in the car and leaves LO in there (obviously well ventilated and temperature OK) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33613 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:57:59 +0000 sandsandmore 33613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I would just take the carseat inside and let him sleep till he woke up. I"m not waking a sleeping baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33566 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:07:05 +0000 Andrea 33566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: you're not alone sister!! i wonder how many parents in this world sit in their driveways with a sleeping baby? it's like we should have a network so we can chat while doing so. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33390 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:05:14 +0000 heffalump 33390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one! I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33389 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:03:53 +0000 mrs. wagon 33389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: couldn't agree more! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33386 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:02:39 +0000 heffalump 33386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: I often think about the money we waste on gas too.. but her naps are priceless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33344 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:13:08 +0000 chopsuey 33344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would if my LO continued to sleep, but she seems to know when we get home. It's the weirdest thing.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33338 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:06:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 33338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! RJ pretty much LIVED in his carseat for the first 3 months. he also slept great in his convertible... when he was transitioning from 3 naps to 2, I'd get him to take the 3rd nap by driving him around. I really wonder how much $ I spent on gas for naps! It's a good thing I had a smartphone otherwise I'd have been really bored every day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33332 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:49:48 +0000 Andrea 33332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: totally. we do the same thing all the time - sit in the driveway! </p> <p>as for in the house, yes, we did that when she was in the infant carrier but not for a long period of time as she usually woke up shortly after arriving back home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33331 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:47:30 +0000 polkadots 33331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: ha agreed! a good rest for you both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33305 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:00:47 +0000 heffalump 33305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelife: I think it's more tired than dedicated. I need her nap more than she does. And I always have my phone and hellobee to keep me entertained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33298 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:53:16 +0000 SAHM0811 33298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely! not waking them up, but still able to carry them around is the biggest perk of the infant carseat IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33294 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:47:57 +0000 polkadots 33294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yeah I meant staying inside the carseat in the house...</p> <p>@artbee: what a dedicated mother! I would get too antsy inside the car sitting in the driveway waiting for lo to wake up! I would bring her in and let her wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33288 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:45:27 +0000 Rubies 33288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - I figure there is no sense waking her by taking her out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33287 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:45:26 +0000 polkadots 33287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: I don't think so! my LO is still in her carseat sleeping..

Is that bad?!</p> <p>I also had the carseat that came out, so I would take it inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33284 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:43:59 +0000 heffalump 33284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but I stay in the car with her. If I move her she wakes up and I usually like her to get a good nap in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-baby-sleep-in-the-carseat#post-33274 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:35:14 +0000 polkadots 33274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you leave your baby in the carseat if he/she is sleeping once you get home? </p>
