Too afraid of what could happen. mrstilly on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264218 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 05:59:33 +0000 mrstilly 264218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When DS was a month of two old I was pulling him from the carseat by the time my FIL came to a stop. I shouldn't have, but my new mom hormones, plus the worst dinner out with my in-laws ever had me in a really bad place. I have never done it since, but I have certainly unbuckled myself to nurse him while he was still strapped in properly.

She used to cry all the way home every day but she grew out of that phase.

And I once let DH drive across an empty parking lot while I was nursing her in my arms. EEK! Scariest 10 seconds of my life. haha loveisstrange on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264206 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 03:21:02 +0000 loveisstrange 264206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, I generally just keep driving. She won't calm down in the car even if I stop. As soon as I get back into the drivers seat, she goes back to screaming. I just do my best to get us home as quickly as possible. mrs. wagon on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264204 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 03:13:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 264204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never. But once when we were stuck in traffic in the city, despite both of us telling her not to, my MIL took wagon jr. Out when he was crying. I was so pissed. I told her that if a police officer saw, they'd take the baby away. heffalump on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264202 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 03:00:52 +0000 heffalump 264202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way. We've done a lot of pulling over..... or having the longest five minutes of our lives. But she stays strapped in there. I figure if she's crying its not life or death..... eve if she makes it sound that way. looch on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264193 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 01:59:33 +0000 looch 264193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, I haven't. In the early days, when there was major fussing, we'd pull over. mediagirl on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264190 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 01:44:52 +0000 mediagirl 264190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but I pulled over on the side of an exit road to feed her on the way back from my parents. It was one of those exits whee it says there is food or gas, you get off and the sign says 3 miles away. I just pulled to the side of the road that was a bit too busy for my liking but I couldn't wait another three miles with her wailing.

I would be way to afraid to ... I have too many friends that are pediatric emergency nurses and paramedics that share the most scary stories of improperly restrained babies/kids. It only takes a second for something tragic to happen. cyndistar3 on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264181 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 00:09:54 +0000 cyndistar3 264181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but I did jump from the front seat to the back seat while my dad was driving down the freeway to feed my lo a bottle. I was so happy i took my hand pump on that 800mile journey haha! banana on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264171 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:49:21 +0000 banana 264171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never have because I run the same scenario that @mrs.superhero described in my head and it freaks me out. I heard about a woman who unbuckled her own seatbelt for 2 seconds to reach over to grab a DVD from the backseat and then got sideswiped by another car. Everyone else in that car was fine but she ended up flying out of the car window because she wasn't buckled up. Literally in that split second she unbuckled her seat belt, they got hit by another car! You just NEVER know!!!

Even when LO is crying hard, I know it's better to just stop driving and calm her. I can't get the worst case scenarios out of my head. pinkcupcake on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264157 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:15:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 264157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Superhero: OMG, that is so, so scary!!!! :( :( I always knew I'd be too paranoid to ever take her out, but now I know for SURE I will never, ever, ever take her out. So sad :( :( Mrs. Superhero on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264155 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:11:53 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 264155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never, my mom new a girl who did that, they got in an accident and the baby went through the windshield and died. Never never ever. pinkcupcake on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264152 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:05:42 +0000 pinkcupcake 264152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but I came really close to doing it today. LO had a total meltdown and cried for 30 minutes straight. Broke. My. Heart. :( Mrs. Pen on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264150 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:04:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 264150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but i've unbuckled and leaned over the infant seat awkwardly to breastfeed him in the car because I was desperate! autumnlove on "Have you ever taken your LO out their carseat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-taken-your-lo-out-their-carseat#post-264148 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:02:45 +0000 autumnlove 264148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In a moving car...during a meltdown? I haven't but I've been tempted! Wish I could nurse her in the car!
