I'd rather leave them car so the seats aren't moved. Not everyone knows how to install them properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-baby-and-toddler-overnight#post-2256542 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:35:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2256542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sungirl: yup! BIL has two girls of his own. They're in boosters now but our car seats are super easy to install.</p> <p>@Adira: LOL they're over at our house all the time so they know where everything is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-baby-and-toddler-overnight#post-2256539 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:34:08 +0000 sungirl 2256539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they know how to install the car seats? Might need a lesson that if they don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-baby-and-toddler-overnight#post-2256531 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:28:20 +0000 Adira 2256531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I left Xander overnight with my parents, I left ridiculously long instructions and information. I included the address/number of where we'd be, our cells, times for food and what to give, tips for bedtime, specific routines, any medication, pediatrician info, ER info, full-name, birthday, allergies of Xander in case they had to go to the ER, and then a list of where everything was located in the house. I also put up sticky-notes everywhere so they could find everything.</p> <p>ETA: And our wifi information! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-baby-and-toddler-overnight#post-2256521 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:20:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2256521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...for the first time!</p> <p>DH and I are getting a hotel room (locally) and leaving our girls overnight for the first time! It's our 5 year wedding anniversary. :heart: I'm really excited but also a tad nervous.</p> <p>BIL and his gf will be picking the girls up from daycare tomorrow. We'll be leaving their car seats at daycare after dropping them off. They'll be staying at our house and we'll be back late Saturday afternoon.<br /> They're stopping by tonight for a bit so I can give them instructions, talk about the girls schedules and such. My 3 year old is easy. The baby is 11m and I'll be leaving bottles labeled for when to give to her. Her bedtime routine , god help them. :silly: And foods we haven't tried yet. pediatrician and pediatric urgent care information; just in case.</p> <p>Anything else that might be helpful for them? </p>
