We wanted them to be a backup pick up for daycare since I don't work locally and my DH has client meetings all day and is sometimes hard to get a hold of, it's been very convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents/page/2#post-2078094 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 07:36:35 +0000 yin 2078094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws bought one for their car.

My mom and dad are my before and aftercare, so they were necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2078020 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 01:33:43 +0000 tequiero21 2078020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: same here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2078018 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 01:27:28 +0000 ChelseaRose 2078018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. My mom drives my son four days a week and more often than my husband does. She has the second nicest car seat that we own (maxi cosi pria) because we wanted it to be safe, comfortable, and easy for her. We install and adjust the seat as needed. My son is about 28 months (and tall) and still happily rear facing in her car (as well as ours). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2078001 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:21:45 +0000 meganmp 2078001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077999 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:14:06 +0000 Sapphiresun 2077999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. My parents watch LO frequently so they have one, and DH's parents live on an island accessible by passenger ferry, so we bought one to leave there rather than having to carry ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077989 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:05:27 +0000 birdofafeather 2077989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have one that we bought because they bought us a nicer one. Makes it easy for us when we travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077907 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 22:39:56 +0000 Torchwood 2077907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they want one they can buy one. But only my mom will want one. MIL isn't allowed to drive with her (chain smoker, etc), FIL won't want to, and my dad and stepmom live so far away that they'd never need one of their own.</p> <p>ETA- we would consider buying one for my mom, since she is broke, but she's bought a crapload of stuff she doesn't need already for LO, so if she can buy that junk she can buy a car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077858 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 21:56:05 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2077858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents bought their own (they actually bought it before we ever even bought any baby stuff ourselves!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077307 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:04:07 +0000 kiddosc 2077307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought my parents one for when we traveled to visit them, it was easier than hauling one on the plane. Now that we live near them, they still have that one. My in-laws don't have any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077302 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:03:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2077302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. Had them shipped to their house before we visited because they had to pick us up from the airport. They wouldn't know anything about car seats anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077290 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:59:47 +0000 KT326 2077290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought one for my mom to use. Last time we left LO with them for the weekend we almost forgot to leave ours and had to drive back! I figured it would just be easier if they had there own. Since DS is almost 3 I bought a harnessed booster that can use the 5pt harness until 50lbs and then turn into a belt positioning booster after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077274 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:55:19 +0000 MK0180 2077274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents gifted us the infant carseat (with base included) and I borrowed another base from a friend. When we switched to convertible we bought one for their car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077235 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:35:12 +0000 MrsH 2077235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought one for my mom to use.

It is rarely used but my parents like to drive their car when they visit us so I didn't mind the purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077222 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:26:16 +0000 californiadreams 2077222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom bought one for herself as she drives my niece a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077211 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:20:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2077211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None of them have them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077207 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:18:14 +0000 Mrs. J 2077207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077198 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:14:16 +0000 dolphin 2077198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grandparents don't have a car seat but if they were to have one I would buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077186 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:07:51 +0000 blackbird 2077186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL did, actually, and we use that.

My ILs live locally but I can't imagine them babysitting or driving DS without us. My parents don't live near us and we always bring our car and/or a carseat with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-bought-the-car-seats-for-the-grandparents#post-2077152 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:57:47 +0000 avivoca 2077152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't have seats for her.

It has good safety ratings, so it's good enough for me for the few times they'll be using it! </p>
