    Diaper Genie for the win!

    Also, a car seat that latches into its base (base stays in car). So much better than one you have to strap in/out of the car all the time.

      My family called those pumpkin seats. I had a friend who left their kid in that seat too often and it ended up with a flat head. The kid needed a helmet. Poor guy was never the brightest.

        Sorry to hear that, but I don’t see how that could be the cause (unless they were leaving them in it for a week at a time).

          The baby was only ever in the crib or the seat. It was a bit too late, but they started paying more attention once social services was involved. Definitely a middle child problem.

          I think he’s doing better now, but he’s practically an adult.
