I would assume your finances/assets would also go to whoever is caring for the kids? At the very least hopefully life insurance, I set mine so it could pay off the house + cover living expenses until my youngest is in school so whoever has them could take a break from working and care for them full time. You'd also want to check with them ahead of time to make sure they're okay with it before putting them on any paperwork.

We're thinking my inlaws > my parents > my brother and his fiance should be diverse enough? Or should one of them be outside the family? It seems like it'd be pretty difficult for something to take out all 8 of us but not the kids.

Anyone on here doing the baby led weening? My wife has been exploring food with our son for the last ~5 weeks. I don’t know the exact program but there’s an order to which foods to try etc.

So far he is big on texture. Usually you give him the mash food first, then the whole product. The only mashed thing he likes is potato, otherwise he doesn’t much like it. The whole foods that he can grab he definitely likes more. Roasted broccoli is his favourite.

Yup. You definitely need to have a serious talk with whomever you decide to have. It's the last thing you can try to control if the worst happens. If you don't make the decision, who will? Executor of the estate? Court? Who would raise your kid they way you would have wanted to? I think we've all known of families that fight over estates and kids etc. You want to make sure your kids are taken care of.

A cousin asked my wife and I to be guardians for their kids. I have 2 young kids. Cousin had more direct family(bros/sisters/parents) on both sides they could have used, but there's other family drama they didn't want to go through. Being a bit vague here, as I know if certain family members found out, they'd be pissed.

Yeah, We set it up before our first kid, but I think most/all? off the assets are in trust to the kids after all the normal estate stuff is handled. You definitely want to use a lawyer for this over a notary to make sure it works out the way you intend to. There's a lot we don't normally know, like the order of spouse/parent/sibling for POA if you want to change the order of who makes decisions for you.

We have my brother and wife's sister as joint/alternates. then inlaws/my parents. You do have to consider that your parents are likely to pre-decease you, and their age, physical, and mental health are a factor too. My kids are grade school aged, so you have to consider how long they'll be caring for the kids. Someone unrelated to you, is really dependant on how close you are with them.

If anyone is interested I created a playlist for some car seat testing. If anyone is looking to purchase a new vehicle and wants to see how a child seat fits. Got a few cars so far but will be adding every week.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...wNuk5yS25AzHrk

Some surprises the Rogue is massive for a "compact" SUV

While the Rav4 is quite a bit smaller

We upgraded to an X5 because the Clek Fnoof in rear facing mode is huge, and we wanted to be able to use the front passenger seat.

Q5 and X3 are too small

Yea, I can understand I recently got a Foonf just to test how well it fits and so far I put it in the A35, cx30 and Mazda 3 and it's pretty difficult to fit someone in front of it.

If you like the cleks, the fllo is slightly more compact I think. The curved back of it let it juuust fit in the center rear of the wife's rx350. But if you're taller than 5'8" it may not work. It'll definitely limit the front seat adjustment.

The lateral side to side clearance is great though. We have 2 fllos so with kids in right and centre seats, the left seat is usable for an adult passenger.

If you have grandparents that regularly drive the kids, buy extra carseats. They're a PITA to move and readjust all the time.

This is an excellent tip, I myself have a couple of extra car seats.

I have two Diono 3RXT seats and they're an absolute bitch to transfer between cars due to the steel frame construction.

My additional back up seats consist of an Evenflo and a mifold hifold.

I personally like the mifold hifold. It's super compact when it's folded and light too when moving it between multiple cars. Only down side is it's only good for short to moderate trips. My son seems to favor this seat more because he keeps referring to it as a transformer

I'm pretty sure the Flo and Foonf are the same when it comes to the shell. it's only the base that differs.

I think the base slides forward and back, and that added a bit of bulk? Anyways, tip for all the parents is to go to a baby store that lets you test fit the model seats in your car.

I have 6 fllos for 2 kids. 2 seats each in the 2 grandparents vehicles. They were ok with leaving them permanently in. The original idea was to have only 2 extra seats to swap between grandparents. Keeping the same brand was good, as the parents don't have to relearn the different seat operations.

Keep buying Clek, support Canadian brand!

But yea you're right, the Foonf's base can slide where as the Flo you just position the angle you need.

We have a clek and a nuna rava. Your infant and toddler will eventually puke and spill drinks into the car seat. The nuna rava is by far the easiest to remove the covering and can be thrown into the wash. Definitely consider a car seat that is easy to clean because the clek takes hours to remove the coverings because it's not one piece and also multiple tiny plastic crevices that puke chunks stick to.

I got both. Actually, Fnoof x2 and Flo x1. The Fnoof feels safer for rear facing mode because of the rebound bar. Either one, I hated swapping between cars so I just said fk it. Bought extra and resell it later.

What do you guys use to protect your seats? I got a couple of these mats but feel like they will break apart and leave a residual on the leather. Better than a towel for sure though.

We have a Mesa for infant seat. It was very easy to take out and threw it into the washer.

Clek’s fabric is waterproof. We usually just wipe down. *knock on wood no explosive poops yet*

We toss a disposable changing pad in the bottom of the car seat to protect against any blowouts. It saved us once on a road trip already.

Forgot to mention the Nuna Rava is one of the best for providing the most amount of leg space for the front passenger and also greater weight tolerance for your little one to be rear facing. You want your kid to be rear facing as long as possible for safety.

Not trying to say buy the Nuna Rava but it's worth the price if you can get a deal. Only one down side compared to the Clek is that it is a bit wider therefore not the best comfort if you have 3 passengers in the back for lengthy trips.

Yeah, i had to explain the rear facing thing to the grandparents. They keep wanting to swap the younger one to front facing. My 4 year old is still rear facing. The 6 year old threw a massive 2 hour fit when he was 26 months old one day out of the blue going into the car seat. He was rear facing at the time and never had an issue with it. He just wanted to see where we were going. Really screwed up my plans to keep him rear facing till at least 4.

How did I not know about this thread.....

The foonf is huge, and it surprisingly fits in my M3 backwards facing. I think the height and angle of the seats play a big part as well. Just don't try sitting in the front of the M3 if you taller than 6'.

^ Yea that's huge, some seats are flatter and some have more angle so it can vary the passenger comfort in front of the seat.

I'm VERY surprised it fits in an M3 though, 3-series rear seats are always crampt.
