    How about just holding em in your arms, that way maybe they won't grow up to, hate you/be miserable.


    Just a thought.

    @MadCrazy: Because according to the LAW here, any child under 50 pounds has to be restrained in a special car seat for their safety. If you hold a child and are in a forward impact crash your weight crushes the child. THATS why. Tard.

    @MadCrazy: You questioned "How about holding em in your arms...?" Curves responded "why" you shouldn't, which is how the normal question/answer routine goes.

    But she did leave out one fact. In a crash, the child's weight multiplies, so instead of a 25 lb infant, you are holding a 150lb infant who will hit the dashboard or seat in front of you within 1/10 of a second, so if you AREN'T bear hugging them at all times, you will have NO reaction time to try and hold onto them. Also, if your car has airbags, you have now smashed the child in between you and a explosively fired bag which can launch a 50 gallon drum in the air.


    But you are correct. If you hold your child, they won't get a chance TO grow up, so they can never be miserable or hate you.

    This will be perfect for little SteveDave. I just need to teach him to give the finger and use a Polaroid camera while I drive my pickup filled with JP-7 inverted.

    I hope there's no ejection mechanism to accidentally go off, causing your child to bang its head on the roof of your minivan.


    Next thing you know, Tom Cruise is getting all mopey and Tom Skerritt is boring you with tales of how brave your father was.


    Cue strains of electric guitar playing the lead from the score at half-tempo.

    The best baby seats (for infants under 30#) are the kind that the carrier part snaps in and out of the base unit which remains attached in the car. The kid is asleep and would have to be taken out of car seat and moved to carrier anyway so its a lot less hassle. And yes, no matter what kind it is, the kid will just yack up formula all over it (and everything else) anyway.

    @Curves: Bugaboo is perfect for that. Goes right on the stroller as well.

    Ok, that is kind of awesome looking, but not 4000 dollars and a kid awesome looking. That 4000 bucks would be better spent in a CD or something to help pay for the near-infinite college tuitions of the future.


    Also: Why does Gizmodo keep deleting the article about the iPhone's Sends pictures of your wang to hot co-workers "glitch"?
