I am delivering in COnreel-NY Presb and can walk home from the hospital I live so close. Do I have to leave the hospital with the baby in a car seat and in a car, or can I just take her home in the stroller? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

We walked home with our baby in the stroller from there. You only need a car seat if you are going in the car. Well my husband pushed the stroller and I went in a taxi as I wasn't up to walking. [ Reply | More ]

that whole "you need a carseat thing" is all baloney. i didn't have a carseat to go home with db. actually, i had one and it was broken. i asked at the hospital if they could help me and they wree just like "go home. you've been discharged". we drove home with db not strapped in. i cried the whole time. but anyway, my point is the hospital doesn't care how you leave.

You are buying a carseat though, right? If it rains, you will be bumming pushing the stroller and hauling your stuff unless you're literally a block away. Obviously you will also want the carseat for other stuff. I understand not buying a convertible seat if you don't have a car, but everyone needs an infant seat. [ Reply | More ]

i just delivered there a month ago and contemplated walking home (live on 64th adn 3rd). 1. it rained that day and 2. there is no way i could have walked that far 2 days after my vaginal birth. I probably would have passed out after 2 blocks. Just keep in mind that you may not want to walk! [ Reply | More ]
