OP: sorry if stupid, but you must get a car seat even if you don't have a car. just stick in the apt. somewhere & use for car rides, rentals, etc. right? [ Reply | More

most hospitals won't discharge you without a carseat. Even if walking home, you can use a infant seat-stroller combo. [ Reply | More

Everyone says this. Has anyone actually experienced it? A hospital can't tell you you can't leave... [ Reply | More

They try and tell you all sorts of things. Call your hospital in advance and fight this if you want. Don't wait until the last day. [ Reply | More

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting anyone fight this (your kid should be in a car seat) but I carried both my boys out in my arms. Nobody stopped me to check if I had a car seat. [ Reply | More

Do you strap the car seat into the taxi? Are taxi drivers patient enough for this? [ Reply | More

Our parents (db's grandparents) who live outside the city came for the birth. They bought a carseat for when we visit them and they picked us up from the hospital and drove us home. [ Reply | More

Dh walked home with dc in stroller. I caught a taxi. No need for carseat unless you are going in a car! [ Reply | More

But the car seat usually snaps into the stroller frame, for infants. [ Reply | More

Really? I rode home in the car, with dh driving, & every bump made me feel sore. I felt so out of it, my boobs were totally engorged, that the thought of doing all on a bus would have been impossible for me. [ Reply | More

I don't think there's a person here who loves hospitals. Plus, I forgot to add that I had to sit on a plastic donut in the car- I can only imagine how wonderful that would have been on a bus! [ Reply | More
