C Is For Cherishing Cars
Much to mama's chagrin, c is not for cocktails. Well, at least when it comes to nursery decor, and anyone who thinks otherwise might want to read Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay. Much like the non-drinking transition during pregnancy, switching from butterflies to cars requires a shift in gears.
Toy Box: Automoblox
Encouraging your lil wrecking crew to have at a brand new toy may sound like a recipe for disaster, but that's just what the team behind Automoblox had in mind when they developed their line of vehicles.

In making our plans for the trip, we discussed meeting up at a central location, and our friend said the best way to get there was via taxi.

Have You Driven Without Your Child Secured in a Car Seat?
The ladies on The View were pretty upset when a recent episode of The Bachelor featured a young child riding in a limo without a car seat.

Whether it was an emergency situation or a conscious choice, have you ever driven with your child not secured in a car seat?
Mommy Dearest: Do I Tip the Officer Who Installs Our Car Seat?
Mommy Dearest,
This weekend, I am having my baby-to-be's car seat installed by a police officer. Once the task is completed, should I tip him? I feel awkward not offering something for the service.
