er....I'll pass on the details if you don't mind, MayB, but I am astounded at your friend having to produce a receipt. I would have thought she would have to produce the seat itself.

It's amazing how people used to get babies home before all these regulations. My friend stunned me the other day when she told me that she had produce a receipt of purchase to show that she had bought the correct car seat, otherwise she won't be able to take her baby home.
I have passed on my stuff to her. Do you want me to describe it to you in great detail?

I did handle it very well, renigade. My cowardice gene kicked in and I ran for my life.

Sorry...We do get a bit carried away when discussing babies. It's in our
nature, I'm afraid! Sounds like you handled it very well, though.

We were not sure if the lock was to prevent the baby falling in to the toilet and drowning or to prevent the mother from drowning the baby.

roflmao, john...
you poor thing. It's okay, I am a woman and I don't want to know the gory details of anyone else's birth experience. Quite frankly I could have done without quite a bit of my own, thank you very much.
Also, quick question: The toilet locks, are they for keeping in or for keeping out?

BAsed on first hand experieince,
if your baby is under five pounds (Rachel was four and change) they will have the baby stay in the car seat for an hour, with an oxygen monitor on, to make sure she can breath fine in the seat, before you can take them home.
It was the longest hour of my whole life.

Believe me I was, word. At first I didn't know what was being described when the mother held up her thumb and forefinger. By the time I realised, and all the others were doing the same thing, I was beet red - and running for my life.

Oh my gosh!
You must have been quite horrified. 
I can almost see the scene. I'ts amazing to me that a 3 pound baby is allowed to go home. Sounds risky. We don't have laws to govern newborns leaving the hospital, however, children are supposed to be anchored by carseats.

Thank's Gypsy. Men never have conversations about sizes as we are all so well endowed. When you see the teenagers with their pants around their knees it means they are awesomely endowed.

John ...
Nothing like women discussing sizes to get a man to go find something else to do LOL. Congrats on the expected arrival of another grand baby!
