Diono vs Britax - A Carseat Review

In case you missed it, we got in to a bit of a car wreck as few weeks ago. It was not bad and thankfully no one was injured (I've since seen a few wrecks and realize ours could have been a lot worse).

The insurance adjuster said to get new carseats - yep 4 new cars - and they had to be comparable in price to the ones we were replacing. We had a Britax Frontier, Britax Marathon, Diono Radian RXT, and a Baby Trend infant carrier/bucket. The Diono was M's Christmas present. I wanted to try it last year because the major selling feature aside from the safety is that you can fit 3 across a bench of seats - aka the third row of a van. I don't remember having any issues with it. I liked the fabric and the harness so I was ready to replace our Britax carseats with Dionos.

Why?

Ha! Well I've been asked by more than one person how we are going to fit 5 kids in carseats in the van. I look around and ask myself, where's the 5th kid? I suppose in the future, at some point, we w…

20 Pregnancy Questions Answered

In no particular order, here goes...

1. Q - From the nurse - was this pregnancy planned?
A - Seriously haven't we been through this enough to know that we happen to know what the deal is? Well, it was unplanned

2. Q - From the doctor, so, have you told anybody?
A - No. Dr - Chicken. Me - Yeah, I know but really I'm not ready for the questions and the commentary. (see question #1 as evidence; see next 18 question as further evidence)

3. Q - So are you getting a bigger van?
A - Hopefully not. YES. I had to edit that one. We were hoping to skate through one more baby before going to the MASSIVE van stage of our family life but I tried to put 2 Britax marathons and 1 Britax frontier in the third row (because 2 frontiers leaves about / / much space). Didn't work. Then I drove a third of E's class on a field trip and would you believe that even three backless boosters won't fit across the third row either?!?!?!?! So only way we could swing the mini is bebe, E an…

Five Kibbe Kids

Clare Cecilia was born on Saturday afternoon

She is being welcomed into the madness of the general goings on of the house. She has been sleeping well (so far) and eating well. The big kids are excited to have her but not quick to ask to hold her. Though they are very quick to let me know when she's crying (as if I cannot hear her : ) Prioritizing needs people!
A went from being small to being a giant (to me) overnight. I can barely pick him up and carrying around someone four times the size of the newest baby is crazy - so I don't unless its from the high chair to the sink to get his hands clean. I look at his fingers and last week I thought they were small and sweet and now they are massive and cute and chubby.
How she came and her name and all that fun stuff later.. Tomorrow? Who knows...
