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…

7QTs - All about Baby C

Linking up with Kelly and co ---1---

Clare Cecilia was born on Saturday afternoon after what seemed like a never ending start to the labor process. We got to the hospital at 5:45 - 5:30 was just way too early. They got all my info and pitocin was started at 7. The hospital policy is to not allow moms to walk when on pitocin because they have to be hooked up to the fetal heart rate monitor. Okay fine. So until my doctor broke my water at 10:30 or so I did get a few hours of standing up by the monitor time because those hospital beds are for the birds.
Anyways so it seemed as if zero was happening and at noon at 4. I was pretty sure that I was going to have to have c-section because this was going no where and it was taking forever. I really thought I'd be snuggling a baby by lunch. So 1:30 rolls around and contractions are getting stronger so I hit the Stadol please button - even though I was really hoping to not go that route.
Then of course things get a little hazy because well,…

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...
