"Hi I'm Liz Hood on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to be going over some of the supplies you are going to be needing to transport your little new born around. Now the first thing and the most important thing for you to have is a infant car seat. Now you absolutely must have a rear facing infant car seat that is angled back about forty five degrees. It would specify that on the box. They will not let you leave the hospital if you do not have a car seat installed in the car. So this is a up most important. If you want to bring your baby home you have to have one of these. These are just little toys that we put on there for Aiden not get to quiet bored riding in long trips. This car seat comes with a little base and one thing is that you should go ahead and do is get two bases if you have two cars and use them a lot, it is just a lot easier to install one base into each car so you don't have to miss with that every single time you use a different car. So there is that. And this car seat actually came as part of a travel system so it has a matching stroller that the car seat actually fits into. So that was a really really convenient the first couple of weeks when we take Aiden some where and walking around to not even just disturb him and just set him into the stroller without missing with his buckles or anything. He just sleep right through most things. So it was that made it very easy to take him around in different places. Another thing is that is extremely helpful especially the first couple of months is to have a little snuggly. On this one is made by Babybjorn adjusting and putting on take a little of practice so you might want to go on and test it out before you try to put your baby in it. Now I have got to the point where I can put him in it as I'm adjusting it without any help from anybody else. But it did take some practice so and then this happens to have a little extra loop to close up the side for a little bit more a newborn. This thing you have up when you have a newborn and then you know you have a newborn facing you and as they grow a little bit you flip this down and have them facing out. So that is a little more entertaining for a baby but they also have many different other types of available that are more like little slings that fit across you like this and just kind of keeps them cradle in front of you those are good to.
