Baby undoing infant seat!

JME Edith nak Spoken like a person who never parented an escape artist! It's amazing the things kids figure out they can do without anyone showing them first. My daughter started getting out of any sort of restraints at an astonishingly young age. She had NEVER been in the car without being bucked in, had never been in her stroller without the buckle, etc. -- but she managed to figure out how to get out of them, anyway. She hated (still hates) being restrained in any way, and started getting out of them quite young. I think she was well into her teens before she stopped fighting the car seat belt! Some kids are just more difficult in this regard than others. I, too, have kids who wouldn't think of being in a car without being strapped in -- then there's DD#2 . . . meh -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

Probably because the baby is, well, the baby, and when babies are growing they figure out how to do things whether or not you've told them they can. As far as knowing that they CAN do it, when Mom and Dad put baby in and take baby out of the car seat all the time, so s/he knows it can be done and is mimicking the behavior.

Edith Allowed? An eight-month-old is supposed to know what's *allowed*? At that age, they have habits, but they don't have consciences. So, many babies will never think to take their seatbelts off, but it's not because they're thinking, "Oh, Mommy doesn't like me to do that, she tells me not to, I'd better not." --Helen |
