This car seat has been great. AND it goes up to 65lbs

This swing/rocker combo helped me get things done around the house. I wouldn't have gotten anything done otherwise! THE SEAT SPINS TO SWING SIDE TO SIDE OR FRONT TO BACK. THERE'S A VIBRATION SETTING TOO

Yes, a million times yes! When your baby/child is sick and only wants something cold, you can squirt a fruit and veggie pouch or yogurt inside. This was a HUGE lifesaver during sickness and teething!

If you've ever trimmed baby nails, it's terrifying. I've accidentally clipped some skin before, and you feel horrible. This is soooo much easier
