Toy Mirrors
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to maintain a happy old 4mth while riding in a car seat?
I have toys hanging from the baby seat handle. I have one of those mirrors / LightUp toys. I've also started putting stuffed animals in front of her so she can talk to them. This is helping a bit. Is there anything else I can do?
Good advice so far:. Re infant seat handle to be forced to be down in the car, it is not true. Some are necessary, some not. Read the manual to be sure. Graco lets you keep if you wish. At least one infant seat actually requires you to stop lever up in the car. So recheck the manual! Only soft toys or mirrors in the car. A one-pound object becomes a 30 pound flying object in which a 30 hours miles an accident. If there is something that really would be okay to shoot the head, not put in the car. Some babies are very unhappy car drivers, no matter what. As a previous poster said, the angle may have much to do with it. If your baby has good head and neck control you can move him / her to a car seat convertible, still looking back, of course, and install it in an upright position is comfortable for your baby, but not more than about a 30 degree angle. Angle of 45 degrees is only required for children without good head control. Please do not think that revolve around 1 year old and 20 pounds of weight is the "cure" for this. My daughter became a pilot car much more unhappy when he was 13 months old and 25 pounds and I went forward. His legs hung on, putting tension in the back. When you look back you can rest your legs in the back seat, almost like a recliner. She also began getting dizzy. : O (Knowing what I know now, I have maintained a rear-facing for maximum car seat convertible, which was 35 pounds. All seats in the U.S. market later today to face at least 30 pounds, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended for 5 years to keep children look back at the ceilings of a convertible seat for optimum safety. Too bad many pediatricians do not keep up with policy statements their own agency, and still recommend the policy obsolete.

Toys and Games for Babies
In order to help your child progress, stories should be a part of every child’s evening pattern. TV or computer games before bed can be over-stimulating.
Musical mobiles add an extra listen-and-look dimension keeping your baby’s viewpoint in mind. If he or she is looking at the mobile from below, then the interesting features should be visible from that angle. Look for clear shapes, bright colours, bold patterns and light/dark contrasts.
Faces are a child’s favourite image, and their own will be an endless source of amusement. Hang a mirror near their head so the reflection changes when they move. Always use a safety mirror, which are specially designed for babies grips.
Wrist rattles: babies need to discover their hands because they use their fingers to explore the world. When they wave their arms around, the colour and the fun bell-like sounds will soon attract them.
Choose the noisiest, most colourful rattle you can find. They will respond better to primary colours than to pastels. A strong bell or rattle sound, activated by the slightest motion, is most likely to grab their attention.
Touchy-feelies: Collect a basketful of clean, safe materials from round the house, like cotton wool, a flannel, a piece of satin fabric, a paintbrush and a terry towel. Stroke your baby gently introducing them to a variety of sensations – soft, tickly, prickly, feathery and so on.
Balloons: Tie a colourful balloon securely to their cot or pram. Close enough for them to see it wafting in the air.
Crinkly paper: Put some crinkly paper in your baby’s cot, so it makes a scrunching noise when they move their arms and legs.
Give your child a good view of the world by carrying them so that they can see more. When safe, reach out and touch lots of interesting things – inside the home and out. Remember, just about everything is interesting to them. Noise, colour and textures of everyday things will stimulate their senses.
Hang toys at a distance where they can swipe at them, so they always have something interesting to look at. They’ll love to play simple games with you, like peek-a-boo (they’ll never tire of it because your face is so fascinating). Once they can sit up, roll them a soft ball and watch as they attempt to push it back to you. By six months give them a simple button to push or a string to pull that activates a toy.
Try not to leave your child unattended with smaller toys or toys that have attachable small parts. As children love to use their month to explore they will tend to eat or swallow things.
The trick is to plan activities that allow you to do something you enjoy, but that will keep them interested and happy as well. If you’re happy, your child will be too, and vice-versa. Now’s a good time to try some of your favourite pastimes, and adapt them to suit you both – biking through the countryside, walking round castles and gardens, or hanging out at the local pool.

What was the name of this flower-like toy?
I think it was from the 90′s. There were a variety of “flower pods” that, when you used the key, it would bloom open, revealing a tiny doll and her pet. It might have come with a mirror and brush as well.
I know it isn’t “Keypers” (that’s spelled right) that was with animals and keys, and they had a baby.
Actually, there were a series of ” flower dolls ”
the earliest from the 60′s …..

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
