Two questions? 1. about my graco car seat and my toddler playing w/ his poop?
I have this new seat for my 6 month old and we going to start using it. I love that it has the full body pad and it says you can use that for when the baby is using the first two harness slots.
My question is. DO you really have to use the full body pad at all? Bc my son gets insanely hot/sweaty already and with that in there..he would roast. Just as long as the straps still go at or below the shoulders and the chest clip is armpit level? Bc I see no where in the instructions that it says YOU HAVE to use it. Would this still be safe? If he was in there for long trips of course I would put it back. But he usually isn’t in there much more than few minutes.
Is it a normal thing for toddler to dig in there diapers? I mean to scratch of course but my son always finds it amusing to dig when he poops. I try and always change him when I noticed he’s went but I was outside for few minutes and came back in and yells "ahh mama! my fingers..my fingers ewww!" It ends up in 30 min of cleaning of his chair,toys and himself lol. Btw he will be 2 on the 31st if that matters
the car seat is a new graco my ride 65 ..

nope almost every kid goes through that stage but 2 is a little old for doing that
I have the same seat. From our instructions, it says you don’t have to use the pad, and we never did.
It’s mostly meant for when they’re very small.
As for the poop, yeah it’s normal. They’re curious as to what’s in there, they’re curious as to the feeling, it’s uncomfortable, etc. But, my daughter we grossed out, and she got a full shower each time. After about 3-4 times, she decided it was completely disgusting and never did it again. Compare this to my husband who’s mom tells of him ‘coloring’ the walls…
