[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is odd. Are you sure when they told you to make a list, they meant items like that? I would never expect them to buy those.[/quote]

They bought a stroller, a crib, crib mattress, baby monitor, high chair. So yes, they meant items like these. [/quote]
WOW you entitled little brat, expecting grandparents to pay for all of that!! What is wrong with you???[/quote]

Unlikely. It’s really common and frankly weird IMO that grandparents are into building their own nursery. Some of them have nicer cribs and stuff in their houses than the adult children do in their houses. If OP’s parents are like this then it wouldn’t be weird to put car seats on the list. OP said she would have been fine buying them herself. The grandparents didn’t just not want to waste their money on car seats, they didn’t want OP to waste her money on car seats so they didn’t tell her. Grandparents who don’t use car seats are grandparents that never get to have the kids unsupervised.

It sucks to be at an airport without car seats. We would take ours on the plane but one of the bars needed to secure them in the car had to be checked. We forgot it at baggage claim and didn’t realize until the shuttle had dropped us off in the parking lot. The plane had been delayed, it was pre Uber times . DH want back on the next shuttle which we were shocked came because it was 2 am. I stayed in the cold dark parking lot with two little kids while he went back to get them. If he hadn’t found them, we would have gone back to the airport but it wouldn’t have occurred to me at 2 am that you could rent them. [/quote]
