[quote=Anonymous]I am one of those people who enjoys reading about car seats and safety research. I wouldn't say I'm glad I did it, though -- if anything it feeds my anxiety. Read your seat manual carefully and buckle your kid snugly, is probably all the advice most people need. I really find the parenting blogs and books so helpful, and wish I had read more and earlier. So much of pregnancy is spent thinking and talking about birth (and breastfeeding) not what comes after. Also, it's easy to think you'll be patient yet firm, and then in the moment it all flies out the window. For the kid I happen to have, Peaceful Parent / Happy Kid and the Highly Sensitive Child are both important resources ... though not sure I would have picked them before encountering trouble with more common recs like 1-2-3 Magic. I was oblivious to kids when growing up, and had no familiarity with any kind of childcare (despite siblings and babysitting). [/quote]
