Baby Seats and Boats
Well...not sure if anyone has any tips on this one. I'll be a father shortly
and I'm looking to buy a good baby seat that will also function on the boat. Anyone have any tips or are they all essentially workable on board? Thanks, RB |

What's this world coming to, he's reproducing, we can only hope the babies
got the mothers genes. Well...not sure if anyone has any tips on this one. I'll be a father shortly and I'm looking to buy a good baby seat that will also function on the boat. Anyone have any tips or are they all essentially workable on board? Thanks, RB |

Do you really want the baby affixed to the boat when it begins to sink? Let mom hold the kid in the cabin until he/she's able to wear a life jacket and occupy a seat in the cockpit. Max |

I wouldn't bother with a baby seat. If something happened, you wouldn't
have time to get the baby out of the thing. Most people I know put crib bumers up in their v-berths and use one of those expandable child gates across the front. You will want to make sure there is enough padding around the baby so it doesn't get rolled around...if you didn't want to do that, you could do the same thing inly in the quarter berth or aft cabin area...the idea of a child in a carseat going overboard and sinking to the bottom is just way too vivid for me.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

You'll find its tedious to properly install a babyseat in the car - get a second
one for the boat. Since the demand on the boat is much less, you could get an older one at a yard sale for virtually nothing. Hopefully your new dodger gives sufficient cover; lash the seat against the bulkhead. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Well...not sure if anyone has any tips on this one.

Our Nonsuch had a "Pullman" style bunk forward, so we installed a swinging
"kiddy" door across it. Filled with teddy bears, it was a great crib/playpen. Mommy and Daddy, however, had to sleep on the drop down saloon table. This could explain why our next boat had *lots* of elbow room. "Seahag" wrote in message ... We knew some cruisers from France who netted off the v-berth, made a great play pen.

Amen. We used a lee cloth plus pillows stuffed into the ends and sides to form a safe haven for my grandson as a newborn. As a one-year-old we simply held him, wearing his life jacket. As a two-year old he is restrained by a quick-releasing Wichard hook on a short lanyard attached to a point in the cockpit and his Type 1 PFD. Max |

Anyone have any tips or are they all essentially workable on board? You don't need any tips. Believe it, or not, - you *will* know what to do. Nature seems to work that way. My two kids have been on boats since they were six months old. We didn't need any advice, and you won't either. Once the baby arrives, you will know how to look after it. Regards Donal -- |

"By example, the orphan grows to become an ideal parent; this through idealic desire alone." Katy, once again you show yourself to be stunningly ignorant. I pity your children. RB |

I was referring to "protecting" - which
is quite different. Nah...I've seen plenty of folks sacrifice their children to various different dangers....I don't think protectivism is innate either.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
