10 Steps To Prepping Car For Baby

10 Steps To Prepare Car For Baby
1. Oil Change
One of the most basic, but one of the most neglected services, your oil change is important to keep your car running efficiently and staying in top shape. You can opt to do this yourself, or take it to a professional. I personally take my car to the dealer because I adore the staff there and they always send coupons! 

2. Tire Check
A service that is included in most oil change services is a tire check, this is critical, especially if you're going to be driving around a little. I always have them check for wear, tear or nails. I rotate regularly and purchase new tires when needed. 

3. Deep Clean Your Interior
Luckily I have a husband who LOVES washing cars, so our cars are always pretty sparkly. But a good deep clean, chemical free preferred, is important before bringing baby home. We cleaned ours top to bottom and gave it a thorough vacuum to prep for the car seat.

4. Tune Up
This can be scheduled during one of your routine oil changes, but its important to know what may need to be tuned up on your car. Squeaky belts? Loose brakes? All of this should be addressed before your baby's birth date. 

5. Registration 
This should go without saying, but important piece of information to make the list. Make sure your emissions, tags and registration are up to date. 

6. Easy DIY Upgrades
Items like faulty windshield wipers, adding air to your tires, or swapping out easy changes, like your cars engine air filter, can all be done at home to save you on labor costs. See how I easily swapped out my cars engine air filter in under five minutes. 

7. Mommy Car Care Kit
Aside from the diaper bag, I created a Mommy Car Care Kit. It's a small box in my trunk that includes a pair of flip flops if I need to pop on some comfy shoes, diaper wipes, a small pack of tissues, an extra changing pad, a few diapers, a hoodie for me, a hoodie for baby and a summer change of clothes for baby as well. Always better to have extra items on hand than not enough I always say. When our babes gets older, the kit reflect that. With non-perishable snacks, color books and a toy or two. 

8. Car Emergency Kit
Mr. Charming and I are big into kits, for home, work and car and our car emergency kit consists of items such as flashlights, emergency blankets, water, a few canned foods, a First Aid kit and boots/close toed shoes, as well as the necessities to jack up the car or change a tire. 

9. Window Covers
This one is optional, but where we live in Arizona, the summer gets extremely hot. Shaded window covers and a car seat cover are must haves to keep the baby's area cool when we are shopping or out of the car. 

10. Car Seat Installation
Once your car is clean and checked its time for the cherry on top, installing car seat for baby! We plan to visit our local Fire House to have them install our model for the first time. To be safe, we can see how to properly install our chosen car seat in our particular car model as they are all so different. 

Do you have any additional tips on getting your car ready for baby? I would love to know if I missed anything as we prep for Baby P this summer!

If the person will welcome an infant into his household soon, then he will want to ensure his car provides a safe, comfortable environment. For this, he needs to inspect the car before placing the baby inside. He has to buy the best car seat. In fact investing in a new, state of art baby car seat helps safeguard his infant. In addition to that he has to consider window tinting and also install the seat correctly to make the baby comfortable while sitting inside the car.

Before you import Japanese cars into your country, the first step to take is to locate a Japanese used car exporter or car buying agent. Without this vital step, you are preparing yourself for possible failure and financial losses.

If anyone wants to take a ride in his car with his baby, first he needs to make his car baby friendly. Because I feel that moving from one place to another with a baby is a little more serpentine than it was in our more individualistic periods. But just because a person has appended a new member to his family, that does not mean he is forced to buy a new vehicle right that moment. No, absolutely not. He can make his existing vehicle baby friendly simply by tracking the above smart hacks. Yes, apart from keeping mommy car care kit in the trunk, he needs to install the best baby car seat with the help of a professional in order to make his car rides with his tot safe and more pleasurable.

If anyone wants to drive his car with a baby then he must have to take necessary steps to make the car baby friendly. First we have to make the car seats suitable for the infants to seat. There are two such type of car seats- first one is typical rear facing infant car seats having removable bases and the second one is the convertible car seats that grow with the baby. Next we have to deck out the back row with baby gear. We should carry with us a mommy car care kit in which we have to keep a few diapers, some tissue papers, baby clothes, toys etc. In this way we can make the car comfortable for our baby.

When thinking about leasing a car, a lot of people ask themselves one question: should I lease, rent, or buy? Cars leasing is advantageous to drivers that prefer new vehicles, are unsure of their long-term vehicle needs, and/or do not want to deal with the hassle of selling their cars later on.

Have you ever went outside got in your vehicle and when you turn the key to start it up you just heard a clicking noise? Now you are already late for work, it's cold or raining outside, it's early in the morning, no one else is even awake yet.

Most BMW owners would prefer to maintain the interiors of their car as luxurious as affordable for them. It is a pride to own a BMW itself and hence they would not want to lose the pride by having a shabby or a old company made interior for many years. BMW has a great design and paints that can last long.

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
