Baby Car Seat Facts

A GRUELING DAY AT THE OFFICE AND I’M GLAD IT’S OVER. Now I can go home and relax. Which means I am commuting via the metro subways to reach our place. Luckily, the commuters are quite few so there are plenty of seats available in the train. I seated myself and my mind started to wander while the train started it’s journey. When we stopped the next train station, a lady boarded and seated beside me. She started reading some free baby magazines she got from her bag. I distinguished the free baby magazines immediately. I always see it near the fast food outlet where I often eat. My wife is pregnant and I wanted to get one myself. My wife knows a lot about babies, she doesn’t need it anymore. What more can she learn from it. It occurred to me that she doesn’t need it, so why bother.

Since she’s just beside me, I could not resist reading along. Interesting stories about baby care are featured in the free baby magazines. The lady was so engrossed in reading a column written by a pediatrician. The doctor was discussing the importance of vaccine shots for babies. “Mmmm, I didn’t know about this, either”, I said to myself as I read the column. I’m betting nobody knows much about this cause nobody have mentioned this to me before. The woman leafed the page of the **free baby magazines** to the baby tips page. This time around, the column is written by another doctor. The doctor is encouraging healthy  food habits for our babies. “Great stuffs, very, very good”, I said to myself as I continued my reading. I was shaking my head cause I am wondering why most of what is written there is alien to me. I really expected that since I am a father of three, I know a lot about baby care already. I know now that there is a lot we don’t know about baby care. The free baby magazines is telling us all that plus many, many more. The lady turned the page to a different section. A lot of free baby items and giveaways are listed in the free baby magazines. “And I bought one exactly like this”, I procastinated as I came upon the free item listing.

The woman seems to arrive at her stop and prepared to leave. She handed me the free baby magazines and smiled. “I believe you like this”, she said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have extras. “Thank you!” I called after her.
