Car seat rear facing for tall toddler

My toddler is about 85cm tall. Him rear-facing in the car just doesn’t seem comfortable, and what baffles me is that his seat is suitable till 4. How? Safety is always a priority but how are other kids seated? Since he was 1, I’ve had to lift his feet and legs to turn him. We have the Joie 360 spin.

Baby Bjorn Positioning

Is this right for a newborn in the Baby Bjorn carrier? Baby seemed very happy in there lots of space to breathe clearly and neck/head supported. Also able to kiss top of head. She is small but is at the minimum weight for the carrier

What lotion/daily moisturizer do you recommend for baby’s face?

My baby girl is almost 5 months old and her cheeks get a little dry and red I think from all the drooling during the day. Do you have a favorite baby lotion you use on baby’s face to recommend? I used Aquaphor advance therapy ointment but it feels oily and I’m not sure it really helps. Thank you 😊

🧸Do you tape your baby's belly button down?🧸

It's a tradition in my family, we wrap a quarter and tape it down on the belly button. I'm doing this with my 2-month-old. 👶🏻

Anyone else use cot sheets to take washing up and downstairs? 😂😂

Apparently I’m weird but I’ll empty my daughters washing basket into the cot and use the dirty sheet as a basket to take it downstairs 😂 and I throw the clean washing in the sheet to take them upstairs

Eating on the Floor

Do any of you guys find your LO eats better when sitting on the floor? My LO doesn't eat much when she is in the high chair but will eat really well if she's sitting on the floor. Should I consider getting a new high chair? One with better foot support?
