Convertible Car Seat V. Booster Seat

UPDATED: I'm trying to decide between a rear-facing/front facing convertible car seat and a front-facing/booster seat (Britax Frontier 85) for when my son is 2 and front facing. I know that booster seats are generally less safe than teh convertible car seats but I thought that was b/c of the lack of a 5 point harness. Britax Frontier HAS a 5 point harness so I'm wondering if its stil less safe than the convertible car seat or if they are now equally safe... What are the advantages/disadvantages of booster v. convertible car seat? Does...

Thermometer Recommendations for 11 Month Year Old

I currently have a safety 1st accu-touch forehead thermometer. My doctor's office tested it for me when I took my daughter in for an ear infection a couple of months ago and it tested okay at the time. However, tonight I took her temperature about 5 times with it and the readings ranged from 101.2 to 97.0. I don't trust it and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and has any suggestions for a better thermometer that actually works.

He'll rip all the DVDs off my shelf, as I'm cleaning them up, he runs to the kitchen and take out the pots and pans the cleaning supplies (swifter pads and sponges no chemicals).

Booster Seat for Feeding

Hi Moms - My daughter has started solids, and we've been feeding her while she is in her Bumbo. That's working for now, but I know soon I'll need a better solution. We live in a small condo so I was thinking about getting a booster to put on one of our dining chairs, instead of a high chair. I was looking at The First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Feeding Seat, but I know Safety 1st also makes a bunch. Any recommendations on there on either of these? Or any other ones? Thanks!
