What Is The Best Type of Car Seat To Buy?

Wondering what type of baby car seat you should buy? Well, there are several types being sold out there, and it may be a little overwhelming for you to decide on what exactly to go for. There are a few things which you will actually need to look out for before such a purchase: the age of your baby and how long you plan on using it. So, if you are busy searching for a baby seat without knowing…

YOU au Hanma shuji x reader

“Hanma can you open the door for me please” a voice echoed through his head. It sounded like a soft melody in the distance. Something far off that he couldn't quite reach, so close yet so far.

“Hanma help me please. I'm holding the baby, I can't do both at once” your voice whispered from behind the door. Rocking the infant back and forth.

“Hanma help me please im holding the body, I cant do both at once” you had said simultaneously. While both versions of you holding a body and a child flew through his head. But it finally landed on just one. One that he had not expected.

“Hanma, are you deaf or something get the door Im holding the damn baby” you finally snapped at him. Knocking the man out of his state of unawareness. His thoughts still circling through his head, mixed between last night and now.

“Okay, okay stop your bitching. I'm coming woman.” hanma growled as he walked over towards the big white door that he hated. In the big fucking window like house that he hated even more, in the quietest most boring neighborhood in the whole city that he hated more than that. Hamna hated everything about his new life with you. From the supermarket that didn't sell the type of coffee that he liked, down to the dumb neighbors who would always comment. when they heard you two even seem to be rasing your voices at each other. But like the good loving husband he was he would just put up with it. No matter what the draw back was and you were one of those. You were a draw back, everything that you did was a draw back. When he opened the white door he didn't just open it for you and your child he opened it for himself too. So that he could see the outside world far away from his trapped life. In a home that he hated, in the one part of town that he hated even more. And yes finally surrounded by people that he hated the most.

“Hanma hurry grab her feet” you screamed with the voice of a whisper more afraid of waking the baby then getting caught with a body. You were and still are a draw back, and it always came down to situations like this. When you go off the rails and do stupid things, going off a very small claim that he had cheated on you. With the mail woman of all people. Cliche much one would think but you though it was very much real.

“Im grabbing her legs but could you be more quieter” hanma had yelled back at you with his brows furrowed very hard. Showing the sweat that was gliding off of his almost pail face. Everything could end here and now just by one person spotting them. One person waking up at fucking 2:20 in the morning. To see the atrocity you both have now committed.

He took over now at this point, Hanma was no stranger to violence. No stranger to hiding bodies and covering up crimes. You had married a criminal after all. But you were inexperienced, so bad that the action that was committed a mere few hours ago. Had already incriminated you both, even If you hadn't gotten caught yet. The woman fell limply into the back of the car as hanma tried to slam the trunk as quietly as possible.

He paid no care to the fact that his wife was running back into the house. Grabbing his son and a fully packed diaper bag. Jumping into the front seat of the car as he did the same. A small infant in the back sleeping only a seat away from his mother's crime.

"you just had to bring the baby." He muttered putting the car in reverse.

"what were we supposed to do huh? leave him there?" She retorted back. Watching said boy from the review mirror asleep. As he drove off twords a string of new houses being built at the opposite end of the culdesac. Down as far as the street reached. Settling on a newly dug up foundation that was set to have cement poured that next morning.

Hanma got out of the car now being able to take out his frustrations loudly. Slamming the car door as it echoed off the vancent houses. Reaching around the back to open the truck of his obnoxiously large soccer mom car.

What had you done to him truly. What had you done to his life. Hanma shuji had run from his original crimes for as long as he could. Deciding that he would never senselessly kill again unless he had to. And now you had broken his own personal rule. Throwing the man straight into yet another crime.

What did you do to me?

IT’S MILLER’S TIME

The bestselling author of the hit YA series ‘The Pepperwood Chronicles’ opens up about seeing his work adapted for television, his new novel, and becoming a father.

LOS ANGELES - The lunchtime crowd at Gogo’s Tacos in Silver Lake is more plentiful and aggressive than the colleague who recommended the spot for my interview with Nick Miller led me to believe it would be on a weekday, which means I spend the twenty minutes between when I show up (ten minutes early) and when he arrives (ten minutes late and convincingly apologetic about it) fighting off other patrons who are convinced I’m lying about expecting someone and want to steal his seat. His appearance in the busy restaurant is welcome for more reasons than one.

We’re here to discuss the new Netflix adaptation of his bestselling book series, The Pepperwood Chronicles, into a television series. The first season, which drops this Friday on the streaming platform, takes on the Herculean task of adapting the first book in the series (clocking in at 628 pages) into just eight episodes of television. It’s a highly anticipated project for the army of Pepperheads out there, who want to see if Sebastian Stan truly has what it takes to embody the titular grizzled New Orleans detective from Miller’s beloved novels, but it’s not the only project that’s been occupying Miller’s time lately. He’s also got his debut novel for the adult market, the stylishly-titled HoBo, which draws heavily on his childhood in Chicago, coming out in November. But the project he’s most anxious to brag about is one he had—by his own admission—very little to do with, aside from the original idea. The lion’s share of the credit belongs to his wife.

“This is Reggie,” he says, stretching his phone across the table proudly, swiping through dozens of photos of a pleasantly chunky infant in a Chicago Bears onesie. “Oh, and that’s Mario,” he says, when we get to a photo of a dog sniffing the same baby, asleep in a car seat and wearing a hooded jacket with bear ears.

“I know he looks like a funky little alien right now, but my wife says that most babies get really cute around the six month mark,” Miller says, after suddenly remembering that he has tacos he could be eating. He takes an enormous bite of one before making a face. “God, don’t print that. My son is already adorable. I love him.”

We debate whether or not I can actually print that comment (guess who won) for a few minutes before Miller finally allows us to move on. I ask, given his penchant for drawing details from his own life to use in his novels, if this recent development for him means we can expect the next Pepperwood installment to find Julius Pepperwood and his leading lady, Jessica Knight, contemplating parenthood. 

“I don’t know about that,” Miller says, with his mouth full. “It’s not that one-to-one for me. Yes, Pepperwood is based on me in some ways, but in many other ways he isn’t, you know? Same goes for Jessica Knight. She’s based on my wife, definitely, but I’ve never felt constricted by that. I’ve always felt like the characters follow their own path, though they take inspiration from my real life.”

In this answer, Miller has given me both an articulate response and neatly sidestepped giving any confirmation of further Pepperwood installments, which forces me to ask the question directly. His face goes blank for a moment afterwards, and he spends a while chewing before he attempts to answer.

“I’m not saying no,” he finally replies, wiping his hands on a napkin, while looking thoughtfully into the distance. “But I’m also not saying yes. There have been people—and my wife tells me not to read the reviews or the comments, but sometimes, you know, shit happens and you see some stuff—there’s people who think Pepperwood is too happy now. They liked him when he was tortured. Now, he’s got the love of his life by his side, he solved his brother’s murder, he made peace with his father. It’s like, where’s the tension anymore? But at the same time, I don’t want to make him miserable again just to sell more books.”

Miller talks about Pepperwood (and Knight and all of his characters) like they’re real people, a fact he shrugs off when I point it out.

“Of course,” he says. “Of course they’re real to me. It’s important to remember that they’ve been with the readers for six books now, but they’ve been with me for longer than that. And they don’t leave me alone when the book is done, either, like they do for my readers.”

They don’t seem to leave his readers alone after the last page, actually, if the healthy fandom producing fanart and fanfiction online are any indication. Miller, of course, has thoughts.

“I’m pleased about it,” he says, with his usual Chicago-born nonchalance. “It’s always made me happy that my work resonates with people, especially young people. I didn’t see that coming, in the beginning. It wasn’t supposed to be a YA series.”

The origins of The Pepperwood Chronicles are the publishing world’s version of a Cinderella story. Miller initially published the first book in the series himself at the encouragement of his friends, hawking the hand bound (!) copies at local bookstores with the encouragement of his then-girlfriend, as well as his future wife (“Two different women,” he clarifies. “It’s a long story.”) The hefty novel all about the seedy underbelly of New Orleans very quickly found a devoted fan base amongst a surprising audience: teenage girls. Where other authors might have bristled, Miller instead took his unexpected champions in stride.

“Like, there was definitely some initial shock to get over,” he explains. “If I’d known I was writing to teenagers specifically, I would have cut, well, a few things from that manuscript.” He’s referring delicately to some pretty explicit sex scenes and graphic violence, which definitely get toned down in later installments of the series. Confronted with this, Miller shrugs and says only, “That’s show biz!”

Speaking of show biz, how does he feel about the Netflix adaptation of his work?

“It was really interesting,” he offers, thoughtfully. “I’m grateful they didn’t ask me to write it, because it turns out I’m a terrible screenwriter.” Before I can ask him to elaborate on that, he continues, “But the team really did check in with me a lot and they made sure the tone felt right, and the changes they had to make worked with my understanding of the world and the characters. I felt like they really respected Pepperwood, which obviously means a lot to me.”

Miller is being generous, of course, considering he and his wife are both executive producers on the series. When I mention this, however, he waves it off. “They still could have told me to fuck off with my opinions,” he says.

As for working with his wife in that capacity, he’s more than happy to sing her praises. “She’s great. Aside from myself, she’s the person I trust most to get Pepperwood, you know? Like my editors and my agent and everybody, they’re amazing, but if I’m really stuck, Jess is the one I can turn to and be like ‘does this work? Or does it suck?’ And she’ll tell me. She’s always been that person for me. She’s the first person I shared the first draft of the first book with, so her input is invaluable. Or is it valuable?”

“They mean the same thing,” I tell him.

“That’s stupid,” he replies. “I mean, I’m not calling you stupid. The English language is stupid sometimes. My wife’s input is very important to me, is what I’m saying. Her instincts are spot on.”

And they should be, after all. When she’s not producing the Pepperwood TV series with her husband, Jessica Day (yes, you’re reading that right. Miller’s wife and the inspiration for his character Jessica Knight is named Jessica Day. Check the dedication on the first Pepperwood novel if you don’t believe me) works for Scholastic, as a part of their team that handles community outreach to K-12 schools across the country. (Miller’s publishing deal is with an imprint of Simon & Schuster, in case anyone is worried about favoritism.) Before that, she worked briefly in the nonprofit industry and as a middle school teacher and later vice principal. 

“She understands the demographic perfectly,” Miller summarizes, fifteen minutes into an endearing monologue about how great his wife is. “I think the writers for the TV show liked having her around even more than having me. She really knows her stuff.”

When I follow up a few days later with Ms. Day for comment, her husband’s remarks amuse but don’t surprise her. “He’s always giving me too much credit,” she says, humbly.

Does it weird her out at all, to have so many people so intensely invested in the fictionalized version of her love life?

“It’s funny. I know the names are really similar and obviously Nick borrows things here and there from our real life,” she says, “but I really don’t feel like Jessica Knight is me. So I don’t take it personally at all.”

This isn’t the first time this attitude has come up in interviews. Last year, when casting was announced for the Netflix series, Day made headlines for defending the production’s decision to cast British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Jessica Knight after many fans claimed she didn’t match Knight’s description in the books.

“Gugu’s a very talented actress. I’ve seen her screen tests and she will blow you away when you see the show, I promise!” Day took to Twitter to say at the time.

“She capture [sic] JK’s energy perfectly,” she added in a further tweet. “Please welcome her to the Pepperwood family as we have!”

Now, Day is less diplomatic in her response. “It was a small portion of fans who were upset,” she says, “but they were the loudest contingency. It was very upsetting, and honestly tacky. So what if she doesn’t look like me? The character isn’t me, first of all. And the books are set in New Orleans, for God’s sake! It would be stupid if the entire main cast was white people.”

When I accuse her of saying the quiet part loud, as the kids say, Day seems nonplussed. “It’s those new mom hormones, I guess,” she replies, as a baby cries in the background of the phone call as if on cue. “I just don’t give a fu…dge.”

Miller, during our interview, feels similarly. “The team went with the best people for the parts, and we made it clear, my wife and I, that they absolutely weren’t trying to cast our doppelgängers. That wasn’t the point. Honestly, it would have freaked me out if they had.”

So he doesn’t think he and Stan look alike? 

“No, not at all,” he says, automatically. “Do you?”

“He kind of seems like a more Hollywood version of you, yeah.”

Miller takes a long time thinking this over. “That’s…huh…”

In order to distract him from the existential spiral I’ve inadvertently led him down, I switch us over to the topic of his new book, HoBo. It’s made several lists of most anticipated books for this fall (including this publication’s) but there was a while there where Miller feared the manuscript would never see the light of day. 

“The publisher thought it was too dark for the teen market,” he says, without any of the smarmy pride one would expect from the average male author accused of being ‘too dark’ by The Man. “I had no idea! I thought Pepperwood was too dark for teens and they loved it! So, there was a bit there when I was like, ‘okay, so this is the end, I guess.’”

Miller isn’t being melodramatic either. There was a moment, according to him and confirmed by his editor, Merle Streep, where they considered parting ways. Luckily, they came to an understanding once the dust settled and Miller pitched the novel, then titled “Chicago Hobo”, for the adult market. The source of this brilliant solution? You guessed it: Jessica Day.

“My wife’s a genius,” Miller states. “It was so simple and yet none of us could see it. Of course they should market the book to adults, if they thought it was too gritty for teens. Obviously.”

Day, however, downplays her contribution. “The issue with the manuscript came to a head on our wedding day, if you can believe it. On our honeymoon, it was all Nick could talk about. He was worried he’d never publish another book again. I suggested he send the manuscript around to other publishers to see if there was interest, but pitch it as, you know, a book for grownups. I thought it would make him feel better. I had no idea that the minute he did that, his original publisher would come back to him with a deal.”

But that’s exactly what they did. He’s also on the hook for three more books after that, though he’s cagey with details about if those will be HoBo sequels, further Pepperwood adventures, or something else entirely.

“We’re in a really pivotal moment,” Miller says, looking a little bit sweaty as he admits it. “We’ll see how Pepperwood does as a TV show, we’ll see how people feel about HoBo when it comes out.” He pauses to laugh. “We’ll see if being a father completely fries my brain and I never write another coherent sentence ever again.”

Early reviews and chatter are saying that the new novel is every bit as cinematic as The Pepperwood Chronicles, which suggests a screen adaptation is more a matter of “when” than “if.” It is, by Miller’s own admission, even more autobiographical than Pepperwood (the preteen narrator is Travis Tiller, called “Trick” by his friends, so do with that what you will). It’s based, in many ways, on his childhood in Chicago, but it’s also equal parts dystopian speculative fiction and superhero origin story, with a heavy pour of magical realism to wash it down. The cinematic universe practically writes itself.

“We just don’t know,” Miller replies vaguely. No matter what I do, I can’t get him to speculate on bringing this book to the small or big screen. “I don’t want to jinx anything,” he adds, frantically, after many such questions.

Fine. But, as pure speculation, what actor does he think, potentially, has what it takes to bring the eponymous hobo to life on screen?

“Rock Hudson,” he says, after much bullying.

When I inform him that Rock Hudson is dead and has been for more than 30 years, Miller looks crestfallen. What about preteen Trick Tiller, then? Is there anyone Miller would entrust to play his younger self?

“Cate Blanchett,” he replies.

When I point out that she’s both older than him and a different gender, he frowns. “She played Bob Dylan, though,” he counters, confused. I concede that he’s got me there.

We return to the much safer topic of conversation that is the current adaptation of one of his novels. What’s he most looking forward to now that the show is finally premiering?

“Getting to go on a date with my wife,” he says, sincerely, with the dead-eyed stare of a sleep-deprived new parent. “Seriously. We’re getting a sitter to watch the baby, we’re bringing a few of our close friends, who are all getting sitters for their babies. It’s going to be really fun. It’s going to be a classic mess around.”

A what?

“Don’t worry about it,” Miller says.

Is there anyone whose opinion he’s particularly anxious about, when it comes to the TV show? Or even his new novel?

“I’m always worried about what the fans think. I want the Pepperwood fans to like the show. I want them to like the new book, even though it’s not about Pepperwood, you know?”

Does he think there will be crossover?

“Absolutely I do, yes,” he says, emphatically. “The kids who read Pepperwood when it first came out—this is terrifying to say, but—they’re grown up now. They’re in college or they’re young professionals. HoBo is written for their age group now. It will be marketed to them.”

It’s kind of like they’ve grown up with him.

“Don’t say that,” Miller replies, putting his head in his hands dramatically. “I’m gonna have a panic attack. Having an actual biological child is scary enough.”

Speaking of scary, to distract him from another existential crisis, I ask if he’s been starstruck at any part of the process of turning his beloved novels into a TV show, and his answer is surprising to say the least.

“I mean, I was a little bit starstruck meeting Alfred Molina the first time. He was already in costume as Schmith, too, which was an extra level of weird,” he says, referring to the iconic love-to-hate-him villain of the first Pepperwood book and a supporting player in many of the series’s other installments. Still, Miller eventually got used to the idea of Doc Ock himself being in the show. 

“Oh, I know my big starstruck moment,” he adds. “When Taylor Swift tweeted about the trailer. That was like…Woah! Is this really happening?”

That’s right. When the show’s first trailer debuted in March, the Grammy-winning singer took to Twitter to express her excitement.

“I can’t believe how good this looks,” she tweeted with the emoji of the cat making the Home Alone face. “Is it September yet?!?”

Can we take his excitement over this interaction the confirmation we’ve all been waiting for that Nick Miller is a Swiftie? 

“I don’t know what that is, but I like her. She’s really talented. When my wife’s upset, she likes to listen to Taylor Swift and cry while she drinks pink wine,” he says, before taking a troubled pause. “Maybe I shouldn’t have told you that.”

Day laughs when I tell her this anecdote during our phone call and gives me the go-ahead to print it. “It’s true,” she says. “Who cares?”

So, if they had to pick a Swift song to represent Julius Pepperwood and Jessica Knight’s relationship, what would it be?

Miller’s answer is simple: “You should ask my wife.”

Day’s response, on the other hand, is more complex. “I think it evolves over time, you know, from book to book. Probably in the early books, before they get together for real, it’s ‘Out of the Woods’ or ‘Wildest Dreams.’ Maybe even ‘White Horse,’ if you want to go back into her catalog.”

What about for her and Miller?

“That’s easy,” Day says, and the smile is obvious in her voice. “I’ve always thought of ‘Mine’ as our song of hers.”

This conversation mostly just confirms Miller’s assertion that his wife knows his characters just as well as he does. It also begs the important question of whether he’ll use this big moment in his career as leverage to arrange a meeting between Swift and his wife.

“I don’t know,” he says, honestly. “Maybe? I should ask Jess. She might kill me if I pulled that on her with no warning.”

As our meal and interview come to an end, I can’t help asking Miller a question that has been on my mind the whole time: with all this talk of how great and inspiring his wife is, and how integral to his creative process she’s become, does he happen to identify as a Wife Guy?

“I don’t know what that is either. You keep saying these things—I’ve never heard of them before,” he admits. “But I like the sound of it. So, yeah. I guess so. Unless it’s a bad thing. In which case, no. Was that—did I answer your question?”

In this case, just like so many of Nick Miller’s characters before us, we might have to make peace with an ambiguous ending.

Spoilers for What He Left Behind | Chapter 2 | Rated T

The autopilot hadn’t let up. Hinata went to work, came home, and sat in her room when she wasn’t cooking. The meals she left made him feel bad because she also paid rent for her room. Her cooking was everything that Naruto said it was, and it was bitter to enjoy it. She didn’t go out, though she was constantly reviewing messages trying to coax her out. She ignored the buzzing on her phone by just staring at it. He got sick of it. Sasuke picked up her phone and deleted the messages then blocked the last five numbers she ignored more than once, and handed her her phone back. Sasuke readied himself for rage, but it didn’t come. 

“Thank you,” Hinata whispered.

It didn’t take long before it got out where she was. She was taking a different way to work, and they were seen together getting groceries. People asked him if she was okay after he blocked their way to pester her. 

They asked the question Sasuke couldn’t answer. “Why did you take her in?” Sasuke didn’t think about it at the time, but it would look like he knocked her up, and Naruto left, so he took her and his child out of guilt.

He could ignore the accusation, but he wasn’t sure she could. Hinata was still shut down, and that wasn’t good for the kid or her relationship with it once it was born. He didn’t ask her if she considered other options because if she thought about it, she would have done it already. He didn’t need to be involved, but he was sure she would keep it because she didn’t have a problem being a mother. She just had a problem with the father running off.

Hinata filed for divorce first. The papers were on the counter when she came home from work. Naruto must have never filed. Somehow that made it worse.

Sasuke had no clue how his usually relatively responsible best friend could screw up so much. He should use ‘responsible’ a lot more loosely, but come on.

Every time he thought about it, he didn’t understand it. She was sweet, clean, sane, a good cook, willing and ready to be the mother of his children, and Naruto tossed it at the first sign of everything he had ever said he wanted. He was kind of waiting for something to be wrong with her.

--**--

Hinata sorted through his and her laundry, something he never asked her to do. She just did. He noticed a little set of baby clothes.

“It’s pretty soon for those, isn’t it? You’re not even showing.” Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the small onesie.

“People aren’t sure what to get but want to help out. Infant clothes of all sizes will be useful as the baby will grow quickly.” Hinata mumbled.

Her lack of real opinion on these things was frustrating. “What do you need, anyway?” He had never really taken an interest before. He didn’t act like she wasn’t pregnant. He just didn’t bring it up. 

She set her folding aside, and went to her room, returning with a notebook with a list of her clean writing of what she would need to find before the baby was born. Things like a car seat carrier, baby blankets, a crib, bottles, pacifiers, a breast pump… he didn’t want to know what that was. But it was a short list. Shorter than he thought it would be, there wasn’t a single toy on it.

“Don’t you need baby toys and high chairs?” Sasuke wondered.

“A high chair won’t be needed until it can hold its head up and eat solid food, and there isn’t much more than a rattle or chew toys that are needed to entrain a child of that age.” Hinata looked at the minimal list.

“I guess the minimalist approach works.” When most parents split, the parent who ended up with the kid tried to give them everything to make up for it, but I guess the kid wouldn’t have known, and Hinata didn’t seem the one to give in to emotional impulses. It dawned on him that she may be trying to keep it small, so she didn’t invade his home more than she had to.

“I’ll get you a crib.” Sasuke pointed to the list. “That way, I don’t have to pick out clothes or bears.”

“You don’t need to get anything you have already given us so much by letting us stay.” Hinata tried.

“And I’ll be a dick to everyone else if I don’t get a gift. Just tell me the one you want, and I’ll get it.” Hinata sighed. Sasuke’s nose twitched. “You don’t have to make a big deal about it.”

“You don’t have to make up for what he did. I appreciate all you have done for us, but please don’t feel obligated to take us on because Naruto failed to be the husband I married.” This was the first time Hinata addressed the situation. How long had she held her tongue? She looked like she might turn blue. 

Maybe she thought once she said it, he would throw her out and wash his hands of her. “Nah, he’s a bastard, and I’m done cleaning up his messes, but I sat and listen about how wonderful you were for years, and I don’t know.” He took a breath. “I guess I want to see what was so wonderful that he could just leave like that.”

Hinata closed her eyes. 

“I know I took you in because I’m used to cleaning up his messes, but you can stay as long as you want. I always wonder what kids were like.” Hinata wiped her eyes. Sasuke didn’t mean to make her cry.

“Thank you.” Hinata started weeping, and he didn’t know what to do. He wasn’t going to hug her but…. What did he do?

“You okay?” Sasuke turned to make tea. That’s what she did when he came back stressed from work.

Hinata sniffled, accepting the cup when he finished. “I’m sorry, it’s just, your the only person not pressuring me for answers about Naruto and not asking me what I’m going to do on my own and….”

“That’s all anyone wants to talk about.” Sasuke finished. She nodded. 

Sasuke had gotten that too. Constant questions. Was the real father? Why did he take her in if he wasn’t? What did he think went wrong? What would he do when he got sick of her? When was he going to kick her out for freeloading? No amount of actual truthful answers worked, so he stopped answering.

“The girls at work are half and half. Some of them are so giddy, they only want to talk about the baby. The other ones think I tried to tie him down with a baby and failed, or I cheated, and that’s why you took me in.” Sasuke rolled his eyes and nodded, knowing that one. “My friends want to know what happened and what my plans are….” Hinata hiccuped a sob. “And right now, having the baby is all I have planned. I don’t have any further because all I had... had Naruto in it.” That explained why she stopped going out altogether. Her friends were nothing but reminders that she was drowning in her uncertainty. “Thank you for not adding to it.”

“You’ll figure it out. Even if I hadn’t offered the room, I think you would have found a place you could afford and worked it out. You’re not that fragile. If anything, I would say you have handled this better than any other time I’ve seen a girl get pregnant and someone run off. The last I saw had a breakdown and blamed everyone else then ...drank” Hinata flinched, putting her hand over the slight bump.

“Thank you, it means a lot that you think so.” Hinata sighed, looking at her list. 

“If you want to talk about planning, I’m here. Just don’t make me shop for baby bullshit.” 

Hinata smiled for the first time since she ended up in his place. “I won’t.”

--**--

The void was filled, they could stay in the same room with each other, and it wasn’t filled with tension. On her phone, Hinata showed him what she planned to get, a small bedside crib that would work until the child was old enough not to roll over and suffocate on a futon. He ordered it with his card, one less thing for her to worry about. 

Her cooking was good. It felt like the home he and Naruto never had as orphans. It gave him a pit in his stomach when he realized that he hadn’t had home-cooked food like this in… years since foster care, and it hasn’t been good cooking since his mother.

Since the day Hinata started cooking, she had it on the table at the same time every day. If she came home late, she panicked until she was sure it would be on time. He hadn’t thought much of it until the day she broke down crying when she was 15 minutes late to the table because she set the oven too low. He hadn’t even noticed until she started crying. 

“I’m sorry….” Hinata whimpered. Sasuke stared at her misery, unsure what to do or what brought it on. He didn’t even notice the time. “It’s late...” She explained.

Was it just stress, or was genuinely worried about the time? “Hinata. Honestly, I don’t care when you feed me. You don’t even have to feed me.” 

It didn’t seem to calm her. Hinata buried her face in her hands to sob. Sasuke took a deep breath. Maybe this was the time for a hug. He crossed the room to reach for her, and she flinched when she noticed he got close. 

The fear hit him like a train. Sasuke slammed his hand on the counter, seeing red. “He HIT you!?” 

“No!!” Hinata shrieked. Looking horrified, she hugged herself, and it was clear that wasn’t the whole story. No, Naruto wouldn’t have hit her, but he knew Naruto when he wanted something. Was his best friend above yelling at his wife when she didn’t have dinner on the table, or was she so afraid of disappointing him that even the thought would make her this afraid? Was this why she wasn’t mad? Did she feel like she deserved it?

He felt sick.

Sasuke reached back out. This time Hinata let him set hands on her shoulders. She wiped the blubbering tears, but they kept coming. “I. Don’t. Care.” He pronounced. “Your cooking is a favor. You can stop tomorrow and only feed yourself. You bought all the groceries. You put all the work in. It’s your food. You are choosing to share it.” He made sure not to break eye contact as he tried to get his point across.

Hinata nodded, still sobbing. What the hell had he done to her? Naruto said she was the perfect wife but had he made her that way, or did she rise to his image of perfection?

Sasuke got her to sit down and eat. She picked at her food, but he stayed there until she was done.

“What happened if dinner wasn’t on time?” Sasuke asked.

Hinata picked at her napkin, keeping her eyes down. “He had this image of how the perfect marriage would be and would be upset if the routine was broken. If I were late enough, sometimes he would say… that I wasn’t trying hard enough to make the marriage work. I didn’t love him enough… He never said cruelly, and he didn’t mean it.”

“Don’t make excuses for him. If the story paints him bad, maybe it’s correct.” Sasuke growled. “Once you start making excuses, it turns from bad behavior to abuse.” 

Sasuke was putting the pieces together now. His apartment was clean as could be, cleaner than when he moved in. Hinata was attentive to him when he talked but only gave words of encouragement, even if he was just ranting about bullshit or was the bad guy. She was particular about making his morning easier. Coffee made for him and ready to his liking. His lunch was always something he would eat. Dinner, well, they just covered that. If he didn’t like something, she would apologize and fix it to his liking, even if it was at her expense. How had he not seen all this before? She was so eager to please, and his lack of negative response was starving her need to improve constantly. 

“I’m not a hard man to please,” Sasuke added. “You could serve me a mountain of sweets, and the worst you get out of me is a sarcastic remark, and I won’t eat it. I didn’t buy the food. You pay rent. You aren’t a burden.” He tapped his hand on the table so he would look up at her. “Alright?”

Hinata wearily nodded. Did Naruto think she was so wonderful because she was ready to serve him? Why was he the one to leave? Where the hell was he anyway?

What He Left Behind

Pairing: Sasuke x Hinata Rating: T

Description: When Sasuke is confronted with an abandoned pregnant Hinata, he does the only thing he can think to do, he takes her in. Strangers to friends. Friends to lovers.

Figure 2. Classement et part de marché des 16 premiers acteurs mondiaux de Sièges d'auto pour bébés (Le classement est basé sur le chiffre d'affaires de 2022, continuellement mis à jour)

The Infant Car Seats market experiences growth due to several key factors that reflect parental concerns, safety regulations, and lifestyle changes. Some of the main drivers for this market include:

: A growing understanding of the importance of child safety in vehicles has led to a higher demand for infant car seats. Parents and caregivers are more informed about the risks associated with not using appropriate child restraint systems, leading to a greater willingness to invest in quality products.

: Governments around the world have implemented strict laws mandating the use of approved car seats for infants and children up to certain ages or weights. These regulations drive the market by making infant car seats a necessity rather than an optional purchase.

: Continuous improvements in design, materials, and features such as side-impact protection, easy installation systems (like LATCH – Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), and adjustable harness systems have increased the appeal and effectiveness of infant car seats, encouraging parents to upgrade or replace their existing seats.

: As more families live in urban areas and own cars, the need for safe transportation solutions for infants rises. Urban lifestyles often involve frequent car travel, making infant car seats a must-have item.

: With both parents working in many households, the convenience and safety provided by infant car seats enable busy parents to transport their babies efficiently between childcare, work, and other activities.

: Parents tend to trust well-established brands known for their safety records and quality standards. Positive word-of-mouth and online reviews can significantly influence purchasing decisions in this market.

: The availability of infant car seats through a variety of channels, including baby specialty stores, online platforms, and mass retailers, makes them easily accessible to a broader consumer base.

: As parents seek products that align with their lifestyle choices, such as eco-friendly materials or stylish designs, manufacturers are responding with a diverse range of options, catering to these preferences and driving market expansion.

: The development of convertible car seats that grow with the child, transitioning from infant to toddler stages, provides a cost-effective solution that appeals to many parents, further boosting the market.

These market drivers reflect a combination of regulatory requirements, technological progress, and changing consumer preferences, all contributing to the steady growth and evolution of the infant car seat market.

Choosing the Right Family Taxi with Car Seat in Spain: Expert Tips

Travelling with children in Spain, whether for a holiday or daily routines, requires careful planning, especially when it comes to transportation. Choosing the right family taxi that offers car seats is crucial for your child’s safety and your peace of mind. Here’s a guide with expert tips on how to make the best choice.

1. Understand the Legal Requirements

Spain has strict laws regarding child car seats, and it’s important to be aware of them before booking a taxi. Children under 135 cm in height must use an appropriate child restraint system. The type of car seat required depends on the child’s age, weight, and height:

Group 0/0+: For infants up to 13 kg, rear-facing seats are mandatory.

Group 1: For children between 9-18 kg, forward-facing seats with a harness are used.

Group 2/3: For children between 15-36 kg, booster seats with or without a backrest are used. Ensure that the taxi service you choose complies with these regulations and provides the appropriate car seat for your child’s needs.

2. Research Taxi Services Specialising in Family Transport

Not all taxi services in Spain are equipped to provide child car seats. Look for services that specialise in family transportation, as they are more likely to offer a variety of car seats and understand the importance of correct installation. Companies like Taxi Bambino in Madrid and Barcelona, for example, offer this specialised service. Additionally, some ride-hailing apps, such as Uber and Cabify, may have options for requesting a vehicle with a car seat, but it’s essential to check availability in your specific area.

3. Check for Safety and Comfort

Safety is paramount, but comfort is also important, especially on longer journeys. When choosing a taxi service, inquire about the condition and quality of their car seats. Ask if the seats are regularly maintained and meet European safety standards (ECE R44/04 or the newer i-Size R129). Also, consider the comfort features, such as padding and reclining options, to ensure your child is both safe and comfortable during the trip.

4. Book in Advance

Family taxis with car seats are in high demand, especially in tourist-heavy areas like Madrid, Barcelona, and the Costa del Sol. It’s advisable to book your taxi in advance to ensure availability. When booking, clearly specify the type of car seat you need, including the age, weight, and height of your child. This will help the taxi service prepare the correct seat and avoid any last-minute issues.

5. Consider the Cost

While some taxi services in Spain offer car seats at no extra cost, others may charge a fee. It’s important to factor this into your budget. Compare prices among different providers and check if the cost includes the installation of the car seat. Remember, the cheapest option isn’t always the best, especially when it comes to your child’s safety.

6. Read Reviews and Seek Recommendations

Before booking, read reviews from other parents who have used the service. Their experiences can provide valuable insights into the reliability and quality of the taxi service. Online platforms like TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, and parenting forums can be useful resources. Additionally, ask for recommendations from local residents or hotel staff, as they might know the most reliable family-friendly taxi services in the area.

7. Plan for Emergencies

It’s always good to have a backup plan in case your booked taxi is delayed or doesn’t meet your expectations. Familiarise yourself with the contact details of alternative family taxi services in the area. Also, keep a portable child safety seat in case you need to use a standard taxi without prior booking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Are child car seats mandatory in all taxis in Spain?Yes, child car seats are mandatory in Spain for children under 135 cm in height. However, in some cities, taxis are exempt from this rule for short urban trips, but it's always safer to use a car seat.

2. How can I ensure the taxi service provides the correct car seat?When booking, provide detailed information about your child’s age, weight, and height. Confirm with the taxi service that they have the correct car seat and inquire about their experience in installing it correctly.

3. Can I bring my own car seat when using a taxi in Spain?Yes, you can bring your own car seat, and many parents prefer this to ensure the seat meets their safety and comfort standards. However, make sure the taxi is compatible with your seat, especially in terms of the seat belt system.

4. Are there any ride-hailing apps that offer taxis with car seats in Spain?Yes, some ride-hailing apps like Uber and Cabify offer the option to request a vehicle with a car seat in certain cities. However, availability may vary, so it’s important to check the app’s options in your specific location.

Conclusion

Choosing the right family taxi with a car seat Spain requires careful planning, research, and communication with the service provider. By understanding the legal requirements, researching specialised services, and prioritising safety and comfort, you can ensure a smooth and safe journey for your family.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Stroller for Your Baby

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Stroller for Your Baby, When it comes to preparing for the arrival of your little one, selecting the right stroller is an essential decision. A reliable and comfortable stroller can make your life as a parent much easier, allowing you to navigate through daily activities and adventures with ease.  However, with numerous options available in the market, choosing the best stroller for your baby can be overwhelming. Fear not! In this ultimate guide, we will walk you through the key factors to consider when selecting a stroller that suits your needs and preferences.

Safety First:

Safety should be your top priority when selecting a stroller for your baby. Look for a stroller that meets the safety standards set by relevant authorities in your country. Ensure that it has a sturdy frame, reliable brakes, a secure harness system, and a stable base. Consider strollers with features like a five-point harness and a canopy to protect your baby from harmful UV rays.

Stroller Type:

There are various types of strollers available, each designed for specific purposes. Consider your lifestyle, terrain, and intended usage to determine the most suitable type for you:

a. Full-sized Strollers: These strollers are versatile, offering a wide range of features. They are sturdy, durable, and often provide ample storage space.

b. Lightweight/ Umbrella Strollers: Ideal for traveling or quick errands, these strollers are lightweight, compact, and easy to maneuver. However, they might lack some features found in full-sized strollers.

c. Jogging Strollers: If you are an active parent who enjoys jogging or walking on rough terrains, jogging strollers with enhanced suspension and larger wheels are designed to provide a smooth ride.

d. Travel Systems: These strollers come with a detachable infant car seat, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without waking them up.

Size and Weight:

Consider the size and weight of the stroller, especially if you have limited storage space or plan to travel frequently. While a lighter stroller is more convenient for carrying and maneuvering, ensure it does not compromise on durability and stability.

Maneuverability:

Test the stroller’s maneuverability before making a purchase. Push and turn it around corners to ensure it moves smoothly. Look for strollers with adjustable handlebars to accommodate parents of different heights.

Comfort Features:

Your baby’s comfort is of utmost importance. Look for a stroller with a padded seat, good suspension, and adjustable recline positions. A stroller with a reversible seat allows your baby to face you or the world, offering flexibility as they grow.

Storage and Accessories:

Evaluate the storage options provided by the stroller. Adequate storage compartments or baskets are handy for carrying diaper bags, snacks, and other essentials. Consider additional accessories such as a cup holder, rain cover, or a detachable tray.

Folding Mechanism:

Check how easily the stroller can be folded and unfolded. A one-handed folding mechanism is convenient, especially when you have your baby in your arms. Ensure the folded stroller fits comfortably in your car trunk or storage area.

Durability and Quality:

Invest in one that is built to last. Read reviews, check the materials used, and examine the construction quality. Look for strollers with robust frames, high-quality fabrics, and reliable mechanisms.

Budget Considerations:

Strollers come in a wide range of prices. Set a budget beforehand, keeping in mind that a good-quality stroller will be an investment that can be used for multiple children.

Customer Reviews and Recommendations:

Before making a final decision, read customer reviews and seek recommendations from trusted sources. Real-life experiences can provide valuable insights into the pros and cons of different strollers.

Conclusion:

Choosing the best stroller for your baby involves considering various factors such as safety, stroller type, size, manoeuvrability, comfort features, storage, folding mechanism, durability, budget, and customer reviews. Assessing your specific needs and preferences will help you make an informed decision. Remember, the perfect stroller is the one that meets your requirements while keeping your baby safe, comfortable, and happy during your adventures together.

In this blog, we’ll explore the pros and cons of the Cybex Aton G based on reviews, helping you understand whether it’s the right choice for your child.

Pros of the Cybex Aton G

Outstanding Safety Features

One of the most frequently praised aspects of the Cybex Aton G is its comprehensive safety features. The seat includes Cybex’s renowned Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P.) system, which is designed to absorb and reduce the forces of a side collision.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle

Weighing in at just over 9 pounds, the Cybex Aton G is one of the lightest infant car seats on the market. Parents appreciate this lightweight design, especially when they need to carry the seat with their child in it. The seat’s compact size also makes it easy to maneuver in and out of cars, as well as to transport while traveling. Many reviewers mention how convenient this is for everyday use.

Stylish Design and High-Quality Materials

The Cybex Aton G is often praised for its modern, stylish design. The seat’s sleek look and premium materials give it a high-end feel, which appeals to parents who prioritize aesthetics as well as functionality. The seat covers are made from high-quality, breathable fabrics that are easy to clean, adding to the seat’s overall appeal.

Ease of Installation

Many reviews note that the Cybex Aton G is easy to install, both with and without the base. The seat’s base features a one-click installation system, complete with indicators that turn green when the seat is correctly installed. This reduces the chances of user error, making it a favorite among parents who value simplicity and reliability.

Cons of the Cybex Aton G

Price Point

chicco fit2 review

One of the most common drawbacks mentioned in reviews is the Cybex Aton G’s price. As a premium product, it comes with a higher price tag than many other infant car seats on the market. While many parents feel the safety and design features justify the cost, others may find it difficult to justify spending more, especially if they are on a budget.

Limited Weight and Height Capacity

The Cybex Aton G has a weight limit of 35 pounds and a height limit of 30 inches, which means some babies may outgrow it faster than other car seats with higher limits. Reviewers who have taller or larger infants mention this as a downside, as they need to upgrade to a larger seat sooner than they expected.

Narrow Seat Design

While the compact design of the Cybex Aton G is a benefit for ease of use, some reviews point out that the seat can be a bit narrow, especially for larger babies. Parents with bigger infants have noted that their child may feel cramped, which could affect comfort during longer car rides.

Conclusion: Is the Cybex Aton G Right for You?

The Cybex Aton G is a well-regarded infant car seat with a strong emphasis on safety, style, and ease of use. Its lightweight design and high-quality materials make it a popular choice, though the higher price point and potential limitations in size capacity may be drawbacks for some families. Ultimately, if safety and design are your top priorities and the cost is within your budget, the Cybex Aton G is a strong contender for your child’s first car seat. However, if you need a more budget-friendly option or anticipate needing a car seat with a longer lifespan, you might want to consider other models.
