Any car seat solutions for traveling but only needing to take a car to and from the airport (~10 minutes each way)? Up to now we always bring the car seat but it’s annoying to lug around. Kid is 4yo.

Check out mifold. Great solution for this type of thing.

^ horrible advice. Kids are way safer rear facing, then front in full seat, then booster. In order. Should def max height or weight before progressing. It’s on the order of 50% better crash outcomes, hardly a nominal improvement. The science is quite strong on this and APA just alters their reco to “rear facing as long as possible."

Try a Trunki BoostApak. We’ve been using it since my son was 3.5 and it’s still going strong at 8

Safety first still but just seeing if others have done anything. Not going to a place with Uber car seat.

We use a Bubble Bum inflatable booster seat for our oldest. I think the minimum weight is 40 lbs.

We have a car seat that's rated up to 35lbs and leave the base at home. It's fairly light weight, and we use it in the rental car, too. Doesn't work in Europe, sadly enough, because it's not EU rated.

We always get an Uber with a car seat

Kids on lap. Just like my folks did!

Mifold is the way to go

Try a kid friendly car service? Ride in Bliss is one we’ve used in Chicago

Uber family, Bliss, OHare Personal Valet. Lots of solutions

Mifold looks awesome!

Why don’t you switch to a booster? It’s probably about time for that anyways. Much smaller and easier to carry. Or just lap ride for the 10 min. It’s technically not legal but I’ve never had an uber or taxi say no. And if you are mindful I’m sure it’ll be fine. Don’t let the kid flop around the car, put your seatbelt on, hold him, etc

Correct. They are safer facing back. But it seemed that op is trying to balance safety and convenience.

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
