I have a Spirit aps car seat, but sadly no one to drive me around in. It would be heavenly to go on a long road trip strapped into that thing. So easy to sleep in since you can't move and the headrest just encourages you to nod off.gterriley said:
What kind of life jacket do you have?Lolalj said:Hi friend! I am also like you. I don't consider myself an adult baby, I don't wear diapers etc. (But of course I have no judgment towards those who do!!) But I do have a very intense passion for safety related things. I was also "stuck" in a car seat until I was like 11 years old, because I had a younger sibling who tought it was unfair that I'd get a booster and not them... so I had to wait until THEY maxed out of the harness seat... my parents were also always extremely strict when it came to wearing helmets (understandably) so we ended up with quite a collection from horse riding, cycling, skiing, ice skating etc.
Finally... life jackets. My favorite thing. I just LOVE the feeling of wearing one, even tough I was a competitive swimmer, I would still much rather wear a life jacket anytime I get in the water. The ones with the large collars and the crotch straps, like the ones i used to wear as a child, are the absolute best.
I'm currently writing this in bed, with my life jacket on

what kind of seat did you ride in? 
Just a a side note to your thread - When we climb up radio towers and other structures, we wear a 5 point safety harness for fall protection. It doesn't have crotch straps, but It has 2 loops that your legs go through and serve the same purpose. Possibly a career for you? You could be strapped in all the time, LOL.gterriley said:The strict parents pipeline lol
Also, yes. Love my life jacket. I fully prefer the feel of the crotch strap, the most annoying part of a life jacket is when it rides up on you and that completely eliminates that issue. I’ve had some of my friends wear mine and initially laugh when buckling in but then be like “this just makes sense why doesn’t every one have this”
gterriley said:Hello everyone. I posted this on the introduction forum but was told I’d get better responses here, so here I amI was reluctant to make an account on here because I don’t think what would typically qualify as an AB, I’m not into diapers or acting like a baby (no disrespect to anyone who does these things!) but I’ve developed a fascination at this point of my life and I don’t know what to make of it.
I’m 26 F and for most of my life grew up in a VERY protective family (I had to ride in a car seat using a harness until I was 11, had helicopter parents, curfews etc). When I was young I hated this, and I wanted to be less “safeguarded”. Recently, as I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed it’s become the complete opposite, I love everything that’s “safe”.
For example, most people don’t like wearing life jackets. I got a jetski last year and I love wearing my life jacket. I got a really nice one with a little collar on it and a strap that goes between my legs and I feel so secure in it when I’m in the water floating around. I always sleep with a weighted blanket because it’s comforting to me. It’s not necessarily a “safe thing” but I got a fleece onesie from onepiece for my birthday and it’s the coziest thing in the world, I wear it whenever I’m bumming it around the house on Sunday. It’s funny but the one thing I want the most right now is to ride in a car seat again. A few years ago while I was in college I was at a friend’s house getting ready to go out and the friend’s mom drove us to the bar. They babysit a kid with special needs and her mom forgot to take the car seat out of the car so one of my friends hopped in it as a joke and rode to the bar strapped in. We were all laughing at the time but it looked so cute and safe! Ever since then I’ve wanted to feel what it’s like to ride in a car seat again because there are special needs car seats that are in my height and weight range that I can legally ride in. I’m too embarrassed to tell anybody I know about this and want to know if anyone else has developed a gravitation toward safety like this.

I’m in medical device sales, maybe in another lifetime lol but I don’t do heights so kudos to you for being brave enough to do what you doadam said:
My childhood tooNewtolittlespacelife2023 said:
we never got into an accident thank god, but now I’m actually thankful my sister and I were harnessed so long, it really is SO much safer. Can you show me the carseat your getting. Do you remember the one you had as a kid? Did your mom take it to put in other cars if you were riding with someone. I was always embarrassed because I could never reach anything I droppedgterriley said:My childhood too
As for getting driven around, that’s going to take some time to build up the courage to ask, hopefully in the future.
For some reason I personally don’t have much interest in high chairs, to be honest I don’t have any memories of being in one
This is my Roosevelt, I haven’t actually rode in it in the car yet but I fit perfectly in the straps!Newtolittlespacelife2023 said:
Your mom sounds like mine . Mine refused to consider a booster seat. She kept saying it doesn't matter other parents do. She felt a booster had no safety features and didn't prevent me from going forwardgterriley said:
1997. To be honest I don’t have much of a memory of rear facing. I definitely remember riding in my Husky though. I hated it as a kid, I would buckle myself in and then had to wait for my straps to be tightened up. I slept really well in it but it was embarrassing. My younger sister liked her seat and had less of an issue with being in a harness so long. Our rule was that we rode with the harness until we either outgrew it or hit the 80lb limit on the seatsNewtolittlespacelife2023 said:
I wish that would've been the case for me growing up, I had basically the exact opposite experience with my parents. I can't even remember being in a car seat at all for the most part. Do you mind me asking where you are from? I'm trying to find a similar seat to your roosevelt and am wondering where geographically you were even able to find one being sold.gterriley said:

Just look around on Facebook marketplace, someone else on this thread actually joined me and got one, type in “Roosevelt car seat” or “special needs car seat” and set the distance to 250 miles away from youFusion10 said:

Hi, well I am not a little I am a sissy that would love to have a little to take care of someday. With that in mind I would really be interested in the safety equipment that we use for babies to make sure that my little will be happy and safe. As a mechanical engineer I would be very interested in developing different safety objects for adult babies. I think I am going to work on a design for a car seat to fit adult babies of different sizes and also see how the car seats are designed. I would ask others here other than the five point harness what other aspects of the seats would you like integrated. I might go ahead and also work on a buster seat to fit different chairs with safety straps.gterriley said:Hello everyone.
