Q. i cannot seem to find what im looking for, but like some kind of light i can use in the carseat (attachaces) for late nights. anyone know of any?
A. There aren't any infant seats that come pre-equipped with lights. If you can find something - like the LED light that mystic suggested that doesn't get hot, the key is securing it to the car/carseat so that it doesn't become a projectile in the event you are involved in an accident. There's a test for carseat toys... If you hit yourself in the head with it... and you say ouch... well then you shouldn't use it. :-)
Evenflo does make a booster seat with built in LED lights in it, but it is just a booster and is not safe for a child less than 4 and 40 lbs. So, keep that in mind for later!

What games or toys should I orgnaize for our baby?
Q. Our baby is 4 months old. We live overseas, so toys are not so varied. What games are good to play with her and what toys are useful at this age?
A. Most toys you can make yourself. You need to make toys that engage your baby's senses, especially touch, sound, and sight. You can make your own shakers by putting beans and ANY other small object in a can or bottle and tapping it shut. It will give your baby a variety of noises to hear and sharpen her sense of hearing. Also, bright colors and lights are easiest for baby to see right now. When you introduce sights, sounds and textures to your baby, you help stimulate the senses and prepare a memory bank of experiences that feed imaginative thinking. You can use anything...try a flashlight on the wall, a laser pointer on the ground (not in your baby's face, of course!) or a prism so your baby can see the different colors. For texture, just use different types of cloth and towels from around your house. Put them near your baby so she can reach for them herself and explore on her own. She will feel them and experience different textures.
Here are some other ideas for encouraging your 4 month old to learn and play:
* During tummy time, place a favorite toy or soft ball in front of the baby to reach for.
* Hide one of your baby's toys - but don't hide it very well - and encourage him or her to find it.
* Let your baby discover that her actions can make things happen. Provide toys that will move or make sounds when your infant manipulates them, such as baby musical instruments, busy boxes, or see-through toys that show motion.
* Sing your favorite nursery rhymes like "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" and "Hey Diddle Diddle".

What is everyone's favorite games to play with their infants?
Q. I have a 7 month old son and want to know what beloved games keep a child stimulated and happy. He already has hours of playing, reading, listening to music and other people talk, visual media, and bouncer/swing time. Is there any other jingles or cute little games I can play with him besides peek-a-boo, nursery rhymes, finding dropped items, tickling, and various toys?
A. good old blocks is a classic, touch feel and smell things, outside is obviously good with lots of bird noises, and pretty smelling flowers, soft light isnt as intrusive, sounds like botanical gardens is the best bet, also what about pets? Rabbits are cool
