I mean, it doesn't take a car seat to tell you kids are expensive. You're saving 50% on child care costs already by not having a third child

- recursive 6y ago50%? I can't come up with any remotely plausible formula that gives anything too far from ~33%.
- hervature 6y agoI think it's 2*1.5 = 3 (3rd kid is 50% more expensive)
- recursive 6y agoOk, I can imagine how "avoiding a 50% increase" could be construed as "saving 50%".

- glouwbug 6y agoIf only the cost of having children were linear
- recursive 6y agoIn my experience, it seems to be sub-linear. Subsequent ones don't require all new everything.
- imhoguy 6y agoThat depends on gender and age difference with sibilings.
- dzhiurgis 6y agoAsides from car seat we've never bought anything new. We couldn't find a used seat that we liked. It's weird some people insist on new when accepting baby presents. All of the best toys we've got were second or third generation!
