Edited w a ? - How long did you use the infant car seat for?

When did you switch dc out of the infant car seat into a convertible one?

WWYD

When I was preg my BFF was like don't buy an infant car seat I used mine like, just borrow mine. So I took hers. But she's due in 7 weeks. Dd is almost 7mos, 25 inches and 16lbs. She is smallish according to dr but looks like she fits well in the car seat.

I love the snap and go and often she falls asleep and I can keep her sleeping in her room in the car seat. I dreaded the buckling and unbuckling and carrying. So should I suck it up and buy one? I figure since it'll be summer she'll have light clothes on and fit better than winter.

Or should I get over it and buy a convertible now since ill have to anyway?

Dd is still in at 10 months... She's only 27 inches. I plan on keeping her in it until the nicer weather comes.

Def after a year old it really depends on the size of your child

dd1- 6 months
dd2- She is 9 months and still in it. I hate it so much. She already weighs 18lbs and the seat is so heavy but because this weather is miserable its just easier to keep her in it it.

Still using it at 11 months. Definitely won't switch until it's warmer out, plus I don't want to give up my snap and go!

Re: How long did you use the infant car seat for?

DS was about 7 1/2 -8 months. He was outgrowing it height wise. Not even near the weight limit.
I was very sad to not have the snap&go any more!!!
