Re: infant carrier

I switched him at 8 months. I don't remember how much he weighed then, maybe a little less than 20 lbs. He has always been very tall though like 95%+ percentile for height.

Re: infant carrier

oh wow... so I am not crazy thinking of switching him soon (he is 6 months)! He looks soooo umcomfortable in there!!!!

The only reason I hate to do it is for when he falls asleep in the car!

Re: infant carrier

We did it at about 14 months when his little brother was born. He was just about to outgrow it. There is no rush out of the carrier you don't have to take it in and out of the car but it is a great option if necessary.

nope, not crazy at all.

DS was 3 months when we switched him out. He was around 27 inches but he looked like he was too big for that thing (there wasn't much room for head head/feet anymore)

The first month after switching him was horrible. He cried bloody murder when we put him in the covertible seat. But after that first month, he seems to really like it. And when he falls asleep in there, half the time, i can take him out of the seat and he'll STILL be asleep Chat Icon

4 months. He was no where near the limit. I was just sick of carrying it.

He probably could still fit in it. At 20m he is only 22lbs

ds was 6 months. His shoulders were wedged in the carrier. At nearly 18 lbs and i think 25 or so inches, we were done. The final straw was when i slipped with him in the carrier and i was walking so crazy to carry teh damn thing.

jack was 9 months - 20ish lbs. I wanted so badly to continue using the infant seat (it was winter) but it was just too heavy.
