My head is going to explode

Yeah, I'm all baby posting in this joint today. It randomly occurred to me that my kid is an inch away from being too long for his infant seat, so I'm researching convertible seats.

Way too much info. Way too much.

Re: My head is going to explode

  • Will this help? We use Britax seats. I got Owen the Britax Boulevard 70 (it's the new model). Maggie has the Roundabout, it's smaller. But she's smaller. She could easily still be rear facing in it, but we had to turn her when we moved her seat to intstall Owen's carseat base as Mike wouldn't be able to drive the car if she were still RFing. 

    We also considered the Graco My Ride 65. The Costco Sencera is a good cheap seat for grandma or for occasional use.

  • I've been looking at the Graco My Ride. I'm wiling to pay for the Britax if it is legitimately better, but I've found several reviews saying the Graco seems to work the longest for height which I imagine is going to be our issue if he keeps growing at his current rate.

    It's so hard to get past the "if you don't buy a britax, you don't care about your child's safety" hype that is everywhere. 

    He's 5 months old, and nine month pants are just barely long enough.

  • I have the Graco My Ride 65.  We haven't had to adjust the straps yet, so I don't know if that's a pain.  It seemed to be a bit of a PITA in his other seat.
  • I got ours on 20% off at BRU. I know Amazon has them on sale a lot too.

    Maybe people were hoping for something interesting and then were like "Damnit, another lame-o baby post! I hate babies!"

    My other theory is secret board, since apparently they're hard up for posts these days.

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • We have a Graco.   It matches my car's interior.

  • We have a Britax Boulevard in one car and a Roundabout in the other.  I actually prefer the Roundabout because it's got less cushiony crap to navigate around when I''m trying to strap a flailing child into it.

  • We have True Fits and love them! They are super easy to adjust too. My sister went with the My Ride and also has no complaints.
  • My next question (because I am just that interesting today). Do you have two seats or have one vehicle that primarily transports the kid?

  • What seat do you have? We have the snugride 35 which goes to 32 inches. I am not sure where Dagger is in height right now but he was at 27 at his 4 month.
  • I thought infant seats were supposed to last them for at least a year!

    You can't reuse infant seats either, right? If we have more than one kid, we have to buy a new infant seat each time for safety reasons?

    We have a snugride, but I can't remember which one it is. If it's the one that only goes to 29" we're almost there.

  • I think we're going with the Evenflo Triumph LX, but I'm hoping to hold off until the new year. Which I think will be fine, given my baby's stubby legs.

    You can reuse them. If they have not been in an accident and are not old.
