speaking of car seats...
When do I use a booster seat? I'm all overwhelmed again. Gah. I hate baby gear shopping.
Gabby is in a convertible seat, forward facing now, but the seat only goes to 50lbs. She's 29lbs. Genna is still in her infant seat, she's 19lbs-20lbs (her seat goes to 22lbs). I don't know if I should get an entirely new convertible for Gabby (one that goes to 65lbs) and use Gabby's current one for Genna... or buy a new convertible for Genna and just expect to buy a booster for Gabby when she outgrows her current convertible seat.
Halp!
Re: speaking of car seats...
Yeah I was iffy on that, too. I mean I get the point - that a booster is mainly to help align the child so the seat belt is positioned properly so this does do that job, but it's not something I would rely on for my main mode of transportation. It would be perfect for vacations or trips where you can't bring the booster, but I wouldn't want to use it every day or for long trips.
We got a Britax for Ava and it goes to I think 55lbs but I looked up charts for weight and age and by the time Gabby hit's 50lbs she'll be in one of those small just little lap boosters if that even because she'd be like 8 years old haha
But so far I really like the Britax 55 and diapers.com runs sales on Britax quite a bit to get 20% off.
My pedi is of the mindset to use a convertible as long as possible. A lot of them are rated to 100 lbs and her kids are staying in them well past 30 lbs.
Audrey is only 28 lbs right now and we are not switching to a booster at 30 lbs. We will wait until 50 or 75 to switch to a booster.
