Carseat question!

Chels

When can I put my almost 7 month old in a bigger carseat? He is still in the same one he has been in since he was born and he weigh like between 20-22 lbs. We were looking at the up right ones with air bags anyone know if they are as good as they sound?

I put my daughter in a convertible carseat around that time. We were moving 8 hours away and she HATED her infant carseat. I'm so glad I put her in the New one she LOVES it!

@navybabyonway why are they called convertible carseats?? Jw I'm a ftm...

MorgDeeBee

I'm a FTM too! They go from Facing back yo facing forward. The one we have hold up to like 85lbs or something so we ain't need to buy her a New seat at all.

@navybabyonway Omg Omg he gets to face forward now yay!!!!! Thank you!!! I can't wait to go shopping now! I'm soooo excited! Being a mom rocks!!!

He cannot face forward until 1 year old AND 20 lbs. Recommended to actually wait until 2 to forward face. Buy a convertible though. Babies seem to like to sit up.

@chels they're convertible bc they also go to a booster. Mine goes up to 100lb as a booster. Like @fate said it's not recommended to front face til at least a yr old but should be 2. We moved my son into a convertible @ 6 months bc the carrier was too heavy for me and he loves his carseat now. He would scream in the infant carrier.

She meant they're called convertible car seats because they can face either way. Your baby is too young to face forward.

@starrxoxo9 thanks for clarifying! Eventually he can face forward, but not now

How do you put them backwards in a convertible carseat?
