when do you take infant insert out of car seat?

Your manual should say. For the chicco keyfit, it's at 11 pounds. I left the head support in though since she doesn't have great head control yet.

Mine (Chicco KeyFit 30 says 11 lbs, but the head positioner doesn't have a weight limit and his head is still fitting in it with room to spare so I've left it in.

Have you guys moved the straps up yet? They're starting in the middle of her back now, so I'm guessing I need to move them up a notch?

I'll probably move the straps and the head rest up this weekend. Especially w/ the CD's, she's sitting pretty tall in there now. Our babies are growing!

Thanks! I'm hoping when I take those parts out that it'll be less hot for her and therefore will like her carseat better. She hates it now.

I don't have an insert in my carseat...maybe it's because it's 2yrs old and that's something new?

I am so glad you posted this! I didn't realize it was almost time to remove the insert- however I wasn't expecting Ty to grow so much so quickly!! I did move the straps up a few weeks ago but moved them back downs because he was screaming bloody murder once I moved them up. Once I moved them backed he was fine. He is about10 lb and getting so big I guess he'll have to get used to the straps being higher!

Are you talking about the harness straps?  If so, they need to be at or just below her shoulders.
