Poll: LO still in the infant carrier or car seat?

MomtobeNJ

Infant carrier or car seat? Annnnnnnd, GO!

DD is still in the carrier. She's not even 15 lbs but she's starting to look a little squished in there. I'm going to try and strap her into the convertible car seat and see if she looks secure enough. If so, we might switch out next weekend.

Greylan has been in a convertible since the beginning of February. He does well it in!

He's still in his infant seat but at 21lbs he's VERY heavy to carry around. I still love the convenience of it though because he usually falls alseep in it! We have the convertible installed and ready to go so we plan on using it for a bit to get him use

DD is 14 pounds and still in the carrier.  She sleeps well in it so I'm going to use it as long as possible, hopefully until about 1 year old.

LO is still in the infant carrier.  She was 17 lbs when we went to the doctor almost two weeks ago, so we will probably stick with it for a bit.

Napping is what I am worried about, too. She almost always falls asleep on the way home from daycare, and stays asleep in the carrier for about 20 - 30 minutes when we get home. She really needs that little catnap.

LO is still in the infant seat but at 95th for height she seems to be outgrowing it quick.  I'll probably ditch the infant carrier once the weather warms up.  You know, probably by July at the rate we're going in Michigan...DD1 used hers unti

We just switched to the carseat.  He's 16 pounds and that was plenty heavy to be dragging with me everywhere we went.  He absolutely hated the infant carrier and loves his carseat.

I'm sure he is over 30" now so I have been going off the 1" from the top rule. He is now in that range so we are switching out the seats on Saturday.

Still in the infant seat. I bought the Snugride 35 so I could use it longer. She is heavy in it, but the convenience is nice and she really likes the seat. We will use it until she outgrows it.

Convertible for my car. DH uses the infant seat and his parents have a base for it. We don't ever use the infant seat to carry him though. It just makes it easy for when my ILs watch the kids.

DS is still in his infant carrier.  We have a Britax and DS is still under the weight and height limits.  I don't carry him in it all that often, so I'll probably leave him in that until he outgrows it or decides that he isn't comfortable in it

BPer

Convertible seat. I couldn't carry 16.5 pounds of her, plus whatever the weight of the bucket was. I definitely prefer it,

bosha711

Yes, DD is still in infant carrier. I have no real plans of switching her soon.

It's still cold here some days & it's nice not to have to bundle her & carry her around. Plus it makes it a lot easier when I pick DS up from daycare to be a

Holly_1007

Still in the carrier.  I'm sure he is getting close to maxing out the weight, we have our 6 month apt tomorrow!

DS is still in the infant seat.  He's 18lbs and 27", so still has a little ways to go before he hits the 30" height limit.

I hate hate hate carrying that thing.  I never took it out of the car when DD was an infant, but it's just easier

It's still cold here some day

GRMama24

Convertible for a few weeks now. DS is 20lbs!

misspunky

We're moving LO over to the convertible this weekend.  I didn't want to deal with it when it was still cold since she still technically fit in her infant carrier.  She hates being confined in it though, so it's definitely time to move her!

MrsKipper

Infant carrier but we don't carry it in anywhere anymore, we just leave it in the car and take her out. We'll probably keep her in that until she outgrows it!

juliane2004

Lorelai has been in the convertible seat since November ish (3 months). But we use infant carrier with no straps when I put her in the stroller. Or when we go to church or something, it's a good spot for her to take naps in.

L8kissie

LO is in the infant still. She's not quite 15 lbs and only 23.25 in. I see no reason to switch. The baby seat can be convenient. She'll get to the other soon enough. She uses a convertible when Dh takes off with the infant and when we visit in laws though

linzeek44

Infant carrier. But we have the convertible installation in our to do lists, we just never do it.

thetwinkies&Vivi

They are in convertibles. Two infant seats got to be too much.

Mom2Mack1

Carrier.  I'm sure DS is 20lbs.  It is hard to carry him around but he likes to sleep in it when we're at church and other events.  Plus, with him in the carrier I can put him down anywhere and scoop up DD when she's misbehaving!!!

LyndseylovesHugh

Still in the infant carrier.  I want the Clek Foonf and have a diapers.com giftcard, but they do not have the color I want yet.  As soon as they do I am going to buy it and then we will switch her over.  She in in the Graco Snugride 35 and

melody921

I'm using the infant carrier as long as possible since I love the convenience of it. DD is only 13 1/2 pounds, so she's not too heavy to haul around yet.

freeatlast2014

Infant seat but we are pushing it. Just like Mom2Mack, it's too convenient to deal with an unruly toddler and have the infant contained in the bucket.

britt1217

Still in infant carrier. LO just had her 6 month check up and is 15lb 7oz. I quit bringing the infant carrier with me in stores. LO is still a little wobbly but sits in the front of the cart with blankets around her to help support. And I love that she na

convertible carseat.

He's been in there since February. 

mimi_8607

We switch C about a month ago. I HATE the carrier he HATED the carrier. I was really nervous switching him but it worked out great. He would throw a fit anytime he had to go in the carrier and in a store if he was awake he threw a fit wanting ou

biggdaddy4605

Infant carrier. I love that thing!  DD weighed 12 lbs 4 oz at her appt last Wednesday so I don't think we are close to switching at all!  We have the Graco SnugRide 30.  I'm pretty sure she will outgrow the carrier in height first.  Th

damabo80

Still in the infant seat here. Can't beat the convenience of it. It goes up to 25lb and 30in, so we have a ways to go before he maxes it out. I'll switch when he maxes it.

For DD, I didn't move her until she was 16m and DS was born, so we ne

Nita2603

Infant carrier. He'd be good in there for a while longer, but I plan to switch once the weather is warmer.
