Maybe STM or TTMs can answer this for me:
So I know it makes economical sense to get a convertible car seat that can be used with a fairly large child, but they are so bulky. It's pretty common to carry around a new baby in the carseat while they're still teeny and sleeping a lot. What do you guys recommend? I'm fairly petite and even infant car seats are heavy even when their empty. Help!

We used the infant seat for almost the whole first year - DS wasn't too big, and I loved the convenience. We had a base for each car, and just the one seat. Graco snugride. We didn't do the snugride 35 because there's no way you're going to want to car

We got the Snugride 35 last time, with three bases (me, DH, and my Mom). We'll use that again this time. If I had it to do over, I would have gotten the smaller infant seat. We didn't come anywhere NEAR the height or weight limit for our seat.

We used both, and will again for this LO.
It's more convenient to be able to strap LO in while you are still inside and carry them in. I prefer to be able to carry them in and out of places in the infant seat. I do think I will be wearing this on
