If you have 2 cars...do you have 2 convertable car seats?

Or do you switch it out each time? Thanks:O)

  • We have a convertible seat in each car.

  • we have two, too difficult to take it from one car to another.  I hate putting strapping them in, I'm always scratching  myself up or getting my hand hurt, and when I finally get it tight enough, I don't ever want to take it out, in fear, i can't get it that tight again.
  • I actually have 3--one for me, one for DH, and one for my parents. She is in daycare and anyone of us could be picking her up. It would be too much of a hassle to take it out everyday.  But that is just me. 
  • I have 4. Now way I'm moving them if I don't have to.

  • We have one.  But, I SAH and do most of the driving. It will be a pain to move to DH's car if we ever have to do it, because his car doesn't have LATCH.
  • We have two.  DH takes DD to daycare in the mornings and I pick her up.  We work different schedules and moving a car seat back and forth would be a major pain. 
  • We'll be starting to use ours next week and we have 2, one for each car.

  • When we switch to the convertible, yes..we will have one for each car
  • We aren't using a convertible seat yet, but when we do, we will have one for each vehicle.
  • One in each car.  DD is in daycare.  DH drops her off and I pick her up.  It would be a major pain to switch the carseat every day!

  • when we get one, we are only getting one.  I SAH so DD is usually only in my car.  I can probably count on one hand the number of times she has been in DH's car since she was born.  If she was in both cars on a more regular basis, we'd get two.
  • HECK NO!  That would be WAY too expensive.  We don't even do that with one child....we definately won't do that with three little kids!!!!
  • We haven't made the switch yet, but we are getting two.

  • we do not but only because my husband leaves before me and comes home later than me, he never picks the baby up. On the weekends, we usually drive my truck.

    We do have a carseat in each grams car though since they each watch him twice a week

  • We only have one car.  Whenever we take DS somewhere, we just always use the same care.
  • Yes, there's no way I would be moving it from car to car. It's hard to get it installed properly and at the right angle.
  • Right now we have 1 because I SAH, but we will be getting one for DH's car, since he has an SUV and we will need his car for trips (my ILs live out-of-state). If we both had cars the same size, we probably wouldn't get another.
  • I just bought a convertible seat for my car.  DH has only picked up DS in his car from day care maybe 5 times, and he'd just snap the infant seat in his car.  We didn't even have the extra base - would have been a waste of money and they work without it.  Anyway, if DH wants a seat for his car, he can go buy one.

  • We have 3, I have 1 in my car, DH has 1 in his car and my parents have one in their car because my mom watches him durring the day. There is no way I want to switch them out all the time.
  • We do. But eventually, we'll just have the "kid car" when there are more kids and we'll put both of these in the same car. We figured in the meantime we'll have one in each car to give us more options.

  • Right now we only have one. We haven't installed it yet, but I'd really rather not have to buy a second car seat. We'll just try to stick to me driving when DS is with us.

    My parents watch him sometimes, but my mom has already said that she will buy her own car seat.

  • I SAH, so just one.When I go back to work we will buy a second one for Hs car.
  • We have 4...two in each car!

  • sorry, i meant to say we have one for each car.
  • We have just one. We switch it if we need to. But I only work 1 morning a week. So its not a big deal. Maybe when I am working more or we have more money we can buy another one. But for now, it is working just fine.
  • Right now we have one in each car... when the new baby comes we will only have carseats in one car and that will be the only car they ride in.  Since I SAH for the most part, it won't be a issue.  DH will take his car to work and that will be carseat free.  If he is ever home with the kids, then I will leave the "baby car" with him.
