I have been thinking the same thing. My OB told me yesterday that if I were to go into labor he would do nothing to stop it but if the baby were born today the chances of him/her coming home with us would be very slim. I am thinking I will wait 2 or 3 more weeks then install the base.

Installing ahead of time is a good idea....forgive me...I am sensitive about this topic...If you have never installed a car seat before....you may want to look into it and read the instructions or take a local car seat course. Most people install the seats/bases incorrectly. Where I live you can have it inspected which is a good idea...that way if you install the seat ahead of time & have it inspected you still have time to correct the install. My DH is a firefighter here and we know the importance of the car seat and proper installation and use! Words of advice, ALWAYS strap your baby in properly, rear facing infant seat with the carrier handle & sun canopy DOWN!! VERY IMPORTANT yuor baby's life could depend on it!
Re: Question...
I'm about 35 weeks, but I'm being induced at 39 weeks because of the gestational diabetes.
I was just telling DH today that we needed to get the car seat out of the attic to clean and install...we'll probably get around to that this weekend.
