WDYT? Baseless Infant Car Seat?

in Pregnant after a Loss

We got a carseat that includes a base, but, in the reviews, someone mentioned that it's nice because it's also one that doesn't NEED a base to function/be safe, so it was nice to use in multiple vehicles.

I'm not sure if I really feel that safe with it, but I know so many people who have infant seats that don't have a base and they're all fine. So, what does everyone else think?

    I thought that they all needed a base, this is news to me.

    The base is so so so much safer.

    We used our infant car seat a few times while traveling and had to install it without a base in cabs/rental cars and it was really hard to get it secure and tight.

    I am confused by your question.. your comes with a base but you don't have to use the base?? I like the ones with a base so I can just get other bases for family members and only have one carrier

    I did this once or twice with DS and his carrier when someone else was driving and I didn't have the base. I thought it was a pain because in my opinion in order to get the car seats really tight you need to push down a little as the seat belt tightens, and I always try to shake it to make sure it's really snug, so I would install the seat and then put DS in it. It was secure enough, but I always felt more comfortable with the base.

    The reviewer pointed out that it was nice to not have to move a base from car to car, like, if she was riding with a friend or something and didn't want to move the base out of her car for one afternoon.

    My friend uses hers to run to the store if her husband has the base.  She said it's great to have if there's an emergency...but they use the base on a daily basis. 

    I think it's a good idea that someone came out with...but i feel safer with the base!
