Carseat question

in February 2012 Moms
Is anyone here not using an infant carrier carseat and just using convertible? I'm wondering if the hospital is going to give us crap about just walking out w/ the kiddo.  I've learned how to use the Moby and am taking it w/ me.  Just wondering how others are doing it.

    We are using an infant carseat. My issue with the covertible carseat was that if she is on the smaller side she won't properly fit in it. So we opted for the infant one. Our hospital won't let us leave without her being in the carseat...we have to bring it up to the room.

    I don't think your hospital will stop you from taking your baby in your arms unless they have a policy that checks car seats. Our birthing center does car seat checks to make sure babies are buckled in properly, but besides that I carry LO everywhere--so much easier since she is so light and the car seat is on the bigger side!

    hmm...well, im not bringing the convertible up.  I suppose they can come out to the car to check it and check her in there.  I had it installed by a police officer who was all certified and shiz.  making me take it out would just defeat all that.

    We used a convertible with DS1.
    it's my hospital's policy that mom doesn't walk out, I was in a wheelchair with the baby. A nurse took us to the exit and waited with us while DH pulled up the car.
    She left after we put DS into the car seat.

    We're skipping the infant car seat.  When we were discharged the nurse said we had to take baby out in the car seat and I told her we were using a convertible and it's not made to snap in and out of the car, so they ended up going out to the car to make sure we had her strapped into it properly.

    Hosptials will not let you leave with the baby unless you have an appropriately secured carseat.  If you dont have an infant carseat to carry in, they will walk out to check sure the baby is securely fastened in a convertible carseat in your car.

    When we had our son on Feb 6th, they wheeled me down to the car with my baby in my arms.  Husband had went to go get the car first.  They didn't require us to bring the car seat up, but rather brought us to the car seat. (We delivered at Kaiser Hospital)
