I need to buy a carseat quick. Just discovered my 5 mo. old son has outgrown his infant seat/carrier!?
He is 18.8 lbs and 28 inches. Went to look at carseats cause we knew he would outgrow it soon and ended up coming home empty handed, unhappy with the selection at babies-r-us, only to find out his infant seat only goes up to 26" (not 29" like others). Need advice. I would like to have one of the ones that turn sideways allowing you to put the child in easier, but the Zeus by Combi is only rear facing up to 22 lbs, not sure if that will accomidate him long enough. Have also looked at the Orbit toddler seat that has the turn feature. Don't want to spend too much!
Infant seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child has less than one inch of plastic shell above his head.
Infants then move to a rearfacing (RF) convertible seats and MUST remain RF until at least 1 year AND 20lbs, but should remain RF until the limits of the seat (30-35lbs in the US).
We have 2 Britax Marathons and LOVE them! It is very easy to put a child in a RF convertible seat especially if the seat is installed in the center of the back seat. I just put DD in, sit on the seat and buckle her in.
Stay away from the Alpha Omega/Safety First 3-in-1 style seats. The Alpha Omega 3-in-1 seats only harness to 40lbs and most 40lb weight limit seats are outgrown before a child is mature enough for a booster seat. They also have very low top harness slots and are outgrown by height at around age 2-3.
