windchime`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll I`m trying to decide whether to buy the convertible carseat that goes up to 40 lbs or the one that goes up to 65 lbs (to avoid having to buy another one later), but I have no idea what kids typically weigh when they`re older... what was it like for you? Comments are much appreciated!
(Baby poll by windchime, 211 days ago)
Used the 40 lb seat, then went straight to booster.
Used the 40 lb seat, child became too heavy for it but was not yet ready for booster.
Went straight from infant seat to convertible with 65 lb limit - but it was overkill.
Got the 65 lb seat and needed the extra weigh allowance!

I would go with the 65lb seat or even one that goes to 80lbs. It is substantially safer for your child to be in a 5 pt harness as long as possible. They say the best is to keep them until 80lbs/8 years. I actually had the infant seat. Then i got a convertible seat that went to 40lbs and now i use a Britax Regent that goes to 80lbs. It is a very comfortable seat and far safer than a car`s seatbelt for my 47lb 4 yr old. :-)

I got the 50 pound seat & plan on getting a booster later. In TX, the new law coming into effect requires the child to be 8 years old or 4`9`` before getting out of a booster.
