infant car seat unless baby fits the height or weight limit. get a convertible that faces back mine goes from 5-100 lbs and switches positions. and i dont use my carseat to carry my baby around in i take him out. and in ohio its a 500 $ fine first time if you child isnt in proper.

the only reason i would get an infant car seat is because you can carry that around with you when you`re out and about and not have to wake baby up. but if that`s not an issue, i don`t see the point of having an infant car seat before a convertible.

do you still have the infant seat??? if so i would wait and see and then get a convertable one when you need one. If you don`t have the infant one, maybe just go straight to the convertable. We are using a convertible for julianna now and are going to use her infant seat for the new baby.

The convertible will be fine...although, my hospital required an infant carrier when leaving the hospital. Double check with yours..you could always barrow one for the ride home!

I tried to bypass the infant seat by using the convertible , and I just went a couple of days ago to buy one bc it was too hard. Taking her anywhere when it`s cold really sucks bc you have to unwrap her before putting her in, and just imagine if it`s raining or snowing. If you have the infant seat you can put blankets all around her inside where it`s nice and warm, and they have that nice cover that can protect them from the wind and rain.

I think you will be fine with a convertible one. I only used the infant one for 6 months..but I loved the convience of snapping it in and out of car onto the stroller.

oh and when I say too big.. I know he was in the weight limit brackets but he looked squished and uncomfortable.. I had the Graco Safeseat that goes up to 30lbs even...but that`s what a meant. I`m almost certain I`m destined to have big babies as I was 8.12 lbs and my husband was 11.4lbs!!.. My 9 neices and nephews have been on the larger side also.. advice would be great, thanks!
