We ordered X's next car seat.
We're not using it yet--maybe some of you more experienced friends can help us out here--
we got a Britax, which we are happy about, but they are huge
(most car seats for the next stage are).
I don't think it will fit backwards in our car.
The specs on X's current car seat (which is her infant-carrier seat): goes up to 30 lbs or 30 inches, whichever comes first. She is currently neither, but almost 30 inches. She is also almost 1, and very much NOT an infant.
The specs on the Britax: backwards up to 35 lbs, or forwards from 1 year and 20 lbs on.
She's not 20 lbs yet.
This is where we run into a little bit of a dilemma.
She could very easily outgrow (lengthwise) her infant seat before she's heavy enough for the Britax (forward facing).
So, which is the lesser of the two evils? Or which would be the safer option? Keep her facing backward in the infant seat she's too long for until she weighs more than 20 lbs? OR put her forward facing in the Britax a few lbs. early?
The best part about the Britax?
It comes in a huge box.
A huge box (caja in spanish) is lots of fun for an almost one-year-old, especially when mama cuts a door and windows in it and it becomes a casa.
in and out
out and in
for an hour or so!
papa didn't fit!
mama did...kind of?
