Personally, that this age, I would let him sleep in whatever he sleeps in best. I wouldn't worry about developing bad habits until they are at least 6 months old.
I didn't see your birth announcement...Congratulations!

Re: Anyone whose baby won't sleep in anything but a car seat ??
my neice would only sleep in a car seat.
the way my sister got her transfered into crib was by putting the car seat in the crib while she slept in it. Then adventually she was able to just put my neice in crib with out car seat.
eta: also my sister put a wedge under sheet, so that way my neice was on an incline in crib. They get used to being up in car seat.

I ended up having him sleep in the bouncer in the co sleeper for 2 months and then took the bouncer out and added the incline to the co sleeper. Then moved him to the crib. It went very smooth.

I would try to get her out of the carseat sooner, rather than later. DD slept in her bouncy seat from day 1, and at her well visit last week the ped was concerned that she is developing torticollis. It's severe enough that we are starting PT on Friday.
Not to scare you, just something for you to think about.
