He was a few days shy of 9 months... He could have still fit...but I got a bigger car, and DH had mine... still does. LOL.

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

If yoru baby is tall, you may have to change it sooner than you think. I thought we had till 30 lbs, but we also only had till 30" on our car seat. So when we hit 31" we had to switch. I forget when that was, maybe around 6m?

10 months (but, we had stopped carrying it around 7 months or so).

We actually still have it in DH's car because DS technically hasn't outgrown it - he's only in there for short trips though.

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

question....DD is 7.5 mos and I recently borrowed a friends bigger infant car seat b/c I was not ready to do away with the snap and go. DD is 22lbs, 29 inches...so she still fits in the Graco 30 or 35 I just got. It's REALLY heavy though and I'm thinking I may be ready to make the switch...but do I have to put her in a heavy winter jacket now? I just put her in something lightweight now b/c I have the bundle me.
Is a winter jacket annoying on a little one?

Just shy of 9 months. We were going on a long road trip and wanted him to be comfy. He would have fit in it still at a year. He was only 29 inches and 21 lbs...He is so much happier in his big seat...

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

DD is 10mos and she's still in it. I don't care, I'm using this thing as long as possible. She's 18.5lbs and 30inches, but my car seat goes until 32inches.

10 months. DD would have still fit but because it was winter and her jacket was bulky we made the switch.

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

DS was in the convertible at almost 8mo. he was getting too heavy for me to carry in the infant seat and he was just approaching the weight limit anyway.

9 months. the seat said it went up to 30 lbs, but he looked so cramped in there and would scream everytime I put him in it, it was too narrow. he likes the convertible much better.

DS is 9 mos and still in the infant carrier. He's about 19 lbs and I have no intention of putting in the other car seat until the weather gets nicer. I just feel like its easier in the infant carrier in the winter time.

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

DS was too tall around 3.5 or 4 months (?) so we made the switch.

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

11 months, and I wish I waited another month or two - she was below the weight limit, but getting close to the height.
I LOVED the infant seat, and I still use it in the house when I need to keep her secure when I need to do something like clean or shower. She loves it too - I put her in it with books or a bottle and she's so happy. I also loved that if she fell asleep in the car in it, I could bring her inside sleeping. OH, how I miss it!

Re: At what age did you switch carseats?

My DD was in it until almost 13 months. We have the car seat that goes from 32 inches to 32 lbs. So she still had room ince she didn't even reach the 32 inches till 18 months.

Almost 1 year-they were under the weight requirements so I just left them in it.
