At 9 months. I don't remember her weight, but I know she was 3/4 inch away from the height max.

I think he was about 20-22 pounds. We were in an apt., though, so even though he was heavy it was easier to deal with the carrier than carrying him in my arms up and down the stairs - I was afraid I'd drop him.

DS is going to be 11 weeks and I don't know how much longer he will last in there!! It's so heavy! I will probably try to keep him in there till 4 or 5 months if I can.

DS was 7 months, 23lbs when we stopped using the infant carrier. He was like your little one 16lbs at 10 weeks, but I liked the convienence of the infant carrier.

I never carried it by the handle though, we always carried it with 2 hands in order to distribute the weight better and spare our backs unnecessary pain! And I never carried him farther than the car to the house...otherwise he went right into the snap and go or shopping cart.

ETA: with the winter coming, you will be happy to have him in the infant carrier, the bundle me is an AMAZING invention....now I have to fight with DS to put his jacket on!

nevermind - I thought you meant a carrier like a Bjorn. I couldn't carry that thing when DS was 11lbs at 7 weeks, I don't know how you ladies do it!

He was in the regular car seat in my car at 5 mos, DS's car at 7 mos.

DS is 7.5 mos and about 18-19 lbs and it's a struggle.

We're probably going to retire it in the next week or 2.
