Is your LO in an infant car seat or have you switched to a convertible?

Hunter's still in the carseat. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for sales on Britax convertibles, though!

Orion is very long in the torso, the infant seat was squishing him uncomfortably so we switched him in one vehicle about 2 months ago and in the other a month ago.

I keep thinking about switching but he sleeps so well in the car and during errands. I love that he will just sleep the whole time when I need to go shopping.

Frankie is still in the infant car seat. We've been looking at convertible car seats for a while and will probably buy one in the next month or so.

We just switched a couple days ago. I never really carried him in the infant seat anymore because he's so stinking heavy. He likes the convertible better because he can sit up a little more.

We switched maybe 1.5 or 2 months ago, Brendan is very long and he was whining from being uncomfortable in the infant seat.

I switched to the convertible at about 4 months actually... I hated carrying him around in it, and I love my Ergo, so I use that

The girls are still in their infant seats. We're keeping them in there until after they turn a year. Mostly because it is easier to carry both of them at the same time and they are contained while getting Olivia in the van.

Nathan is still in the infant seat. He's getting too long for it but I'm going to wait until I get his official measurement at the Drs. next month before making any decisions.

Morgan has been in the convertiable for over a week now. She was just too heavy to carry around in the infant carrier and ours only went up to 22 lbs, which she is almost at.

Still in the infant seat here..but I'm thinking about switching her soon. I usually take her out of it whenever we go somewhere anyway...I just haven't got around to looking for a convertible seat yet.

Chloe is still in the infant seat. She's just a little peanut, still has probably 5lbs to go to hit the 22lb limit.
