Like 2 months. DS HATED being in his car seat so I always took him out and carried him inside or put him in the ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557707 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:38:37 +0000 runnerd 2557707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped carrying it around 9 months probably BUT our guy didn't weigh 19lbs until around 11-12 mo!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557690 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:24:40 +0000 Ms. RV 2557690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 9 months and since about 5 months we stopped taking the bucket unless there is no place for her to be (like a restaurant), running an errand and don't feel like wearing her (bucket goes in the cart basket), or she just fell asleep. She was about 15 lbs then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557676 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:12:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2557676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 18 pounds and I'm over it. If I wasn't already carrying my toddler I'd have switched her already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557663 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:04:50 +0000 MaisyMay 2557663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1, around 5 months. She was near 20 pounds. </p> <p>LO2 is 8 weeks and already 16 pounds, so I would be surprised if he makes it to 5 months in his bucket seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557660 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:02:22 +0000 justjules 2557660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 5-6months. He was probably 17/16lbs. If he falls asleep I will bring it to our apartment but it's quite a ways from the parking lot and up a flight of stairs. I've almost pulled out my back making that treck many times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557656 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:58:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2557656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like carrying it now. I leave it in the car about 80% of the time. DD is a little under 18 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557641 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:43:21 +0000 PinkElephant 2557641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kidfos were tiny, but I always found that thing awkward. I think I stopped as soon as they were easy to carry a bit more upright with one arm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557620 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:20:03 +0000 travellingbee 2557620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll add that I think we switched DS1 over to a convertible at about 10 months and 20lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-did-you-stop-carrying-the-bucket-seat#post-2557618 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:18:35 +0000 travellingbee 2557618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 is almost 5 months and a little over 19lbs. My arm and back are killing me carrying the car seat in and out of daycare. :( Ugh. Wondering when others stopped carrying their LO because the weight was too much to handle. (I have a bad back and I'm kind of a wuss anyway, so I'm sure others could carry this big boy around no problem!) </p>
