Almost all babies outgrow their seats before reaching the weight limit. If you take the head support (if you're still using it) and the canopy off, feel for the top of the hard shell in the carseat, don't just look at the top because with the cover it can be misleading, then see where the top of LO's head is in the seat. It should be at least one inch below where you feel the top of the shell. That inch is really important because in case of an accident, the neck will extend &amp; the head will go back, if there isn't support there the top of the carseat shell can act as a folcrum point over which the spine can break. Not trying to be an alarmist, just trying to explain the mechanics. And it sounds like LO would be more comfortable in a bigger seat &amp; it would be easier for you to get her in &amp; out of it : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-and-fitting-los-into-the-infant-car-seat#post-449790 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 09:41:02 +0000 Weagle 449790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had this problem with layering and cloth. Maybe our seat is bigger than yours? At this point, you're probably not carrying LO around in the infant seat, so you could move to the convertible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-and-fitting-los-into-the-infant-car-seat#post-449738 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 08:12:47 +0000 pelikila 449738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was never a problem with us but we probably never layered up like you (live in TX). We had a Chicco Keyfit 30 but we also switched to a convertible when my son was around 18 lbs because he liked sitting up more instead of reclining the way the infant seats do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-and-fitting-los-into-the-infant-car-seat#post-449660 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:30:45 +0000 Freckles 449660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is about 18lbs (undressed) and i can no longer put her in cloth diapers when we go out! I have to layer her up now that it's winter, so if i have her in a fleece hoodie, i can barely squeeze her into the seat without worrying that i'm squishing her. We have the Graco SnugRide (22).</p> <p>Does anyone else have this problem? Does this mean i should move her into a convertible soon? </p>
