Hubs does daycare drop off, leaves the car seat, and I do pick-up. I'm not sure what we'll do when he outgrows the infant seat... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858301 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:00:44 +0000 Springtime 858301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a convertible for each car. It's so much more convenient that way since we both do pickups and drop offs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858297 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:59:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 858297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we only have one car :) </p> <p>We will eventually get two, I'm sure, but I think we will keep with just one carseat, since the next car we get will be the family car anyway. I'll be a SAHM, so anytime DH takes the baby anywhere, he would just take my car. If we were both doing drop offs and pick ups or something, we'd get two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858252 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:46:11 +0000 anbanan15 858252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had one infant seat and one base. </p> <p>When we moved DS to the convertible we only had one for the longest time. I would just use DH's car if he wanted to go somewhere when I was at work...easier to juggle the entire car than seats! We eventually got a second car seat for DH's car, but honestly he rarely has used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858224 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:34:09 +0000 Bluebonnet 858224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the infant seat we had one carrier and two bases. Now that LO is on a convertible car seat, we have one for each car.</p> <p>Its much easier to have two carseats than move carseats between two vehicles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858197 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:23:30 +0000 twinmama 858197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the infant seats, we just bought one for each child and kept both in our minivan. We just made sure that the van stayed with the kids, which wasn't a big deal. </p> <p>For the convertibles, we bought a set for each car. Dh's car is our trip car and as the kids get older we are traveling more. We decided it was worth the expense for the added convenience and safety factors of not moving the seats often. We also bought Radian seats that they will be riding in for a very long time, so that was a factor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858184 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:20:59 +0000 Bao 858184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had the infant car seat it was one car seat and two bases, now we have two convertible car seats because we use both cars equally so that would be such a pain to transfer a bulky car seat each time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858179 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:19:45 +0000 lemondrop 858179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, two cars and one car seat. Whoever has the baby has the family car. We use the other car for work only, it's a soft top Jeep Wrangler, so not the safest or most convenient car to use a car seat in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858176 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:18:59 +0000 mrsjyw 858176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep-- needed it, on my wfh days i use my car with LO a lot, and when we head out together as a family we always take dh's car...</p> <p>I got both of our britax advocate/pavilion on NBD for $350!!! :) And my friend gave us a $150 for carseat, so this was well worth it for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858173 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:16:14 +0000 aprk 858173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: infant seat is easy to switch. I don't think we'll have any reason to have two convertibles either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858170 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:15:22 +0000 Ra 858170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One car seat. Two bases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858169 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:15:04 +0000 birdofafeather 858169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just asked this question a couple weeks ago! Most people said one car seat per car: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-convertible-car-seats-one-per-car" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-convertible-car-seats-one-per-car</a></p> <p>But I do think it depends on if you and DH both do pick ups, drop offs or if you have the flexibility to only take the car with the car seat when driving LO. We opted to get two seats and I found them on NBD for about $60 less per seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858168 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:15:02 +0000 MaisyMay 858168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one infant car seat and one base. I'd just use the seat belt when putting her in my car. Her car seat stayed w/ her at daycare. Now that LO is in her convertible seats, we bought 3! One for my car, one for DH's, and one for daycare since they go out 2-3 times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858145 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:09:01 +0000 MarieJ 858145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but for us it was a waste. For the next child, we'll have one carseat, but two bases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858127 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:04:58 +0000 rachiecakes 858127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, two Britax Marathons, two cars. DH is a WAHD and I'm a WOHM, we're both out and about with DS that we really couldn't take a seat in and out of our small cars over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858126 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:04:54 +0000 yin 858126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one car seat because DH doesn't take LO in his two seat convertible. We did buy a second one earlier this week so that my FIL can take LO out and let me rest during my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858124 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:04:18 +0000 Lindsay05 858124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had only one infant seat but got two convertable seats. We sacrificed purchasing a super expensive seat for two cheaper seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858116 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:02:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 858116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. she doesn't go in my husband's car. one baby seat and base, and now, one convertible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858112 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:01:05 +0000 betsyboop 858112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: Do you switch back and forth often? I'm wondering if it will be too cumbersome to switch from car to car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858108 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:59:57 +0000 aprk 858108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Two cars, one carseat and one base. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-carseat-for-each-car-you-own#post-858105 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:59:21 +0000 betsyboop 858105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are going to be getting a second car but are undecided as to whether or not we should get a second carseat. If you have more than one car, do you have separate carseats for each car? </p>
