She's about 29 inches so she could still fit in the infant seat. She's much happier in the convertible though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589857 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 13:12:15 +0000 ChelseaRose 2589857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 9 month old and he's been in a convertible since six months. He's currently 23+ pounds and almost 32 inches, so I couldn't imagine him in an infant right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589845 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 13:02:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2589845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched by 8-9 months, not b/c she outgrew it but she was unhappy in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589831 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:57:16 +0000 peaches1038 2589831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched at 8 months and it's awesome! So much easier to get him in and out and he is much happier in the car now. He's 22# and about 29" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589824 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:55:46 +0000 PinkElephant 2589824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept my kids in the capsule seat until about 18 months. I didn't see any need to move the seat in and out of the car, I just took the girls out the way I would if it were a convertible seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589815 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:48:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2589815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting close. She's 6 months, 20# and 29+". I should switch her soon but it's going to be hard carrying two babies to the car so I'm putting it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589803 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:42:14 +0000 peachykeen 2589803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also switched at 9/10 months for the same reason as @avivoca: . Plus if I just kept the seat in the base it was harder to strap her in than in a bigger/wider convertible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2589793 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:31:57 +0000 avivoca 2589793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched at 9 months. She's not heavy, but I hated carrying her and the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-are-you-to-outgrowing-your-infant-car-seat#post-2588597 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:30:00 +0000 BSB 2588597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My twins are 26.5 and 27.5 inches tall and my keyfit car seats have a max height of 30 inches. I thought about switching to convertible car seat since they were hating the car seat but we were on vacation last week and they hated the convertible seats we used. Yesterday, they had no issues being put in the infant car seat. Maybe they'll be in the infant car seat for a little while. We don't mind carrying them in and out of the car. </p>
