It was only 10$ more when I bought mine so well worth the extra $. We used the zip out canopy a ton and the boot was great for holding in the blankets when bundling DD up for winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273208 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 20:11:58 +0000 MaryM 2273208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've registered for surge. </p> <p>I wanted to go gender neutral not because of our baby's gender, but because we're registering for the liteway stroller too and I didn't want DH feeling odd pushing around a girly colored stroller if they matched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273191 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:56:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 2273191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the green and dark grey. I registered for the red one but then I saw a mom with a newborn in the red one and assumed it was a boy based on that! It was dumb, but I exchanged it for the green because I was having a girl :silly: We will use it if we ever have a boy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273187 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:54:46 +0000 blackbird 2273187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: ours is gray. We use it for 6 months then move to foonfs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273170 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:36:53 +0000 Caly 2273170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I honestly didn't think much of getting the same seat for both. We were team green and just knew we wanted something neutral. We also never pay attention to who used which seat last, we just adjust the straps each time and it's never a problem or a hassle. They're relatively the same size and at 20 months they're still using them (they're approx 22 lbs each). </p> <p>@twodoghouse: Thanks! A friend made them &amp; I love them :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273151 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:17:29 +0000 FannyMae 2273151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably going to rent one (or maaaybe buy one) as I picked up a bugaboo bee adaptor on ebay for $1 hee heee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273150 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:16:24 +0000 sleepybear 2273150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the gray one (I think it's Sedona). I liked the red, but they didn't have it at BuyBuyBaby when we went to get it. And we kept LO in the Keyfit until he was 6 months - he'd probably still fit now at a year but we were getting ready for a cross country move and I thought the convertible would be more comfortable for the drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273149 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:14:30 +0000 twodoghouse 2273149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Alice was a pound larger at birth (which is a big difference when you're talking 4.5 and 5.5 lbs!). She stayed about a pound bigger through almost 6 months when he surpassed her. Now he's about 4 lbs bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273145 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:12:14 +0000 BSB 2273145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Were they different sizes from the beginning or was that something you did after a month or two? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273144 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:08:58 +0000 twodoghouse 2273144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: We didn't think about it too hard - I just wanted two different colors. However, they were different sizes and it was easier to have different colored seats so we knew this was for A and this is for B. But we also had soft toys attached to the bars for a long time, so there are other ways to differentiate who's is whose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273140 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:58:53 +0000 MrsTal 2273140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the legend and I love it! </p> [attach=1532/15/ntnxa5.600x573.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273137 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:54:06 +0000 BSB 2273137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: @Caly: Twin moms! I think you both had b/g twins. What made you decide to go with same color car seats or different color car seats. I was thinking having them both the same would avoid grabbing the wrong seat. But I could see if one baby is growing larger than the other and we have to adjust the straps that it might be a pain to remember which one has the seat adjusted. What do you think?<br /> ETA: oh, @Caly:, I see that you have two girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273133 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:49:39 +0000 BSB 2273133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: @matador84: Now, I want to return my Chicco Sedona and get the magic.

I did love the actual function of the seat though! Just not the color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273093 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:02:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 2273093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the lemon/limonata.

We got it at Babies R Us. With DS1 we quit using it at about 6 months when he could sit in a high chair. With DS2 we stopped using it as a car seat at around 2 months because he hated riding in the car. We thought maybe switching him to a convertible would be more comfortable. Nope. He still hated it and eventually grew out of it. My boys were really heavy so it was extra heavy with them in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273071 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:21:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2273071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another question:</p> <p>How long did you carry your babies in the Keyfit before you transferred to a convertible? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273066 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:12:07 +0000 Caly 2273066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Green &amp; dark grey </p> [attach=3358/15/ntnsc7.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-a-chicco-keyfit-infant-seat#post-2273063 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:06:42 +0000 BabyTsMom 2273063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the granita color, it's like a deep red/maroon.
