Either way, I moved LO to a convertible at 7 months. He was under the 30 pound weight limit but he was tall and obviously getting cramped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-weight-limit#post-985647 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 16:41:06 +0000 ninja 985647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure on this one, but I know my LO was too heavy for me to lug around far before he reached the "weight limit". It may have something to do with the rating of the harness in the event of a crash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-weight-limit#post-985646 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 16:40:46 +0000 chopsuey 985646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the car seat.<br /> We have a Peg Perego and the height/weight limit is 30/30<br /> Just kidding.<br /> I have no idea why they have a weight limit.. :)<br /> I know it's hard for me to carry my 22lber in his car seat though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-weight-limit#post-985626 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 16:30:49 +0000 Katrocap 985626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may be a naive question, but why do infant car seats have weight limits? Is it the weight limit of the handle of the carrier? I understand height limits because the baby's head could be too near the top of the shell. Our infant seat goes up to 22 lbs and my 7 month old just reached that weight. I am NOT AT ALL going to compromise his safety, I'm just wondering what the weight limit is really for. </p>
