Next time we should install earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371758 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 19:41:37 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2371758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 37 weeks as I was being sent to the hospital!

But we had planned to have it in well before. We would have by 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371440 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 00:42:38 +0000 birdofafeather 2371440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I traveled 3 hours from home at 37 weeks (both times!) and then we took it out. For DD2, put it back in when my water broke before we went to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371438 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 00:38:27 +0000 mrszack 2371438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a RCS on Tuesday and we're planning on installing it this weekend. This is #3 for us, so I guess we waited until the last minute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371426 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 23:17:46 +0000 xInfinity 2371426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I put it in about a week before my due date with LO1 and will do the same this time. Didn't want to do it too early in case we got into an accident and would have had to replace a brand new carseat that hadn't even held a baby yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371393 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 21:35:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2371393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably like a few weeks out? Maybe not even? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371392 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 21:32:07 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2371392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 30 weeks.

I will just make sure that we have it around and ready to go. I can't remember where we stored the bases so we will need to get those out and put them in a convenient place. I'm not sure if we'll install prior to going into labor since Dh knows how to do it on his own at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371380 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 21:00:56 +0000 catomd00 2371380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day we came home from the hospital! DH had to do it. We weren't prepared for her to come 2 weeks early, whoops!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371375 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 20:55:46 +0000 Eko 2371375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my son was born and we were still in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371340 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 19:54:42 +0000 Ms. RV 2371340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>37 weeks in my car, 39 weeks in OH's car (which is the car she came home in... we didn't own in until 38 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371304 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 18:56:41 +0000 creativemomma15 2371304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it the day before DS came home from the NICU... With DD I honestly don't remember if we did it before we had her or not. We will probably start hauling the car seat in the car around 36/37 weeks but I don't think we will install it until we have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371291 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 18:28:46 +0000 Charm54 2371291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at 38.5 when we were going OOT in case I had the baby while we were away. It's super easy to install so Dh could have just installed it before we came home from the hospital if we had to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371286 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 18:20:18 +0000 AB810 2371286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stuck the seat and base in the trunk around 38 weeks when I started having false labor. I think I fully installed the seat around 39 weeks (for baby 2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371263 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:27:09 +0000 Truth Bombs 2371263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at 37 weeks for number 2 (after I was put on bed rest for blood pressure issues) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371254 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:13:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 2371254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did E's at about 35 weeks.

We installed it the night before we went in to have the baby. I wasn't that worried about it because it could have been installed in the hospital parking lot if needed. I guess we are last minute people :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371233 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 16:36:40 +0000 pastemoo 2371233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband installed it after my son was born, literally drove home to take a shower, then installed the seat and came back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-install-the-infant-car-seat#post-2371229 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 16:27:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2371229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keybee: yeah I suppose I could just practice anyway. It's the same seat we used last time but different car, and we didn't have latch last time, so practically a brand new installation. </p>
