He still uses the infant seat in my car. He is 18.5 lbs and 27". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293426 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 12:57:01 +0000 loveisstrange 293426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing it at 6 months. She's about 20lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293421 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 12:53:59 +0000 Weagle 293421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll probably wait until Christmas and ask grandparents for a seat as a Christmas present :) She'll be almost 8 months then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293318 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:24:59 +0000 Honeybee 293318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: We also waited until 1 year with DD. She was little, and she still fit in the infant seat until 12 months.</p> <p>I think we're going to switch DS over at 9 months, though. He's a tank! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293294 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:13:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 293294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is tiny (15 LBS at 6.5 months) so we'll probably keep her in the Chicco infant seat for awhile longer. If anything, she'll probably outgrow my height way before she outgrows it by weight, since she's a long baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293015 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:56:27 +0000 cvbee 293015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 'little' guy is probably 18 pounds now and I still use the bucket. I pride myself on being strong, so I am maybe foolish, but I do carry it from car to house and from car to grocerycart or into wherever we are going if I will need him to have a seat there. </p> <p>My seat is good til 22 or 24 pounds (I'll have to look again) and I plan to use it til then (which might be soon, as he's been a steady 2 pounds a month boy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-293009 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:52:59 +0000 MamaG 293009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the minority, we waited until a year. Our Britax convertible seat did not fit well in our car rear facing so we waited until she was a year and could be forward facing. Our LO is on the large side, but we had the Graco Snugride35. She was 32 inches (the max height) and 29 pounds when we took her out of it at a year. Very rarely did we carry her around in the bucket after she was able to sit independently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292995 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:42:52 +0000 regberadaisy 292995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 4.5 months now and was 26.5" at her 4month check up. She's about 2" from the top of the Chicco now. So I'd imagine def by the time she's 6 months since she's growing an average of 1"+ a month. I already ordered a Britax when there was a good sale when they were phasing out the old model! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292993 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:41:06 +0000 chopsuey 292993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 7-8 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292987 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:24:37 +0000 looch 292987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months...would have done it sooner but I was late in ordering it and it took awhile to arrive.</p> <p>We did visit my parents when my son was 6 months and he rode comfortably in his convertible then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292986 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:24:21 +0000 tequiero21 292986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm curious about this. we have both infant and convertible and their legs are sticking out of the infant, so wondering when i need to change.... they are both 5 months and over 17 pounds and 27 inches... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292985 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:22:47 +0000 autumnlove 292985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched LO to a convertible seat at 7 months and 17 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-lo-to-the-convertible-car-seat#post-292984 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:21:29 +0000 Nskillet 292984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a peanut still! Just under 14lbs at her 4 month check up 2 weeks ago! Wondering when you all installed the convertible car seat? We bought ourselves 2 Britax Roundabouts and are considering installation for DH. I find myself always keeping her carseat in the car now (Chicco) because I find it's a hassle to take in and out of daycare/the house now. </p>
