It was our big gift from our shower hostesses!
Full disclosure, your wondering is getting me excited!

We were gifted our infant car seat, plus an extra base. We bought 3 convertible car seats ourselves. One for each of our cars, one for travel/grandma's car.
We are buying a new infant car seat for LO#2 though. Will likely buy boosters, and convertibles in the next year or two as well!

The infant seat was a very generous gift from my aunt. We bought our convertible seats, though!

We borrowed the infant seat from a friend. She only used it for 4 months for a friend and we had bought it for them.
We bought both convertibles seats. Actually, three, since we bought one for my parents to have as well.

Gift from the inlaws, who also bought the stroller frame and BOB adapter!
We've since purchased two convertibles on our own.

my in-laws bought our infant seat off our registry. I have a feeling either they or my parents will ask if they can buy the convertible seat as a 1-year bday present, but we haven't even talked about moving her up to that yet

My parents bought our Chicco infant seat reluctantly. They really wanted to buy the crib but MIL bought that. We bought 4 Britax convertibles.

Both. My older brother and sil gifted us the infant seat with base for our baby shower. We bought her convertible. My other brother just gifted us the harnessed booster which DD 1 will be using soon. Then when DD 2 outgrows the infant (hopefully when the weather is warmer!) she'll use the convertible.

I would've put it on our registry, and then purchased myself if still on there post shower. However, BBB had a marked down Cybex Anton 2 for under $300 so I ised a coupon and scooped it up last weekend!

I've wondered this as well. DH and I discussed it last night and figured we'd buy the bedroom furniture, the car seat and the stroller, and register for everything else.

Our infant seat we are getting from my SIL. She has a 7 month old currently, and have never been in any accidents, and it's not expired. We will be registering for a convertible car seat as well.

@HLK208: why so many??
So far we have had 5. A infant, convertible and harness booster for ours. And a infant and convertible for grandparents.

On the day DH went to tell his boss we were losing R (he had taken the day off work but stopped in to let him know) there was apparently a very large pink wrapped baby gift from the boss on his desk. The boss took it back once he found out, but DH says he's pretty sure it was the car seat. So I think we would have been gifted it. Wondering now if he'll get it again?

Our infant carrier was a hand me down from my sister, but we bought the convertibles.

We bought them. I had picked out a pretty specific seat which was more expensive than I thought necessary for a gift. I wouldn't have wanted someone to spend that amount of money on something for us when there are other options for less. So, since I was being picky, I paid for it too.

I picked gifted, though technically it's a generous loan from a friend whose kid just outgrew it. We'll return it once our LO is too big for it.

We bought our oldest sons infant carrier because we had to have it for our home study to be approved.
When we found out we were having twins we were gifted another infant carrier and a bigger britax convertible so our we bumped our older son into the convertible and the twins had the carriers. Then we bought our own convertibles when the twins outgrew their carriers.
With our daughter we skipped the infant carrier and just bought her a convertible.
So we bought several and we were gifted two.
