DS is 6 months and just on the cusp of outgrowing his KeyFit 30 (granted he's in the 90th+ percentile, so he's pretty massive). He still falls asleep in it in the car and we bring it into the nursery to finish off the nap or click into the stroller to walk around. SUPER essential for us IMO. Sad DS is such a beast and is outgrowing it sooner than anticipated.
-
We had a Chicco Keyfit 30 and switched to a convertible just before her first birthday. She hadn't technically outgrown it but she was starting to protest going in and just seemed uncomfortable. We hadn't taken the seat out of the base in months, though (except when she wasn't with us and we needed more space in the back seat -- I do miss being able to do that now).

Britax b-safe. We used it until about 12 months
-
Yes, chicco keyfit - loved it! We used it for 7 months.
It was a lifesaver, especially for our cold Canadian winter.
-
Sill using our keyfit at 15 mo (she's a peanut).
-
DS used infant seat until he was one. It was easy to transpot him in an infant seat when he fell asleep in the car or to bring him to places.
-
We skipped it and never missed it. We also never got a stroller, I just wore her. So that may be a reason a convertible worked so well for us. It would have been a pain for us to carry the seat around without a stroller to push it in.
-
Yes, we used it until 12 months. It was so convenient to just snap right into our stroller, or to keep her bundled up and sleeping after a car ride. I think I actually used it more on the stroller (since we have a walking commute to daycare) than in the car.
-
Yes! So huge to be able to take the baby out of the car without waking them up! It was absolutely worth it for us. LO1 used our Chicco KeyFit 30 for 10 months or so and now we'll use it for LO2. And I second the winter babies thing. I would feel guilty either running the car long enough to make a convertible car seat warm or putting baby in a cold seat. Being able to take it out of the base and carry the whole thing inside was crucial for my November and soon to be February babies.
-
Yes and I loveeed it. We switched to the convertible at 9.5 months. We still could have used it a bit longer because it wasn't outgrown but it was getting heavy and we already had a convertible purchased so we made the change. I wanted to make it through winter before switching because it was so much easier to bundle baby inside before we went out.
-
Yes, but I didn't need it. Then again, we don't live in a car culture. He outgrew it at 8/9 months.
-
yes but stopped using around 7 months. He was a really tall baby.
-
Yep and it has been worth the extra cost. I got a convertible seat for my car but we are still using the infant seat in DHs car at almost 11 months. We have a Chicco keyfit and a small baby so although it was getting too heavy for me to lug back and forth, he's still within the height and weight. I think we'll get another month or two out of it and save it for baby #2.

@PawPrints: Really, weird for a stroller in a grocery store?? Maybe it's where you're living, but in Boston, all the moms use their stroller as a grocery cart. All of the strollers have the huge storage space so I usually can did almost a week's worth of groceries just at the bottom. I don't think it's weird and even if other people did, I wouldn't let their opinions bother me. We also used a stroller a lot in the beginning so it was so easy to just do the snap and click and move the baby to the stroller from the car without unbuckling him. This was great in the winter because we didn't have to worry about exposing him too much to the elements and just kept him bundled in the carseat.
