Did your LO use their infant car seat past one year?

    K's 8.5 months and we're still using the convertible! But I usually just leave it in the car/base and put her in the car. I just find it more convenient. On the rare occasions she's fallen asleep, I still keep the stroller adapter or I can try to move her in the house. We got our convertible car seat already too, so I might set it up in DH's car soon.

    I wish we could have used it longer, but DS is TALL. He outgrew it by 6 months. At 9 months, he's now 34'' tall!

    Yes, DD stayed in her Graco SR35 until 14.5mo. I think she could have gone a few months longer but we were going out of the country and I was afraid she would outgrow it while we were away. But we started leaving it in the car around 6-8mo.

    10.5 months and we're still using the infant seat. I'm dreading having to switch to a convertible seat, because we have to buy 2, one for each of our cars... that is a lot of money!

    My daughter used that seat until 17 months! She is a tiny little thing.

    Almost 11 months and still in the Graco 35, hoping to get past the holidays so he will likely be over a year and still in it. I dread changing as I use the snap and go everywhere, so easy just to take him out of the car in his seat and snap him in to the snap and go!

    I think as a FTM I was just excited to put her in her 'big girl' seat. This time I'm probably not going to feel the same urge to rush it since it just means buying MORE stuff!

    @prettylizy: Exactly! I was so excited about LO's zebra seat!

    I bought my baby a Nextfit for Christmas and she'll be 6 months. That seat is way nicer than her hand-me-down infant seat so we might switch at Christmas or wait a month or so. I am more sad about using the regular stroller seat instead of the carseat! And lately she has been staying asleep for a while when we bring her carseat inside from the car, so it will definitely suck having to unstrap her.

    @autumnlove: Yes, we used it as long as we could. B falls asleep in the car, so I loved that we could move him without waking him. We changed him to convertible around 14 months.

    Yup. Soon to be 13 months and still using. Though we just bought a covertible so switching soon. Though I will use the bucket as part of the stroller travel system for as long as possible

    We moved to a convertible around 13 months. I really miss the infant seat when he falls asleep in the car!
