22+ lb infant seat?

I recently discovered the Cosco Designer 35 infant seat will no longer be produced. (While I can find them in stores, I'd rather not have an "orphan" car seat and deal with potential problems securing parts in the future.)

I'm interested in an infant seat that can be used past 22 lbs. Is such a thing available? Is it silly to try so hard to find one when I could just purchase a convertible seat and use it rear facing after baby reaches 22 lbs?

ASC (who is still hoping the Britax Companion is approved SOON!)

Re: 22+ lb infant seat?

I found that infant carriers were too heavy after about 20 pounds anyway. Plus, you may find your baby gets too tall for it well before they reach the 35 pound limit of the Designer 35. Finally, the instructions also state that the handle can not be used to carry children above a certain weight. You can still use the Designer 35 in the vehicle up to the 35 pound limit, but not as a carrier. I think at 22 pounds you may find a convertible is actually more convenient:)
