Babies Too Tall!!!

My daughter is almost 7 months old 13lbs 13oz last time we were at the doctors about a month ago and she is just about 27" tall, shes not ready in weight for a new carseat but shes very tall. A friend of mine read in Parent magazine that you can switch carseats by height instead of weight? I need to know what to do? Can i switch her now? The poor thing has to squish down to fit in the seat. Please help i cant seem to find any info on this!! Also her head is at an inch if not less from the top of the carseat when she is sitting as i put her in, if she sits straight up her head is just about at the top of the seat! THANK YOU!!

Re: Babies Too Tall!!!

It sounds like its time for a new seat. I assume you are using a fant seat and if this is the case then you need to go to a convertible seat. Make sure the convertible goes rear facing until at least 30 pounds (sone rear face until 35 pounds). It is best and safer for your daughter if you can keep her rear facing as long as possible up to the rear limits of the child seat.

I agree with Robert...

You can switch to a convertible carseat anytime, and keep your baby rear-facing. Please see the "Carseat Basics" link under the top banner for more information on this next step, and for some links to other sites with specific recommendations.

Good luck!
