    RA 55 and newborns

    I have an older model RA55 that I was thinking about using for our new little due in April. I have a BabyTrend Flex Loc that I'll be using which expires 11/16 but I HATE that thing and I can't justify a new infant seat. It doesn't seem like the bottom slots are low enough for an infant...
