Hello,
My son was born last Monday, 5.5 weeks early. Yesterdays weight was 4lb, 15oz. He is 17.75 inches. He is not in NICU, but has been in the nursery. They took him off the monitors today and said he may be able to go home this weekend. However, the Peg Perego SIP we used on our 3.5 yr old daughter will be too big for him. That's unfortunate since we have the seat and 3 bases(guess I can sell them on Craigslist). So, we need to find something fast since that pretty much leaves tomorrow to pick it up. The hospital said less than 5.5 inches to the straps/bottom and seatback/end of seat. They also recommended the Chicco KeyFit, Evenflow model #'s 3961613L1 + 5491634A and Graco SnugRide models #'2 A645THR2 + JJ0403061147. Of these, I can only find the KeyFit and the standard SnugRide (don't know if there is a diffrence in model #'s since they gave us two).
Basically, I need something safe, that will fit, is light (the SIP is heavy for my 5ft wife), easy to snap in and carry. I also don't want to break the bank buying a new seat and bases. Any quick recommendations are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
