So I had settled on the Keyfit 30 and now I don't know.
Let me explain it all. This is our 5th baby. Our 4th was small. Each of our other 3 got bigger but # 4 was small. I discussed things with my OB this week and he honestly believes there was other issues which caused Riley to be small. So he had an u/s done. I went at 33 wks 4 days and it said the baby looks great and estimated weight at just over 5 lbs. It is a boy. My first boy weighed 9 lbs 2 1/2 oz and was born at 38 wks by c-section. Boy # 2 was also born at 38 wks but was 6 lb 2 1/2 oz. This boy is scheduled for Feb 2 at 39 wks. I was worried it would be a small baby and now I am not as concerned about that. However, I have a Chicco Ct 0.1 stroller. With Riley I used the sling the majority of the time. But this baby is coming in winter and Riley was June. We also have a Baby Trend sit n stand plus(has a real seat in back too). I asked on here and someone told me the Keyfit fits but is very reclined in that. I doubt I will be going out much during Feb but once I do go out I will probably just be taking my dd to ballet on sat and when hockey for ds is over I will take only the baby and it would be nice to fit the seat in the chicco stroller. I guess that was the main reason I was leaning to the KF. Dh also liked the miro print over the print I picked for the SR. we can't try these out because no where near us has them. We may be travelling next week so I thought we could try to find a store with them but that might not happen either.
So I am once again so confused. I want the higher weight limit because I don't want to worry about putting another rf convertible next to ds. He is rf in a Marathon(he is 2 1/2 and weighs 25 lbs). I look for him to be rf well past his 3rd birthday at his current weight gain. we do have a decathlon that I am going to get dh to try out beside the MA. we have a minivan and for some reason the make is not coming to me! We bought it last Oct(08) and it has 3 seats in the middle. I haven't figured out seating yet for them. Figured we would decide that when baby is actually here and we know what works best.
So I know I have rambled on. Should I just stick with the keyfit? I need to order this seat asap. I only have a little over a month left!
