I have a 7 month old (15 lbs) and a five year old (40 pounds) that are both on the shorter side. I am using a Safesaet for baby and got a True Fit as a gift for her when she outgrows her Safeseat (thanks to this site). My 5 year old was in a high back booster until I started reading that she shoul be harnessed still last year and put her in the True Fit. I am starting to decide what to do next and I have a couple of questions.
First- Is it best to keep baby in the Infant seat as long as possible as far as safety goes? It is convenient but she is starting to want to be more upright. Of course when she sleeps the infant seat is more cozy. When did most of you switch to a convertible? Second, if I switch her soon, isn't it still too soon to put my 40 pound 5 year old in a Booster? If so, I either need to get her another seat and move baby to the True Fit, or get baby a new seat and keep her in the True Fit which she loves. I love it because she can lock herself in now.
If I need to get another seat I want something girly. I have the Monet True Fit and love it but would like to try something different too. I really love the pink and brown patterns. I have been reading about the MyRide and am interested in it. That is what I have been thinking about getting- The Patina Bloom MyRide. It is on sale on BabyAge for $170. However today I saw that the cutest carseat ever- the Britax Marathon in Allie is on sale for $189.99 . I haven't really read up on these since they have always been out of my price range so what can you tell me? I LOVE the pattern but I want to LOVE the seat too. Any advice?
Thanks!
