Convertable seat for tiny baby?
So we have been using an Evenflo Portabout infant seat with our 4 month old dd, but its not functioning properly.. it keeps getting stuck in the base and I keep hearing a clicking noise, like the seat is clicking into place in the base well into car rides, so I dont feel comfortable keeping her in this seat any longer.. It isnt expired but its had lots of use (this is the 4th baby its been through) so I think its just worn out.
Anyways, we cant afford to buy a new infant seat (hence why we were borrowing this seat from my sister) but Im leary to switch her into the Evenflo Triumph we bought for her awhile back.. she's 4 months but she's super scrawny at 8 lbs 8 ozs and 21 inches.. I know the seat says from 5 lbs but there is no way a 5 lber would safely fit in that thing IMO..
So my question is, would it be safe to switch dd RF in the Triumph? Or should I continue using the Portabout? We also have a Cosco Arriva in my MIL's car that we could get back for dd, but I've never felt very safe with my kids in a 3 point harness.. What would you do in this situation?
