Hi everyone,
First time posting. My dd was diagnosed super late with congenital hip dysplasia soon after her 2nd bday. ("late" is after 3 mths old, very late after 6 mo, really really late after a year so pretty ridiculous at 2.) She had a total of 24 weeks of full body casts, with 2 major surgeries (google pelvic & femoral osteotomy). We were blessed to be loaned the Snugseat Hippo from Britax through the hospital. We have an Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX that we used prior to surgery that she was always uncomfortable in and for some reason gives her the urge to poop (she struggles with constipation). We figured it may have been cuz her hips were dislocated!! Now were using it again and she's super uncomfortable. She was semi uncomfy in the Hippo too but it's hard to tell what was pain from surgery/cast and what wasn't. She is 29.5 lb, 35inches.
We also have a 9 mo dd (est. 21lb, 27 in)who eventually will outgrow her Chicco Keyfit 30. She's starting to do the bucking & screaming like crazy when we put her in and we're thinking about putting her in the Evenflo to get my other dd into a comfy seat. Two big factors: 1. Money, dh has been unemployed for 1.5 yrs 2. She's having surgery next month the remove hardware in her bones. No post op cast, thank God! Any advice?
