Hi All,
My CPS tech certification expired over a year ago and I have gotta say, I am out of the loop when it comes to shopping for new seats.
My 19 month old daughter is just shy of 20 pounds and is 31 inches tall. She is quite petite and I really don't know where to begin with a new seat for her.
She is currently in a Chicco Keyfit 30, and I would like to keep her in it till she outgrows it, but I am expecting in May and will use the Chicco for the new baby. Because she is so small, I want her rear facing for as long as possible. I was looking at convertible seats with high RF weights - 35 to 45 pounds, and FF weights 65+. Should I focus solely on a convertible, or aim for an all-in-one? I want seat longevity and the most bang for my buck, but her safety is our number 1 priority.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance.
