Just wanted to get your opinions and/or possible leads.... I am due mid September with a surprise 6th baby. All of our kids have been early and weighed less than 5 pounds. My youngest came home after a month in the NICU weighing just over 4 lbs. And, they tend to be light weights into childhood. Anyway, just after finding out the news I came across a new SR35 for less than $75 and bought it knowing it would last for quite awhile, but recently realized the lower weight limit is 5 pounds, which will likely be more than what the little one will weigh at discharge. At this point $ will be an issue, so I want to make sure this little one is safe, but not spending needlessly either. Should I try and sell the SR35 now and look for a KF30, knowing I will probably be spending quite a bit more and not using it as long? Or, what about a carbed? Can they be used with a preemie that doesn't have other health problems that require them laying flat? I read that many NICUs lend them when available and thought I could maybe borrow one until the baby grows into my SR35. I wish I knew someone that had a KF22 or 30 that I could borrow, but I'm a big Graco infant seat fan, so everyone I know has gone with them too! Are there any other options? Thanks for any help.
