Several things have changed in the infant car seat world since my last baby 2.5 years ago and I have a few questions about infant carriers, if we were to choose to use one. We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna and will drive it for several more years.
If my babies are long and lean and don't even hit the 30 pound mark until they are around 3 years old (my girls are 4 and still hover at 30-35 lbs!), what is the benefit of having an infant carrier that goes up past the 22 pound mark? I saw on here where no one is recommending anything unless it's a 30 or 35 and I just know that we would in no way use a carrier that long, since ours outgrow in length WAY before weight.
We used 22 lb Snug Rides with my others, but I don't want to do that if it's not recommended. I have looked at Keyfits and Keyfit 30s. Besides the heavier weight allowance, what are the other differences?
My girls were very uncomfortable in their SnugRide carriers and I loved it when we switched them to RF in Roundabouts at 7 months. My son sweat terribly in his SnugRide, and we switched him to RF in a TF at 5 months, so I'm really wanting to make sure the next *maybe* baby has a seat that is well padded and also has material that is breathable.
Differences in the SnugRides, Keyfits, and the OnBoards?
Thanks, I read through a lot of the threads and found a lot of good information, so thank you for helping out!
