Baby outgrown infant seat?
My almost 7 month old baby measured 26 in and 17+lbs at her last checkup and is still in her infant seat which lists the max height as 26 in and weight as 20 lbs. Since she's at the max height (and within an inch of the top of the seat), we've started looking for an acceptable convertable seat as a replacement, but are running into a problem with placement of the shoulder straps. For all the models we've looked at, the straps are so far below her shoulder that when they are tightened sufficiently (meaning less than a fingers worth of wiggle room between her and the strap), they squish her into the seat such that she isn't really sitting upright (which is how we were told she should be sitting--her butt in the curve of the seat). At the same time, the next slot up seems to high, so we're left wondering what to do...
