My friend started a post about this on Facebook for me but I can't chime in since I don't want anyone seeing my posts asking about newborns. I'm only 7 weeks - due Feb. 5th - no one beside my best friend and my husband know.
I was planning on reusing my Keyfit 30 for this baby but realized it expires next January. We have zero money at this time so I am thinking of just getting a convertible that can last until it expires. With my first babies I only used the infant seat for 6 months at the most. I really liked the infant seat for the first few months but after that it usually didn't leave the car. I hate lugging that thing around. My last baby only rode in the infant for maybe 2 months at most because she hated laying back and needed to sit more upright in a convertible so we could all travel happier.
We are 98% sure this baby will be our last so I wouldn't get any other use out of an infant.
Which convertibles fit newborns the best? My babies have all averaged 8-9 lbs (smallest was 7lb 11 oz and largest was 8 lbs 9 oz) I'm pretty sure I don't need to worry about my babies being too small.
I am looking to stay close to $100 but for sure less than $150.
I can use the Keyfit I have for the BRU trade-in event if you think I would get the best deal doing that.
Also, our car is a full size (9 pass.) '98 Chevy Suburban with no latch or tethering. But, the seatbelts do lock.
