Newborn in Recaro?

Has anyone tried a nb in a Como? We're getting 2 Signos for the girls, but we might be getting a foster baby very soon, and we need a seat for him. I'm trying to decide if I should get 3 Signos. We're being licensed for 0-12 months, and we do have a bucket to use if he doesn't fit into the Recaro.

I think someone installed a Como for a family with a 3 month old and posted pics. Maybe a month ago or so.

Yep, I saw those :) I was wondering about a teeny baby. I guess I can always just order the Signo, and if he doesn't fit I will just use the bucket :)

Here's Ilana, she's almost 10 mos here and about 17#. You can't tell here b/c the straps are set wrong, but she is just even w/ or just below the bottom slots in this seat. It has the same bottom strap height IIRC as the Britax seats, so not a good seat for a nb, but after a few mos it'd probably be doable depending on the baby.

K, thanks :) I had my DD in the Como for pics at 6 months, but both of my girls have freakishly tall torsos and I wasn't sure how the average baby fit! Ilana is such a cutie, thanks for posting the pic. It's amazing that she is still below the bottoms lots--what a peanut!

Thanks for the pictures.

Thomas will be 7 months on Tuesday and weighed 20 lbs 7 oz at his last appointment. I can't wait for the Signo to be released.

I know it's funny b/c the boys have such long torsos, even Evan who is SOOOO short, that I'm not sure what to do w/ a leggy child. ;) She's up to 21# now not even 2 mos after that pic was taken so she's not such a peanut anymore.
