Baby is due mid December, my SR22 expires end of December, but would make it through first two weeks of Dr appts, which is all we'll leave home for anyway.
CCO expires in May. I'm not a fan of the way the newborn fit *looks* in this, but love it for older infants. My other kids have outgrown this so if I don't use it for baby I'll never use it again. Thing is when it expires my other convertibles will still be being used by my toddlers, so I'll NEED a new seat at some point anyway, but it seems to make more sense to wait til then and reevaluate what we need/what new is available.
I'm not opposed to a convertible from birth. Fit wise though I'm undecided about the snugride. My first three (36-37 weeks) were too short for the SRs, last two (39 weeks) were fine. With #3 I actually had to send DH out to get a KF to get home from the hospital even with a cloth diaper rump! I'd have the CCO for backup if baby's small, but I'm not excited about standing in the freezing winter a day postpartum trying to install the touchy CCO in my packed full (will be 6 car seats) suburban. So I should just plan to use the CCO from the start, right? I have guilt about allowing the snugride to just sit around expiring with no plans to use it though.
What would you do? Snugride, Cocorro, something new?
