So I read that article. And I um, bought an infant seat to last to 2 years old for the average child! Graco 40. He is 7 months.
A convertible is safer b/c it offers MUCH less chance of child's head hitting the seatback? OK, I am sold but he is in the middle so there is NO seatback. So are we good to keep using this? (I have a Fllo for him for whenever).
I have a lot of trouble getting us safely through any lot (and add the cold) with the 6 little ones so I would be quite lost w/o my infant seat! I know he can't stay forever, but at least I have a hand for the 2 YO! And baby needs no coat so no coat to add bulk (even a fleece adds some bulk).
But then...my tall 2 YO in her RF Fllo...I wonder if I have seatback worries for her? The seat is RIGHT there but not touching. I am 5'8" and dad is 6'4". But what's the alternative, right? I do worry about her head ramming into the seat. Hm. Our van is full, too.
