infant seat decision

We already have a 5 point harness Fisher Price SIV that expires in December 2008, and our new baby is due at the end of September. Our first son was born at 29 wks, and the SIV worked reasonably well w/rolled towels next to his head and a washcloth between the crotch strap and baby (he came home at 4 lbs).

This baby is doing great and we aren't really expecting a super premature delivery, but I like the Chicco Keyfit regardless, and I do think that I'll use an infant seat all winter (well past December), b/c we have a soon to be 3 yrs old, too.

I need opinions---I'm pretty sure that I'd like to purchase the Keyfit, but I'm trying to decide if I should buy it now w/my $20 off coupon for BRU. Will there be another sale/coupons like this over the summer? The coupon I have expires at the end of this month. We won't need an infant seat after this baby, so we'll be gifting or selling it when the baby outgrows it.

Thanks for your replies!

(Anyone know of someone who needs an infant carseat--we actually have two that have a bit of life left in them.)

The Keyfit is my fave. No, I've never seen one IRL, but I've read and seen so much wonderful stuff about them that it's my dream infant seat.

FWIW, my dd came home at 3lbs 10oz and I would have given anything for a Keyfit (not approved for use here). I understand the harness adjusts down very small and the infant insert makes things super cozy for baby. I know you said this baby is doing well, but it never hurts to be prepared you know?

So I'd scoop up a Keyfit with the $20 off coupon and enjoy! :)


OT, Steph...

Do you remember me from bbc? I used to be lazydaisy_2005? Now I'm, um, buckleupbuttercup... anyway, wasn't Ryan in a BV??? And now he's in a MA?? Why the switch? Was it a headwing issue??

I'm thinking about a BV for Sophie if/when they ever come to Canada.... but am *slightly* worried she won't dig the headwings, and pull her head fwd all the time. So any advice on this is much appreciated.
