I've searched the forum, but I've been unable to find anything relating to this topic. Anyway, a friend of mine came over to today with her new baby (5 weeks old). I asked her if that was a new Graco infant carseat model because he was strapped in wierd. She said that was the way the nurse at the hospital told her to do it. I wish I could draw a picture for you because it may be hard to describe what she did. But you know how with the 5-point harness, you put their arms through and then clip that plastic clip, and then you have the other clip that goes inbetween their legs? Well, not only did she put his arms through the straps, but his legs also. Does that make sense? So basically, the opening where his legs are supposed to go there is nothing. I have never seen anyone do this before (and I haven't read this in the instruction manual), but since a nurse told her to do it, maybe they know something that I don't. Is it because he's a newborn (he was just over 6 lbs. when he was born). If so, when does she stop doing that, at what weight? I have gotta say, if that is what you're supposed to do, it looks extremely uncomfortable (no wonder why he cries the second she put him in it). But if my description doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to think of a better way to word it. Thanks in advance! I just want to make sure the baby is safe since she's driving back to Minnesota today from Wisconsin.
