I am looking for an infant seat for my DNi, due in Feb. Her mom has a bad back, has had surgery, and needs a light weight seat for when she chooses to use it as a carrier. I have a BV waiting for when baby outgrows the infant seat, so there is really no need for a 30lb seat (and I'm sure they are heavier anyway).
I have thought of the snugride, flex loc, combi seats (haven't seen these in person). Which of these is lightest and which would you recommend? This is a first child and the parents both drive older cars, so an easy install would be best. I wish I had more experience with infant seats, but my obsession didn't start until we were in convertibles.
I have recommended that mom just remove baby from the seat and use a light weight stroller and/or find a carrier that doesn't irritate her back. I can't imagine carrying a baby and seat with a bad back. She says she would put the seat directly onto a stroller either way, but she still wants an infant seat.
What would you recommend? TIA.
