My sister is almost 11 weeks pregnant. She is due the middle of August. We live in different states, so I am trying to help her plan ahead for her carseat situations so that we can work out any problems that might arise.
She drives an 02 Jeep Wrangler(hard top if that makes a difference.) Are there any know problems installing seats in this car? What about places to put a D-ring for future RF installs of an MA or similar seat?
Her DH drives a Mustang(not sure on the year.) I know the Mustang is a problem, we have discussed this already. She said if they need to go anywhere in the Mustang, she will just sit behind the driver and leave the front passenger seat empty. They don't plan on having to do this often though.
She is liking the Combi Shuttle. I have never used(or seen IRL) a Combi seat before. Are they easy to install? How long do you think it might last compared to a Snugride? I have told her approx 4-6 months depending on how tall the baby is. Her and her DH are tall thin people. Also, I think I read that the Shuttle has no minimum weight? Is this right? Do you think it would actually fit a baby smaller than 5 pounds? I am not anticipating any problems, but it never hurts to know all of the details.
Thanks for any help you may have.
BTW: Are any of our techs anywhere close to Farmington NM? I don't see one on the list, but maybe someone isn't listed? Thanks.
