Hello again,
I apologize for having yet another question, but I value your opinions and expertise so much, I have to ask!
I am wondering if there is a "safer" seat for babies/infants... Is a baby safer is a traditional bucket seat (infant carrier) or in a rear-facing child restraint?
I am driving myself crazy over my dd's new seat. We bought her a MA, installed it, got a good install and I do like it. BUT, as I said in another thread, our MA is 30lbs RF'ing limit and I think I would rather return it and wait to buy one of the newer seats with a 35lbs RF'ing limit... I have both a Snugride (DOM 2004) and a Safeseat (DOM 2008), so I could technically use those for quite a bit longer... which might give us more time for more seat options with 35 RF limit...
My daughter is almost 10 months-old, weighs only 16 lbs and I'm not sure of her height, but I do know she's in the 5th to 10th percentile for weight and height. How long can she stay in the infant carrier? And is she better off in her MA, safety wise, or in the carrier? What about side impact protection?
I know that the Safeseat has a 30lbs limit and the Snugride 22lbs... but in terms of age, how long will she typically fit in both?
WWYD?
