Hello everyone,
I am hoping for some insight here. I have been a big Britax fan for years. Both my girls have been in the Roundabout RF and then FF and have now moved up to the Parkway. With my second girl, I didn't even use an infant carrier, only the Roundabout. Well, a few weeks ago, I ended up having my baby boy at 31 weeks and want/need to have an infant carrier for him. He was 3 lbs 10 oz at birth and is up to 4 lbs 5 oz 2 1/2 weeks later. I have been looking at the Companion, Safeseat 1, Snugride and the Keyfit. I am wondering what anyone thinks is the best for a preemie.
When he is older, strong enough to hold up his head and not sleeping all the time, I will put him into the roundabout RF, so the increased weight/height limits on the SS1 are not a huge concern for me. I have read that they install really easy and it seems like everyone loves them. I am just worried that it might be too big for a preemie. I also read that the snugride makes babies really hot and are not as easy to install. Also, it seems like a lot of people have had problems getting the Companion to lock into the base properly or get it off the base.
So my main question is.... What would you get if you had a 4-5 lb preemie that needed great neck support? I was also looking at getting a double stroller as well. I am wondering if I was to get a Companion, does anyone know if it will attach into any stoller that is made for infant carriers to attach to, like the duoglider or the babytrend sit and stand?
Thanks in advance for your help! Tracy
