Finally, you can remove the back and convert the seat to a lightweight backless booster that can also be used from 40 to 100 pounds and up to 57 inches tall. Winter attire adds to space between car seat straps so it’s advised to undress the baby before strapping them to a car seat. The authors also talked with dozens of parents and representatives from leading car seat manufacturers.

The 6 months is based on allowing the baby’s spine to be rested but in a car seat vs bassinet, the spine isn’t resting anyway so many people just put the seats in a recline position at 4 months. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a solid option for kids who are no longer rear-facing but still benefit from a five-point harness.I also have the seat protector which is handy when it’s wet outside as your wheels can get dirty and they’d make your car seat grubby.

So if there is a system, it will have to adhere to the necessary protocols as a car seat and a stroller. But your own convertible car seat is likely to be heavy (our picks in our guide to convertible car seats range from 19 to 33 pounds).Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). The more I talked to actual doctors and people who know what they’re talking about (not just random consumers), the more I realized that Doona surely isn’t a must-have and whether you want it or not depends on your lifestyle. For travel, this is about as convenient as it gets, allowing caregivers to rely on a single piece of equipment to accomplish two goals: avoid gate-checking a stroller—assuming an airline seat is purchased for the infant—and hop in and out of cabs without having to stow anything in the trunk. Additionally, the plane’s seat belt buckle is going to be pushing into your child’s back if the seat is oriented forward-facing. years apart your toddler might not walk to walk (or will walk but not where you want him to walk) so it gets tricky.

Over the years, the Good Housekeeping Institute has tested all sorts of baby equipment from booster car seats to double strollers, always making safety the highest priority.This is something I never considered with my kids as my first was born in the spring and my second was born in the winter but Mexican winter, so I never had to deal with newborns surrounded by snowy or cold weather. As it’s an infant car seat the seat can only be facing the parent when rolling around in a stroller mode. A 1-year-old might prefer to sit on the stroller seat directly, but you can continue to safely use the infant car seat rear-facing in the car until your baby reaches the weight and height limit, which often happens soon after their second birthday. If you don’t have any kids you probably can’t get quite as excited over a car seat or a pushchair as I am. The company invented the baby swing in the 1950s and debuted the first travel system concept, a car seat that snapped into its matching stroller, in the late 1990s.

Transitioning your infant from a stroller to a car seat can be fraught: Will your baby fuss when you release one set of buckles just to strap them into another? Doona actually performs WAY below average in terms of head injuries (which makes sense for small babies because the head can get wobbly with little side cushioning), and it doesn’t get to the top 10 car seats on the US market in terms of safety.Beyond the advantage of the European belt bath, the Chicco KeyFit 35 has everything we love about the more popular Chicco KeyFit 30 with a few bonus features, such as an anti-rebound base as an added safety option. It’s the first such hybrid car seat and travel system on the market and, with safety features including a double wall structure and anti-rebound handle, it has already been given the thumbs up by celeb parents including X Factor’s Sam Bailey and JB Gill. While it is convenient and hence why so many people think it’s worth it, Doona is not a stroller and shouldn’t be used as a stroller for walks. Now that I have it, I’m wondering what other suggestions you might have for a 14 month old when flying? Plus, it can be used forward-facing until a kid is 65 pounds and 49 inches tall—a much longer usable life than the Scenera Next.
