Getting Big!
O.k. maybe I am really out of it, but can anyone tell me how a "rear-facing" big boy carseat is supposed to work? I bought a bigger carseat for Luke. It was advertised as rear and/or front facing for 5 to 52 pounds. I couldn't imagine putting a newborn in it though. It also seemed like the best rated. However, we went to the fire department to get it installed and in the tight position the seat is all the way up against the back of the seat and there is no room for his legs almost as if the seat part isn't long enough. Also the incline of the seat is no longer inclined. I put him in it and he looked like the most uncomfortable baby in the world. It seems almost better to keep using the infant car seat. At least in that he can lay back a little and have room for his feet, but the kiddo is huge. Any suggestions! He is 30 inches and 22 pounds at almost 7 months. Have any of you found a great seat for this transition?

Hey Stef! We have used the EvenFlo Triumph convertible seat for the "next step up"... it's a little shorter on the top than the big ones, and I think it's for kiddos up to 40 lbs and 40 inches tall. The legs on both boys were definitely bent from touching the back seat by the one-year mark, but it has seemed comfy for now two longer little ones. Anyway, you can get it at BRU, I think.
Good luck! :)
wow! i dont know....jake is still only 26.5 lbs and he is 21 months :)
My friend is a cop and said children that are bigger are normally cramped. She has a friend, both of them are over 6.2 and there children are to big but they had to be in them anyways. Poor Luke!:) Hopefully something will work for you guys!
Stef, You crack me up, you change your Blog design so often! I like the new look and that pic of Luke is great!
