Answer

I live in Ohio and the only ready I still use my infant one is because it has a car seat cover on it to keep him warm once it warms up and stays warms in changing it out to a convertible one . So probably 5-7 months . Unless he gets to heavy for me to carry him in his

Answer

I think the new recommendation is by age 1. It's safer for a baby over the age of 1 to be in a rear facing convertible car seat. We switched my first around 8 months I think. He's still in that seat and he's 3. Once he's big enough for the bigger seat we bought him (booster with a back) I'll switch both of them. Hopefully some time this summer.

Answer

3 months because baby is a chunky monkey over 17 pounds and just too squished lol!

Answer

I plan on switching him when he's ready to sit in a stroller without the infant attachment. I have the britax-b safe infant car seat and it seems like he's so squished in it. Getting him in it if such a pain.

Answer

Well my boy is almost 4 months and I'd prefer to use the infant seat longer but he can only grow 2 more inches before he's too tall for it so we're gonna get a convertible soon.

Answer

My boy is only 15.5 pounds, but he is 27 inches tall so it's hard for him to fit in his infant seat. I'm going to put him in it for the next month just because it is easier with the harsh weather, but then at 5 months put him in the convertible.
