Infant car seat question for FTM

👱🏻‍♀️

How long is a baby usually in an infant carrier seat for? I know it will depend on their weight and height, but what’s the average time? Just trying to figure out if it’s worth spending more money on a nicer looking car seat or if we should get a cheaper (price sized one) because it’s not a very long time.

Btw, we are deciding between Chicco keyfit 30 and Nuna Pipa... but I’m blown away at how much another base is for that one 🤯
