My husband and I went browsing on the essentials today. I want an infant car seat, he says it's a waste to get convertible. Any recommendations, I do not car about price but saftey of the product. We live in Italy with crazy drivers, but on a military base. I'm not sure if I'd even be taking little baby off base. If anything I'd be going up the road to run errands. Any input is appreciated, coming from a soon to be 1st time mom.
