Car seats

Question

Hello everyone! So I’m pregnant with my first baby. Getting close to half way through and I’m curious about what car seat to get. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to get and maybe what to stay away from? Thanks in advance :)

Answer

This is what we have used my sons whole life I love it. And it goes up to I think 50lbs so it’s the only one we will ever need. We had an infant carrier type of car seat but we only used it to drive home from the hospital because I didn’t like it.

Answer

I recommend anything from Graco for infant seats. When you switch to convertible seat when baby is starting to outgrow the infant seat make sure to get something that rear faces as long as possible. I really recommend Graco brand for everything but there are other good brands too, it's just my favorite.

Answer

I know a lot of people hype this up but I personally would stay away from it. It doesn’t do as well when it comes to safety tests and honestly it’s a waste of money in the long run because your baby will only be able to use it for so long. Once your baby reaches the max for it, you can’t use it anymore and will have to purchase another car seat and stroller as well. I get that’s it’s practical and down right convenient but sometimes convenience isn’t what’s best all the time. If you are looking to splurge, I’d look at the Nuna travel system or uppababy.

I am having my first also and have talked to a lot of women that recently had babies within the past year or two who recommended the following to me. This is what I will be using. The first one is a travel system that comes with the infant car seat, stroller, and base and the second is for when the baby outgrows the infant car seat and it is a 4 in 1 with rear facing, forward facing, tall backed car seat, and booster seat which will last as the baby becomes a toddler and small child. It’s a lot of money but I think worth it over time.
