How many November babies are still in infant car seats?

Question

We are planning on making the switch at least by 12 months old but I'm wondering if we should do it sooner? He still fits of course, 20 lbs and infant seat is good up to 35 but I've been reading that convertible is safer because it protects the head more and may be more comfortable for them. But our stroller is a travel set, so I hate to switch and then not be able to just pop him in the stroller like i do now. We walk everyday. I also still carry him in the car seat occasionally if he's still sleeping. Is it okay to wait until a year old or is it much safer to just switch now?

Answer

I just purchased a convertible one today from babies r us. I got a great deal and can't wait to get it since they had to order the color I wanted which is a purple. It will look just like this though

Answer

As long as their head isn't within 1 inch of the top of the seat that's totally fine!! We have one car (my husbands) with the convertible seat in it and my car still has the infant seat. I'm planning to switch it next week, she's getting to tall for it

Answer

I switched mine when he was about 6 months, old he's above average for height and weight he's alot more comfy but I more so did it because he hated the car & I think the infant carrier was too closed in he couldn't see what was goin on. Still hates the car lol but not as much & I got a DVD player so it's getting better, just can't make a 1 hr trip alone somebody has to ride in the back with him & I have to be home b4 it gets dark he hates the dark. He'll look out the window put his lip out n just scream!!! I tried lights, the DVD player nothing works

Answer

I plan on switching soon. We bought the Graco 4ever so I know I can change any time, but I love being able to just pop out the car seat, but he's starting to be so heavy to carry in it!

Answer

I'm switching but only because my lo wants to sit up and not be leaning back.

Answer

My husband has the convertible one in his truck and it is sooo much nicer. The baby fits better, looks more comfortable, and looks safer. Plus my LO is too heavy to carry in his car seat anymore. It is far easier just to carry the baby and no car seat.

Answer

We haven't switched yet because of the cost of a new car seat. I'm sick to death of lugging the infant one around though, plus being 5 months pregnant makes it much more difficult 😅 
We'll have him switched before he's 1, for sure, but I think it's just personal preference as far as when to make the switch. As long as your baby is within weight limits, if you don't want to switch I don't see a rush ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Answer

We just switched my son to one this past sunday. His feet were hanging off his infant seat so i figured it was getting close. Its not fun tho...like the other post I will miss being able to just pop his carseat on something and go lol but he does have alot more room and looks more comfortable in the bigger seat.
