Doesn’t this car seat look huge?

Question

This car seat says it’s for kids from 22-50lbs. My daughter weighed at 22 lbs 3 months ago but this car seat still looks huge. Doesn’t it? The head rest is as far down as it goes and doesn’t come off. What do y’all think??

Accepted Answer

This looks like a booster seat. She needs to be in a rear facing convertible seat.

Answer

She likely does not meet the height requirements of the seat. As others suggested I think you need a convertible rear facing seat still.

Answer

This particular seat has a very difficult seat belt installation if you read the manual. It is also not recommended for children under two. A convertible car seat would keep baby safely rear facing until age 2, at which point you would be able to turn the seat forward if you would like, and continue using the same seat. There are many convertible seats within the same price range as that one.

Answer

Not sure. She will grow into it. I will look more into this for you. I'm curious about this also.

Answer

That doesn't look right. Id either return to the store or just use it later. Has she outgrown her current seat? I'd keep her rear facing if at all possible. I know it doesn't look safe when their legs are longer than the car seat but it's a lot safer than forward facing because forward facing has more impact on their spines.

Answer

I'm not pregnant and don't have a child but my mom has always told me if you are in sure what type of car seat to put your child in bring the one you have down to the police station along with your child and ask for there assistance most of them will know and will help that's what they always did for my mom and my older sister.

Answer

This looks like a 5 point booster. A convertible seat is what she needs to be in.

Answer

That head piece may go down? That way those head pieces are actually beside her head ..

Answer

On FB, there's a page called Car seat for Littles. You can post the pic there and they will be able to help you out.

Answer

I'd take it back. This seat isn't appropriate for her age. She needs to be rear facing until at least age two in a convertible carseat. Try the Graco Extend 2 Fit or Graco 4Ever.  Make sure her straps are at or below her shoulders when rear facing too! Her straps can only be above the shoulder when forward facing.
