i have a few questions for you.

first of how old and how much did kaden weigh when you switched him to his new infant/ toddler car seat??

what kind did you buy?

Tyler is 17 pounds and 27 inches long, and he is getting soo heavy for me, i have knee problems as it is and carrying him in his seat sucks!

and when are you going to front face him??

i was told to get the Eddie Bauer alpha omega elite car seat because its good from 15-100 pounds the people at babies r us told me to get this one.

ohh and one more question for randi or for any one else to answer or put your input in, did you guys get 2 car seats for your kids?? one for each car?? ↓

It's recommended that babies stay rear facing until they are at least 20 pounds, but if he/she reaches 20 pounds before they turn one, keep them rear facing until after their first birthday. Here's a link to a great site with the requirements, etc.

Hahaha : )

Kaden was 7 months old and about 18lbs when I switched him. We bought the Eddie Bauer and he is still rear facing and will be until he reaches the rear facing weight limit... I think it's 30lbs. He loves his seat... he can see so much more and it's a lot roomier. It also has a cup holder, so he can grab his bottle or water when he needs it.

We only bought one seat, but we really only ever have him in one of our vehicles. If we need to take him in another vehicle, we use the latch system and a pool noodle to snap it in. It takes 2 seconds.

He can sit forward when he is 20lbs AND 1 year. It's best to keep them rear facing for as long as possible though. It's safest in a side impact or frontal collision, which are the most common. Oh, and make sure the seat has the "wings" on either side of the head to protect from the side. The Eddie Bauer ones do. ↑
