Okay, this is (hopefully) temporarily quick and short post… BUT…
Did you know you can go to – or schedule an appointment at – your local fire station, and most of them have a certified carseat safety person who will help you install your carseat for FREE. YES, free 99 and it is SO SO SO worth it. Please take the time to do this! Honestly, I only did it for my first baby carseat, but I learned so much. I would love to go again, I just haven’t yet. Yeah, yeah, practice what you preach, Heather. Seriously though, if you care about your babies, which you do, please go do this to make sure you are safely securing your babies in your car!!
Side topic I realllyyyy love Graco 4-in-1 car seats with the 10-position harness. Each style has slightly different weight limits, I believe, but they can basically be used for the entire carseat-life of a child. I really don’t love infant carriers, although they can be very useful if you like to leave baby in the carrier to put in the stroller or just to carry. I use a wrap or baby carrier often, so I like to only use an infant carrier for the first couple months until baby can hold up her head a little better. Then, I transfer them to the 4-in-1 carseat and I just feel like the steel frame and head support is so much safer.
As always suggested, do what works best for your family and your situation! 😄
