Seat Extra Base
Convertible Car Seats vs. Infant Car Seats, Which is Safer?
My son will be 4 months old on the 16th of this month, and our original plan was to have him in a convertible car seat in my car and have the infant seat with the base in my wife's car, which we normally take on family outings. Since getting a new car 2 weeks ago, we have been taking my car on longer trips so we can prevent the kids from messing up the new car anytime soon.
My wife refuses to let the baby sit in the convertible seat, and took it out, and replaced it with an extra infant car seat base so that he can go in that in my car. When I asked her about this she said it was because the convertible seat doesn't look as safe as the infant seat.
I do not want to choose the easiness of the convertible seat over the safety of the infant seat, is one actually safer than the other?
I do understand that the convertible seat is made for rear facing babies 5 lbs. - 22 lbs. but does the infant seat have any safety benefits?
I worked at a baby store, & I learned a lot on carseats...
From what I know... theyre equally safe.... Its just easier to use an infant one with a small baby....
Most convertible carseats have cushions to help smaller babies fit in safely,... They're just as safe!
The benefit to using an infant one for a while, is that if baby falls asleep in the car, you can just take the whole carseat out & take baby wherever your going.... In the convertible ones, you have to undo it, get baby out.... Usually wakes a sleeping baby up!
I would go ahead and use the infant one for another month or 2, just because its really more comfy for baby.... But if you want to try the convertible one, go ahead! Theyre equally safe when installed right!!!
