My son is approaching six-months-old and is a porker. He weighs over 20 pounds. Him and his infant car seat are too much for my wife to carry without hurting her back, which already has problems. So, we swapped out the infant car seat and its bases today and put in our new convertibles.
Graco Milestone All-In-One is what we went with. I got it for $75.00 off on Amazon Prime Day.
Side note: My God this thing is huge. I can just picture myself trying to install it in my old car (‘08 Mazda3 hatch). The passenger seats of my 6 and my wife’s CX-5 already have to be moved pretty far forward to accommodate it.
I feel a bit better about upgrading car size (Mazda3 to Mazda6) now that I have to haul this monster around.
Bonus cute kid pic:
Anyone else’s kid have a fondness for scratching themselves in the face at night?

Re: Face Scratches, all the time. Kiddo nails seem to be made of the same razor sharp material as kitten claws.

Yup. Kiddo is a year and a half, and had a semi permanent cut on his face and below his neck on his back. It’s his odd nervous self soothing thing, I guess.

When we had a rear facing car seat in my wife’s ‘06 3, the front passenger seat had to be moved up so far, that nobody with legs could sit there. The rare times the three of us drove her car, I had to sit behind my wife. That’s why we traded it for a CX-5 when kiddo #2 came along.

That’s why I got rid of my 3. My wife would have to ride in the back with the kid. At least in the 6, someone can still sit up front. Although we drive her CX-5 most of the time anyway.

Have you seen the prices on those? Yikes.
