baby travel systems for tall parents image
firsttimem
My son is almost 6 months old but he is 19lbs(8.8kg) and 69cm(27inches) tall!! We have a Graco deluxe travel system which has been great but now the straps are really difficult to get around him. Time for a new seat. Of course I want to buy the safest for my son and I would like one that I can use as he grows (booster?) I am looking for suggestions of what to buy or what to avoid buying.
Also, given that he is only 6 months, should it still be rear-facing? Or because he is so big is front facing ok?
Confused Mom
THANKS for the clarification about the rear-facing thing!! P.O.I. I live in foreign country and can't go shopping to get some advice... I am counting on you guys :) Thanks again~~
Answer
Definitely rear facing for the first year...
we switched my son into his convertable seat around 7 months, and I did a lot of research beforehand.
If you can afford it, Brittax is wonderful... a bit out of our price range though. We were happy with our Graco infant carrier, but I didn't like the convertables as much. We ended up with Evenflo Triumph Advance, and have been very happy with it! http://www.evenflo.com/Homepage/ProductList/tabid/203/Default.aspx?categoryid=0967b93d-ca99-479b-99cd-cb460e254ea8 and it's pretty gender neutral. Good luck. I'd try going on sites like Babiesrus.com and reading the parent reviews on different seats. I found that to be quite helpful.
