Have you looked into the stroller/carseat combo? You could maybe find a double or larger combination to accomodate more than one baby at a time.

I have a Graco and love it. Personally I don’t like Peg Prego.

Do you have a giant van to fit all of these in?? That’s a lotta car seats, obviously, for a lot of babies.

I can barely fit two car seats, in my family size sedan!

Honestly, with that many babies, I would choose the cheaper options.
They all have to pass the same safety standards, so safety is not an issue.
I wouldn’t worry about the ‘prettier’ seats, or the better brands or anything like that. Just get four of the ones you can afford easier.

I personally got the Chicco brand and Loved it! I think Peg Perego is nice looking but Im not sure how practical/safe they are. Britax is also a great brand

I have the Graco SnugRide. I bought it after reading the reviews of car seats at consumerreports.org. It was rated the best. I’ve been very pleased with it.

The weight limit on my car seat is 30 lbs. When he moves on to the next stage I’ll probably get an Alpha Omega.

You’ll need to check the weight limits for your infant carrier. Some are only 20 lbs, some are 25. Noah’s was 22 lbs. Just look up the one you have and check the weight and height requirements.

We have the Evenflo Titan Elite convertible car seat now.

I bought a convertible car seat..actually two. That way my son can stay in the same carseat until he is at least 50 lbs. They are both forward facing and rear facing, but my son is still rearfacing at 18 months because that’s the safest!

Well my sons infant car seat goes up to 22lbs. But he is growing to out grow it before he gets to 22lbs I think. My husband and I have already been looking. Closer around tax time we are going to get him one if he doesn’t need it sooner. I like some of the evenflo triumph advanced ones or the evenflo titan elite. Everyone says to get a britax which they are good car seats and highly rated. But I also heard that every car seat has to go through the same tests. I like the evenflo ones bc they are SIP tested and go up to 50 lbs with the 5 point harness and have higher height measurements. Just make sure any car seat you get fits in your car properly and safely for you length and weight of your child. I would do lots of research and shop around. I haven’t totally decided on what one we are getting just yet.

my daughter is 19 lbs too. most infant carseats only go to 22 lbs. it should say on the side or base, if not look in the instruction manual. I bought my daughter the evenflo symphony and she loves it! its a little more expensive but it goes all the way up too a booster seat.

I am not a fan of the infant seats. But…… you can always use your 9 months old seat for the new baby. We had the youngest go home from the hospital weighing 5 pounds, in the Evenflo Triumph 65. he is still rear facing in this seat at age 2, 26 pounds / 34 inches.

Frankly, the new Peg convertible is too new and they have a LOT of bugs to work out still. It may end up being a great seat- but for now, skip it http://carseatblog.com/13395/abc-expo-2011-whats-new-from-peg-perego-primo-viaggio-sip-convertible-viaggio-hbb/

Here’s my list of recommended car seats with rear facing weight limit in parenthesis:
Sunshine Kids Radian (now Diono) (65SL (now R100) – 40 lbs., 80SL (now R120) or XTSL (now RXT) – 45 lbs.)
Britax Marathon 70/Boulevard 70/Advocate 70 CS (40 lbs.)
Safety 1st Complete Air (40 lbs.)
Learning Curve True Fit models (35 lbs. but taller than most)
Graco MyRide 65 (40 lbs)
Evenflo Triumph 65 (40 lbs.)
Evenflo Momentum 65 (40 lbs.)
Cosco Scenera (35 or 40 lbs)

You can either pass down the infant seat you’re using now for your daughter or you can start with a convertible.

Car-seat.org is the *best* place to go for car seat advice (Watch out for KitKat here who loves to give anti-car seat advice- she doesn’t know what she’s talking about)

We’re doing this for the third time now, so we’ve learned what works for us and what doesn’t.

I personally prefer the lighter-weight car seat (22 lbs) for the infant car seat, and then switching to a rear-facing convertable car seat when they outgrow the infant one. Then they can use the convertible from anywhere up to 40-80 pounds, depending on the model.

The reason is this: who wants to lug around a 30 lb baby in a car seat? The car seat itself weighs nearly 10 pounds, and by the time our babies were about 16-18 lbs, I wasn’t carrying them around in it anymore, anyways. So, the removable feature of the car seat was really nice when they were little, but it lost it’s usefulness way before they hit 30 pounds.

We’ve used Graco Snugride with all three. They’re lightweight, and comfortable for the baby. They’ve all seemed to enjoy being in them.

ge the lower one. you’re not going to be carrying a 30 pound child in a carrier. my 2 1/2 year old isn’t even 30 pounds. get the smaller one and switch to a convertible car seat

I think that it comes down to personal choice, but we moved our twins from their infant carriers to a rear-facing convertible seat at about 18 lbs give or take. They were just too heavy with the combined weight of the kid and the carrier and my son was nearing the height limit of the seat before he was anywhere near reaching the weight limit. It was in the winter and it was awkward trying to avoid ice and carrying a heavy kid in a bulky seat.

I would consider using her seat and investing in a good convertible seat that you will have for years when your little one outgrows the carrier.

Congrats and best wishes!

Take the Chicco! They aren’t in the infant seats long enough to purchase one IF you have a close friend or family member who you know hasn’t abused their seat and it isnt expired.
My girls move into Britax Marathons at about 5 months because even though they are well below the weight limit you have to be careful of the harness position too. They also remain rear facing much longer than a year. A rear-facing infant ‘carrier’ isn’t the only rear facing option and more and more convertible seats are changing their weight limits to 30lb+.
The best resource is a certified car seat technician or instructor. Look one up here and ask lots of questions: http://www.seatcheck.org/

if you are looking for whats the most durable and can last the longest im all for graco… we got the my ride 65 and its a rear facing to 45 lbs which is the safest carseat and the only carseat that can stay rear facing the longest.. it comes with little pads on the belts for infants and you can remove the headrest for older kids plus it has 2 cupholders that come in handy then you can face it fowards until 65 lbs and then all you would need would be a booster or nothing at all…

I have the Chicco car seat just like your SIL and I LOVE it! They make the Chicco seat in both weight classes, and I would HIGHLY recommend either one. The great debate of which size is a personal preference. We live in a 3rd floor walk up so we went with the smaller one b/c I didn’t want to lug 30 lbs of baby in a infant seat up that many steps. If you go to Babies R Us they display the weight of just the infant seats on the info tags and if I am remembering right the Chicco is only 1 lb heavier. (which in my opinion for the #1 rated safety infant seat it’s worth the extra pound.) I held my SIL’s empty baby trend infant seat in one hand, and my Chicco in the other and truth be told I thought her baby trend seat was heavier. I would also keep in mind that while the weight limit maybe higher I know on the Chicco seats that the height limit is the same. Your baby could very well outgrow the seat in length before weight. But like I said I LOVE my Chicco seat it is soooo easy to install the bases, and I love that I can loosen & tighten the straps on her seat to put her in and out of the seat easier, no awkward juggling of the baby to get her out of correctly tightened straps because I can easily loosen them then re-tighten them when she gets back in.

About the color….I have the black and lime green and I think it looks better in person then online. I think with a plainer seat when she’s in it in her cute outfits there isn’t anything to take away from how adorable my little girl is. Also they dont advise any after market changes or additions to safety seats b/c the seat is not crash tested with that certain piece. Which my insurance rep told me can actually void our insurance coverage to replace her seat in the event of an accident.

So I don’t know about all of that but i just got an email about this new car seat from Graco I think it is pretty cool it is a convertible one meaning infant to toddler, both rear facing and when old enough forward facing has a weight limit of 65 lbs. the only problem is you can’t carry it around I don’t think, but we hardly ever carry ours around. (my son is 3 1/2 months) but if i saw this before I probably would have got it still might cuz I have a very long baby

EDIT:

Yes it is the Graco – MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat I think they look pretty cool! I want one
