I took finn's out 2 weeks ago and he's fine without it. He actually looks more comfortable now.

Yeah but the only thing that concerns me is if we get into an accident or smoething her head wont be supported. Otherwise i'd rip that piece of crap out lol.

I don't think they're for supporting their heads in an accident. I think they're just so their heads don't slump over. Ours was smushy and flimsy, I don't think it would have done anything in an accident.

Yeah, they are just their to support their head in general...Not for an accident. Adriana was born pretty much lookin' around, but I kept that head support in for quite awhile, because I tried taking it out once and her poor little head flopped around like a wet noodle. Is the carseat able to be adjusted at all, like move the belt up a slot or 2?

Just pointing out, when they're rear-facing the straps need to be in the slots at or just below their shoulders.

We're getting ready to move finn into his big boy car seat. He's getting too long for the bucket and he's too heavy to carry in it anyway. We got him the britax marathon and he looks soooo tiny in it. He looks like he's ready to blast off for space in that thing!

what? Finn's going into the larger car seat

Finn is total beefcake. Hercules .Hercules! *claps hands*

i've heard that some where, but I can't put my finger on it..

The .Nutty .Professor

I took .Kaylee's headrest thing out last week & she looks soo much comfier when we go places now.

Aww that's so cute that .Finn's goin to a big boy carseat already!! He's such a cutie!

.Michelle

hahahahahaha!! That's right!!! My husband use to imitate him

Are you keeping finn in a rear facing car seat?????

of course! You're supposed to keep them rear-facing until they're 1 and 20 pounds.

The britax marathon is a convertible seat. It's rear-facing for up to 33 pounds, then forward facing up to 65. So it'll last us until he's big enough for a booster.

I can't wait to use it! It looks so awesome and comfy and when I put him in it in the house he just smiles like a fool. I'm going to wait until it's warmer though because I don't put him in a snowsuit and I don't want to carry him out to the car in the winter with just a blanket. I'm going to have massive arm muscles by the time winter is over from lugging him around in his bucket.

We never used one. Chuy's head never flopped around. He's held it up on his own since birth.

yeah I know that they are to stay in the infant seat until 12 months. I was just wondering if that is what you ment. Sorry.

Hey .B.... How much is .Finny weighing in at now?

As of january 18th he weighed 14 lbs 8 oz and was 25 inches long. Now i'd say he's probably around 15-16 pounds and he's probably grown longer too. He's a big boy but he doesn't look chunky (except those cheeks). He's already too long for half of his 3-6 month one piece outfits.

lol damn! We've got some big munchkins on our hands. Caty is 14 pounds 3 ounces and 25 inches long.. She fits a lot of her 12 month clothes and no way in .Hades can she fit any 0-3 months.

The doc says shes perfect weight tho. I guess im just not used to it since .Jacob is so petite.

She's in her 12 month clothes? Wow!

I bought finn a little shorts outfit for summer yesterday and I didn't know what size to get (he won't be able to wear it until late june-ish), so I got 18 months. It makes me sad to have to buy big clothes for my giant baby. His doctor said he's in the 90th % for weight and 95th for height. I think I have a future football player on my hands (even though nick's hoping for a baseball player).

Here he is showing off his new car seat. I thought he looked tiny in it but he doesn't look so small in these pictures!





i want one of those seats for me!
