I am interested in buying this item for my baby, instead of buying a regular carseat and in a few months buying a bigger one. Is this safe for a baby

Not an infant. My son is huge and he was in the infant seat until 11 months. Look at the weight ranges. Also infant seats are made so you don't have to pull a sleeping infant from the car, you carry the whole thing WAY easier when they are small. This seat is made to stay in the car

It is safe for baby if used correctly in the rear facing position with the infant insert and adjusted to the right shoulder height. Also be sure to stop by a safety expert's facility to make sure it's installed correctly. I used mine from the time he came out of the hospital.

It's listed as a convertible and has a insert for infants to help keep them more snug. We got the infant carseat to start just because it was easier if he was sleeping to take the carrier out of the base and not have to wake him. We didn't use the Britax until he was 7 months old.

It comes with inserts for a newborn and says on the manufacturer info. that it is for a newborn to up to a toddler. The lbs is listed on it, says 5-70lbs. The straps are a little on the heavy side (there is rubber on them) but it states that it can indeed be used for a newborn.... I used a lock in type at first and then bought this once my daughter hit 20 lbs...but it was more pricey to do that. It comes down to what is most affordable for you and what your preferences are. Maybe reach out to the manufacturer if you want more clarity. Hope this helps:)

Supposedly it is for children 5 to 65 pounds. I wouldn't recommend it though only because it doesn't recline as far back as the infant car seats. It also is not portable. You would have to take the baby in and out of the seat at each stop. I would highly recommend an infant seat for the convenience. It is a great car seat though!

No. It is not designed for that and would not be safe. However, the seats recline and the two back seats are safe for infants of 2-3 monthd

I bought it for that reason too but honestly... No. It's not like an infant base and if you have a small child you have to think about where to put them while you are trying to switch it between cars. It's not light. We have found it easier to have two separate carseats for our vehicles. I still love this seat, though, so it's in my car (which is used daily).

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

We have a Safety 1st Carseat and base, would that work with this stroller? We really don't want to have to buy a new carseat just to use with this stroller. We have a 2 year old and are expecting our second baby in mid January next year.

No, this car seat is for babies who are mostly outgrowing an infant car seat that fit with a stroller. It will however allow you baby to ride in the car from toddler 30 inch+/ 20lbs + through to age 7 or 8 as it will eventually become a booster seat.. so lots of years of use. My boy is 33 inches, 23 lbs and he's very happy in his seat. It's sturdy, and more wide than it is high, so I can see out the rear vision mirror ok. Anyway, hope this answers your question. You might want to ring Graco and verify with them directly about the Quick Connect system.

It isn't a snuzzler. It is only for the Ergo carrier, to be used with infants 7lbs-12lbs. Carseat inserts other than those made by the carseat manufacturer void your carseat warranty.

No you'll want the b-safe infant car seat. This one does not easily go in and out.

I was told by a thrift shop owner NOT TO BUY a used car seat under any condition. you don't know if it was in an accident!! made a lot of sense. only buy a NEW car seat because the rules and protective knowledge is improving every day. the thrift shop own was very strong not to buy any car seat used or recycled. so it makes sense, buy new. your baby is more important than money. Grace co didn't work for our car. we were unhappy to use a rolled up towel, as suggested in directions, to steady the seat! really.

Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs. Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately). However, you may find an "infant carseat" more satisfactory and/or convenient for the first six months of your baby's life, as they are portable. We moved up to the Britax Advocate 70-G3 when our baby out-grew her "infant seat". Furthermore, if expense is key and you can not aford to buy two carseats, infant seat and convertable seat, then get the convertable seat as it will last you the longest and it is the best value for your money. Good luck with your little one! Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs.

Yes. I've doublechecked with safety groups and it's appropriate to use with the britax car seats, as they were made and tested with them. As far as the mini-stroller, it worked in ours much longer than I wanted to use it in the car seat. We have a pavillion and by about 17lbs the cushioning in the seat was enough to not need this and it made her more uncomfortable by that point (we used it from birth, so she did like it when she was 7lbs.) The stroller, I used it longer because it kept her a bit warmer along the sides and let her rest her head a bit more. She's a year old now and took it out this week.

I work as a family nurse practitioner... Plus have 2 kids, one who is old enough to use this booster (which we love). Safest recommendation-- wait until 40lbs to use this booster, even though your kiddo is technically tall enough to use it. Frustrating, I know. But the 3-point carseat is safest until they reach 40lbs.

My baby just turned 10 months she is comfy in it. Especially after I took the pads off in the shoulders. I can't help you with the car but I do have a huge SUV and it's still tight but honestly any car seat is..... any safe car seat is going to be tight. Once you turn it around you will be fine. I put mine behind my seat which is why I say it's tight o can't move my seat back much that's my only issue hope this helps. It's a great seat I'm glad I chose it. Safest one out there beats all of them.

I have a safety first car seat. The snap n go itself is light and compact. I just think there have to be better ones out there. Now I either use the baby bjorn or my carriage!

A lot of car seats stats are greatly exaggerated. Maybe in some circumstance with a tall 5lb baby it worked, but 99.9% of the time it won't. I've heard this seat doesn't fit most babies until at least 5-6mo. Since your baby is on the smaller side I would give it a couple more months.
