In reply to plussizebirth. Yeh I know how hard it is in winter to remove all their thick warm coats etc. I have on occasion been a bit lazy with this I confess. This coming winter I may just update his coats to thinner ones, or just use more blankets instead of coats to make it easier to make the transfer in and out of the car

I wouldn’t risk an expired car seat. Technically we could have gotten away with not having my kids in seats at all or either of us never wearing seat belts since none of us have been in an accident. But in the event that we were in an accident I want to know we did everything in our power to stay safe. I get what you’re saying and there are some foods that I’ll still eat if they’re fine after the best before date, but the risk isn’t nearly the same. If you want to save money then just move your baby to the convertible seat when the infant seat expires. Many can be used from birth now and ones like Clek and Diono have lifespans of around 10 years so they should make it through to the booster years.

In reply to COMama. If your seat doesn't RF past 22 pounds, it's time for a new seat. Most RF to 35-40 pounds. Physics are physics. They are FAR safer RF than FF.

In reply to COMama. I hear your frustration! At least with this issue all resources echo the same message - don't put your kids in their car seat wearing a winter coat.

I get frustrated because I never know who to believe. When you go to these informational sites always always always talk about a style of car seat I do not own. So, I read the manual for the car seat. And my manual says that the car seat must be front facing if the child is one year AND 22 pounds. If the child is not restrained like this the warranty is void regardless of the type of failure. When I go to car seat websites run by DOT or talk to fire departments I am told to comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations. So, who do I believe?
