Seeking Advice on Car Seat Decision

I am currently pregnant with our second child. We are having a little trouble deciding on car seats. We had a carrier/stroller combo with our nearly 3 year old, but unfortunately the carrier was one that was recalled. I don't feel comfortable using it again with our next baby, even if the repairs are made which leaves us with our dilemma. Do we buy another carrier/base combo for the few months that our kiddos seems to use it (our son was out of it within 6 months) or do we buy a convertible seat and be done with it? We are going to buy...

10 Wk Old Unhappy in Car Seat

We have a Graco Snugride car seat, and my 10 wk old daughter cries uncontrollably when in it. She screams, cries, tearing, red faced, fist shaking, to the point of almost gagging... it is just awful. I dread long car rides, pull over every 5-10 minutes. She can be perfectly happy before getting in the seat, and still has this reaction. My son was in the same seat and was fine. We have changed the angle by adding padding underneath the base, didn't help. We are going to try another seat. My question is, has anyone had this experience?...

Car Seat Dilemma

I have a 9 and a half month old daughter who is almost too tall for her infant seat. One more inch and she will have outgrown it. Right now she weighs just uner 18 pounds so I'm looking at convertible seats so she can ride facing the rear until she's put on enough weight to face forward. In addition, I have a bad back (surgery in 05) and carrying her and the car seat together is very tough on my back. Here's the dilemma: sometimes she naps in her infant car seat while I grocery shop. She also tends to fall asleep on the way home from...

Looking for an Infant Car Seat Recommendation for a non-SUV/ Non-mini Van Car

My first baby is due in September and I had recently purchased Graco's safeseat infant car seat, only to find that it doesn't quite fit in my 2006 Acura TL. I also just tried the Graco Snugride II, and it still doesn't fit. Surely, I'm not the only mom out there who doesn't have an SUV or minivan (or am I?) Does anyone have an infant car seat recommendation for a 4-door sedan? I would like to be able to put the infant car seat behind the driver's seat without having to move my seat to the dash board.
