Convertible Car Seat/Christmas Present Ideas

My dear friend, Marci, needs your comments about infant car seats.

She writes, "I want to know if anyone has a CONVERTIBLE car seat.....Ky is a chubby monkey and will grow out of his infant seat really soon. So for Christmas he is gettin a new one and i would like help choosin a good one."

She also wants Christmas toy/gift ideas that she can give to Grandparents and family members. Cute little Kyler is 6 months so toys/gifts that are 6 months to one year would be perfect.

Doctor Car Seat Recommendation

I just brought my Hallie in for her ONE year check up and while waiting for the doctor I read a paper on the wall informing me that they (some doctor's association) now recommend keeping your infant in a rear facing seat until they are TWO years old. When the doctor came in she repeated the same thing to me. (It used to be a combination of one year and 20 pounds)

I already have Hallie in a front facing car seat and we BOTH love it so I don't plan on switching her back, but I thought some of you might like to know.

So the scoop is keep your child in a rear facing seat until they are two years old. Next thing we know kids are going to need to be in a car seat until they are eight years old. Wait a second...... Oh yeah that's LAW!
