re: Convertible car seat question?

Quoting FTM Michelle  :" He's about 17.5 lbs, 26 1/2 inches head to feet. torso height i have no clue. He is 5 months. And no specific car."

ok, so he's average weight, and a little on the taller side.
Best bet is take him to a babies r us or buy buy baby BUT I would suggest a grago mysize 70 (also called something else but i don't remember) a graco my ride or radian with angle adjuster once he hits 6 months

I'm basing thise on the fact that rear facing is safest until 2, and longer if possible.

Quoting *Mary Moon*:" <blockquote><b>Quoting BetterOffSingle!:</b>" most of the time you need the angle ... [snip!] ... My son is 13 months so it should all work out fine. I would have to get it online though. Have never seen one in stores here."

I LOVE mine!
I didn't know about the AA then though

Now what is the angle adjuster? ..... well it adjusts the angle but why does it need to be a certain angle at 6 months?

umm after 6 months and a baby has more head control the seat can sit up a little more upright which gives a little more room an the car and in some cars the seat will sit overly reclined which can frustrate the baby and give a bad instal in the car.
