[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just found out we are expecting and have a few really basic questions about car seat and stroller systems:

1. Infant car seats typically can come out of the base and click into a compatible stroller system, but downside being infant car seats are no longer usable after ~6 months, right?

2. Convertible car seats are typically usable from infant to booster to seatbelt phase, but typically they do *not* come out of the car, right?

3. Convertible car seats are considered safer as the child can stay seated rear-facing for longer, right?

4. For the Uppababy/Mockingbird type modular stroller systems, what situation would you use the bassinet attachment vs the "regular" seat?

Thanks in advance![/quote]

1. Yes. Depends on weight/height but generally they’ll outgrow the bucket seat between 6-12 months.

2. Yes, convertible seats can be used from birth but do not come out of car. It depends which seat you get but some can be used until kid is ready to only use seatbelt.

3. Yes, rear facing is safest so get a seat with a high weight/height limit for extended RF.

4. I don’t know this system but generally bassinet is only used until baby can roll over (around 3 months) or for maybe still for stroller naps at least until baby can sit up unassisted (around 6 months).
