Hi all,
My 4 1/2 month old is 8 kilos and is currently in a capsule and it is getting too heavy for me to lift. When changing over to the rear carseats is it from 9 kgs or can you start from his current weight? ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Can you still keep him in the carseat, just not carry it around? We have Maddi still in her capsule sometimes and we just leave it in the car because shes far to heavy for me to lift. I think shes about 8kg also. -------------

There are a lot of rear-facing carseats that start from birth plus. If you're looking to buy a new carseat maybe look into one of those. -------------

Caden has a Safe N Sound carseat and its for birth-toddler age. So once he is old enough we can flip it round and use it until he is 18kg or something.
The new baby is going to have the same carseat, not sure if Im going to do the whole capsule thing again, as I wont be able to carry that round and push caden in the pram! lol ------------- |
