car seat straps
What brand of infant car seat has 3 slots for the shoulder straps?
I have a preemie and it was reccomended that the car seat she comes home in should have 3 slots for the shoulder straps-but the only carseats that have 3 or more slots are the convertiable ones that measure over 6 inches from the lowest position. My daughter requires to have 6 inches or less from the shoulder strap to the seat.
As has been mentioned – they pretty much all have at least 3 slots, though I’ve never heard of a hospital saying such a thing before. The number of slots shouldn’t matter one bit with a preemie – what you’re looking for needs to have low bottome slots to be sure it will fit a preemie, and preferably, you need one that says from birth, not from 5lbs.
The best seat for a preemie right now is probably the brand new Safety1st Onboard. Its been available for a while as a travel system, but now, at least on the Safety1st website, you can buy just the seat for $119. It has incredibly low bottom slots, and starts from 4lbs. Its marketed as a great seat for premies. And, to top it off, it has a built-in lockoff on the base, which means you’ll never have to use a lockoff with it. The bottom slots are rumored to be 5 inches. IT also goes by the name SureFit.
As an aside, you have to use a lockoff in pre’97 cars b/c they don’t have locking belts.
Upon looking it up – there are some infant seats that only have 2 slots stay away from:
Baby Trend LatchLoc 22 7inches & 10.75inches
Combi Centre 7.5″ & 10″
Cosco Arriva 8.5″ & 10.5″
Evenflo Discovery 7″ & 9.5″
Graco SnugRide 8″ & 10.5″
The rest have 3 slots, but most seats bottom slot is 7-9″. Evenflo Embrace has 5″ bottom slots, but Evenflo infant seats are throuougly difficult to use b/c most don’t have a front adjuster, and they have frequent recalls and sucky recall fixes. (One where they discovered seats were flying off the bases required parents to attach an additional strap from seat to base. Strap & unstrapping every time they use the seat!)
