Looking for an Infant Car Seat Cover for Graco Safeseat

I have a Graco Safeseat that is a little over 2 years old. We are expecting our 2nd child in November and would like to purchase a cover. Has anyone purchased one and how do they work? Are they safe to use? We had a lot of problems with our canopy popping off the side constantly...Would this solve that problem?

Chicco KeyFit 30 vs Graco SafeSeat or SnugRide32

I am exhausted from researching travel systems! any input on these 2 systems would be appreciated! I am really having a tough time making a decision. They seem quite similar, although there is about a $70 price diff. (chicco more expensive). I like one of the KeyFit patterns better than the available Graco patterns, but what really makes up the price diff? Also, I can't find the specs on the Chicco as to how much the car seat & stroller weigh. Any other things to consider? Sorry, I know there's so much info. out there - I've waded through...

Looking for an Infant Car Seat Recommendation for a non-SUV/ Non-mini Van Car

My first baby is due in September and I had recently purchased Graco's safeseat infant car seat, only to find that it doesn't quite fit in my 2006 Acura TL. I also just tried the Graco Snugride II, and it still doesn't fit. Surely, I'm not the only mom out there who doesn't have an SUV or minivan (or am I?) Does anyone have an infant car seat recommendation for a 4-door sedan? I would like to be able to put the infant car seat behind the driver's seat without having to move my seat to the dash board.

Infant Car Seat Vs. Convertible Car Seat

I'm a first-time Mom to be (in April) and have been trying to figure out what type of car seat to buy. I've had several people tell me their children grew out of the infant seat at 6-8 months (either for weight or for height). I'd like some opinions of whether or not an infant seat is absolutely necessary or if I could make due with the convertible seat. For instance, is it really easy to carry the infant seat around-seems like it would be heavy with the baby in it. Also, any tips on favorite brands would be appreciated. Thanks!

We are moving from the infant carrier to a forward facing car seat. I really can't justify spending $250 on one. Anyone have a strong opinion as to which ones are really good or worth the $$$?

Rear Facing Convertible for Small Car?

My 18lb, 29inch daughter will be 13 months old on Saturday. We are aware of the recommendations to now keep children rear-facing as long as possible and plan to do so. The problem we are having is that we have a small Kia. Since she has outgrown the height limit of her Graco Snugride at 29 inches and our convertible is too large to fit behind the seat in the rear-facing position, does anyone have a good suggestion for a small/trim/less bulky convertible that will work rear-facing for a while? I'm hoping to find a new carseat versus having...
