Grandma (my mom) lives out of state, and we'll only be seeing her once in awhile. We have to fly to see her (California to Texas) My son is her first grandchild, but she hopes for more and wants to buy a carseat that:
1) will work when we visit her when my son is 4 months old
and
2) will last him and other potential grandkids as long as possible
and
3) is on the less expensive side. She doesn't need a fancy one since it won't be used that often.
What convertible carseats do you recommend, if you recommend one? My son right now, at 7 weeks, is 12 pounds, 23 inches. Should she just buy an infant seat? I don't plan to bring my infant carseat on the plane in June because I'll be traveling alone and don't think I can carry it and luggage and baby. She wants to purchase one anyhow so that we don't have an excuse not to visit.
Thank you for your input.
