Car seat help?
Our daughter Clara is 6 and has has Primordial dwarfism which puts her at 1’5” tall and 18 pounds Right now we have her in a rear facing infant bucket car seat, she has plenty of room to grow into it as she has the newborn insert installed with plenty of room currently, and given how she is growing, we are not sure when she will outgrow her current car seat, she will most likely be able to use this car seat for years and years . I feel as though this is the only car seat that is safe for her. Given how fragile she is physically (similar to an infant if not more) mixed in with her height and weight. In terms of height she is smaller than a newborn, and in terms of physical development it is comparable to an 8 month old depending on what you were looking at. We have also been told to keep her on a newborn recline because of this. She uses the newborn insert because of her muscle and bone development and how fragile she is, and five point Because this is a rear facing infant bucket, it doubles as an infant carrier. This is extremely useful given that Clara tires out very easily due to her size and strength. She does have a traditional stroller as well as a baby carrier that we can wear. With her car seat though it can snap into its own stroller. Should we keep using the bucket seat or not?
is there also a way she could be able to climb up into it herself? Right now I usually lift her into the car seat, I am buckling her in just like anyone would with it your typical infant, due to her physical limitations. Anything can be half her height or more. It would be amazing if Clara could climb all the way from the ground up into her car seat and buckle herself in completely on her own. Given her height, the regular seat is pretty high up for her, and any car seat makes it quite a bit higher for her than it already is, even more so a rear facing. It would still be awesome if she could climb up herself safely because she doesn’t want to be treated like a toddler and lift it up into the car seat, we would also need something to help her climb up onto the floorboard, and then from there up onto the seat. Right now she isn’t tall enough to climb up on the floorboard, and even if she did she again isn’t tall enough to climb up onto the regular car chair. She also has trouble climbing over the side to get into her car seat seat. Even when it is on the ground the sides are slightly too tall for her to climb in. Does anyone have any ideas on how Clara can climb all the way up to her car seat when it is installed?
