Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 My wife and I are having a baby girl soon and we have found out that she has bilateral clubfoot. We have heard that it is difficult to find a carseat that accomodates the braces after the casts are taken off. Any advice as to what works best and particular carseat brand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Matt... You will not have a problem with your little girl in her carseat. My son was in the Dennis Brown bar until he was 8 months old. His car seat was still turned around and he fit in it just fine. His bar didn't hit the seat and the width across can accomodate the brace. He was actually in the infant carrier until the very end of his 8th month when we finally put him in the Britax Roundabout and both seats were not a problem at all. Good luck with your new little girl. 2/9/04 DBB nights only mtierns mtierns@...> wrote: My wife and I are having a baby girl soon and we have found out that she has bilateral clubfoot.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I've had no problem either - I think it has to do a lot with how big your baby is...you know some are just big for their age. s.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Matt- You shouldn't have a problem. My son was born at 10 lbs and 21 1/2 inches long with CF he went into the DBB at 9 weeks and was 16 pounds, we had no problem with the infant carrier or the regular car seat. > > > My wife and I are having a baby girl soon and we have found out that > she has bilateral clubfoot.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 You shouldn't have a problem, just try to get one with a wide bottom to accomodate the bar. We used the evenflo travel system, tons of room even with her using a 14 " adjustable bar, our daughter outgrew the carrier at 6 mo's and we now use an Eddie Bauer car seat.
