Newborn carseat wedge and head hugger

in My baby was born in May 2010
We had to take it out yesterday :cry: Jensen's growing up too fast and he's only got a few weeks left in in pram! Anyone else had to remove the wedge and convert the pram into buggy mode yet?

Blue Gecko & Jensen 15 weeks x

    I took ours out 2-3 weeks ago, she looked so squished and uncomfortable! She seems happier in it now (although not much, she hates her car seat!). I do worry about head wobble but she usually gets into a comfy position to one side and nods off quite happily.

    I didn't have a pram insert, I've just got a pushchair that reclines flat - although I even look at her in that sometimes and think OMG she nearly fills it and she's only 3.5 months old how will she fit in at age 1-2!!!!! lol.

    The wedge has been out of the cabriofix since Ryan was about 11 weeks I think, his feet were hanging off the edge and his bum was so far forwards he was sitting on the crotch strap...haven't used it for a few weeks but put him in it yesterday and his head was so squashed- time for the head higher to go strangely in his maxicosi pebble he's still fine with both in...his feet are just starting to reach the edge! We made the change to pram at 14weeks4days old image please stop growing so fast x

    Our carseat wedge only went up to 12lbs, so it was removed about 2 weeks ago. Sophie looks much more comfortable with it out though.

    We have a lie flat puschair and never had a cot / pram insert. Now she can sit really well supported I sometimes prop her up in it, she enjoys it so much more when she can see what's going on!

    We took the wedge out about three weeks ago cos I was worried about banging her feet as they were hanging over! She's still got the head higher but keeps trying to sit up so her heads mostly out of it! It's the mc pebble so I think she might have it in for a bit longer yet!

    Head hugger came out of a seat a few weeks ago as she was looking a bit squashed. Still in pram mode at the moment, we tried her in the buggy part a few weeks ago but she didn't look very comfortable when she was asleep and wriggled so much it was a nightmare getting her in and out so I decided to keep the pram for as long as I could!

    Growing up so fast though.

    PP - our maxi cosi had a one piece removable foam padded wedge seat with head hugger so it kept lo's head in place but also meant she wasn't sitting to deep into the seat when she was tiny x

    I only nipped to the shop earlier as the weather is so rubbish today and she screamed - I wish she liked the blinkin car seat!!!! She's fine if she's watching tree's and the car is moving (most of the time) - but the minute I stop she has the screaming abdabs! lol x

    The wedge is attached to the headhugger so raises them! I didn't realise until a friend told me and was thinking I'm going to have to get a new car seat at this rate as his legs were hanging out the end! I also didn't realise that the carseat has a sun canopy bit and kept hanging muslims over the bar in the sun .... oh dear! x

    thanks - corkys wife i was also thinking i would need a new car seat (d'uh) as her legs hang over now and she has started to kick them against the back seat...im not as bad as not noticing the canopy thing though lol -

    i realised after posting this and going to put Megan in the thing that the wedge was staring me right in the face all along (after i pulled at the head hugger bit) so might have to be moving it in a few weeks i dont really want to though but she is quite long (shes only 12 weeks though and was 13lbs 12oz today)
