Car seat question

[Mrs.flang]

I can’t find the infant insert for our car seat, which is supposed to be used up to 12 lbs. For that kind of accessory does it need to be specific to the car seat we have or can I get a generic one or a different brand? I haven’t done too much research yet but I need it ASAP and I didn’t see this brand on BUybuy baby or available on prime.

It needs to be specific to that seat as that's what it has been crash tested with. Anything else is an after market item and you don't want any of those.

I'm pretty sure I have an extra Chicco Keyfit30 infant insert. I couldn't find ours so I bought a new set from Chicco, then I found the original, then my BIL and SIL decided to buy their own seat anyway and didn't need to borrow ours.

I can look, or if you feel more comfortable, you can always buy directly from Chicco. www.chiccousa.com/our-products/replacement-parts/keyfit-head-and-body-insert/12071015.html?dwvar_12071015_color=Fire&cgid=gear_replacement_parts#start=1

This is the one I need I just was hoping to find it somewhere where I wouldn’t have to pay for expedited shipping!

DH said he’d help me look more tomorrow but I’m freaking out a little because I waited so long to do this.

I just saw your ticker. Is there anyone you can borrow one from until you're able to get a new one shipped to you? Any sort of local moms group you're part of? Coworkers? Neighbors? FB friends? That might be you're best best to get one by this weekend just in case!

Specific to the seat. I would call Chicco.

SIL is going to loan us her infant seat until we find or replace our insert. So if DH doesn't find it tonight I'll just order from chicco with regular shipping.
