Should I skip the bucket? - Page 3

We used a companion for dd and the safeseat would have been a waste. Before 4 months dd HATED they laying down position in an infant seat. So we switched her to a convertible.

I haven't read through the whole thread, but to answer the OP - I really liked the bucket for a winter baby. My kids were born in cold weather (Michigan - one in Nov and the other, Feb) and it was NICE to have a warm car seat to get them into inside the house, then just click it into the base in the car. I had big babies too (9 lb 8 oz and 8 lb 12 oz) and used the bucket for quite a few months. But once they outgrew that, we went to the roundabout.

Seems everything I would have said has been said, but since for many of us money is a big issue, I thought I'd point out that Babies R Us almost always has a coupon fot 20% off any one item. It's sometimes hard to find on the website, but you can always find the link on slickdeals. We bought our seat and extra base for the second car with coupons, which helped in the flurry of baby-needs-this shopping.

I say get the bucket too. We had one that we got from a friend, and I almost never took it anywhere, but it was great for restaurants before DS could sit in a high chair.
