"22 lb weight limit"?
So 21.5 lb is ok but 22.5 will lead to catastrophic failure?
also is there a reference for this rather bold (and imho misleading) statement?
In order to be FAA compliant, any child under 22 lbs cannot be faced forward in a Scenera.
The question to ask is why would you want a 22lbs forward facing when rear-facing is so much safer and comfortable?
Most babies outgrow car seats by height, not weight. Mine were well under the weight limit when they outgrew all of theirs'. Babies are usually way too small for the car seat by the time they get to the weight limit and often, those infant-bucket styled seats are uncomfortable at that age. They're cramped and want to sit up more. If there's a lot of driving at the destination, then a convertible makes much more sense.
