A child's brain grows the most during the first five years of life, reaching 90 percent of its final size. Growth also affects different parts of the body at different rates; the head almost reaches its entire size by age 1. Throughout childhood, a child's body becomes more proportional.
Growth is complete between the ages of 16 and 18, when the growing ends of bones fuse. Birth: 5. This increase is the result of rapid brain growth. The average head circumference at birth is roughly By the end of the first month, it increases to roughly 15 in.
From being six to 12 months old your baby should be weighed no more than every other month. Usually, your baby will gain weight most rapidly in the first six to nine months. Their rate of growth will gradually slow down as they become a toddler and are more active. If your baby or toddler is ill, their weight gain may slow down for a while.
It will usually return to normal within two to three weeks. Lugging an infant seat with a 32 pound baby in it is going to be ridiculous. Get the regular one and register for a reversible one as well.
Some of course are bigger, some are littler. My oldest was almost 20 lbs at 6 mnths and then still did not hit 21 lbs at a year. My youngest two were tiny, tiny My daughter weighed 20 lbs about 13 or 14 months, but different babies grow at different rates and there is a good chance your child could outgrow the 22 lb seat before their first birthday.
We have the Graco Safeseat which goes up to 32 lbs and we used it quite frequently until about 11 months. We switched to the convertible though and I preferred that hands down over the carrier. We will use the carrier for our new DD, but only for the winter months and I will place her in our extra Marathon.
My 19 month old weighs 20 lbs. She seems to be stuck at 20 lbs. I prefer the infant carseat when there are infants but got a convertible car seat when she was a year old and turned it forward facing otherwise her legs would have been cramped. It all depends on the kid.
My DD is 18 months and still under 20 pounds, but she isn't on the weight chart. My 4 month old nephew weighs the same as my 18 month old and my good friend's 8 month old is the same. We moved to a convertible rear facing at about 10 months because DD hated not being able to see out anymore. I had stopped taking the car seat out of the car at about 6 months because it was to heavy for me. Regardless of when your child hits 20 pounds, you have to consider the law where you live about forward facing.
