when did your babies car seat go in the car?

We had ours put it at the seat fitting place a few weeks before she was due.
The guy spent ages talking to us about the seat and making sure we understoood how to use it and all that. He was really helpful.

With DS (1st pregnancy) We had the car seat installed when I was around 6 months... lol. It came out a couple of times but went straight back in. With DD, DH installed it when he got home from hospital after me having DD.

It was installed by my father two days before DS was born (9 days after his EDD). My DH was afraid he wouldn't put it in correctly and my dad had installed the car seats for all 3 of my sisters kids so had a great deal of practice!

With DS is was put in about 2 weeks before he was due, when I started maternity leave. With DD it was the same, when I started maternity leave.

We put ours in a week before MJ was born and then took it out again (just so we knew that it ftted properly), i didnt see the point of driving around with it in the car... Although i was glad that we did fit it early as i needed to get an extention.
I was in hosp 6 days (emerg c/s) so it was refitted before coming to pick us up.
TBH it is the last thing that you really need to do, its not like you need it for the trip to the hopsital, so dont stress too much about it
