What brand of infant car seat has 3 slots for the shoulder straps?

I have a preemie and it was reccomended that the car seat she comes home in should have 3 slots for the shoulder straps-but the only carseats that have 3 or more slots are the convertiable ones that measure over 6 inches from the lowest position. My daughter requires to have 6 inches or less from the shoulder strap to the seat.

    Ours is Chicco and has 3! We love ours!

    Just make sure your doctors say you don’t need one similar to a 5 point harness belt! Our next door neighbors had a preemie too (5 months early!) and they needed one!

    our car seat is evenflo and it has the 3 slots. All the car seats the I have seen for babies up to 22 lbs. have the 3 slots.

    As far as I know, they all have 3 slots. I’ve never seen one that DOESN’T have 3 slots. If the hospital is recommending that you buy a certain kind, ask them where exactly you can find them. They should know since they do this all the time.

    Most safety techs that I know recommend a Britax Companion or Chicco KeyFit for a preemie.

    We used an Eddie Bauer adventurer, and it has 4 slots for the shoulder straps. I didn’t have a preemie but she was tiny and she fit it in very well. It is a min. of 5 lbs and 19 in for use, if that helps you at all. The car seat also was part of the stroller set. Best wishes.

    I have a Graco Safeseat in the Quinn design (the only place I was able to find it was ordering it online from Walmart.com) and it has 3 slots.

    I have an Eddie Bauer and it has three slots. I also have a baby trend that has slots AND you can turn the knob on the back to adjust the height and tighten it.

    As has been mentioned – they pretty much all have at least 3 slots, though I’ve never heard of a hospital saying such a thing before. The number of slots shouldn’t matter one bit with a preemie – what you’re looking for needs to have low bottome slots to be sure it will fit a preemie, and preferably, you need one that says from birth, not from 5lbs.

    The best seat for a preemie right now is probably the brand new Safety1st Onboard. Its been available for a while as a travel system, but now, at least on the Safety1st website, you can buy just the seat for $119. It has incredibly low bottom slots, and starts from 4lbs. Its marketed as a great seat for premies. And, to top it off, it has a built-in lockoff on the base, which means you’ll never have to use a lockoff with it. The bottom slots are rumored to be 5 inches. IT also goes by the name SureFit.

    As an aside, you have to use a lockoff in pre’97 cars b/c they don’t have locking belts.

    Upon looking it up – there are some infant seats that only have 2 slots stay away from:
    Baby Trend LatchLoc 22 7inches & 10.75inches
    Combi Centre 7.5″ & 10″
    Cosco Arriva 8.5″ & 10.5″
    Evenflo Discovery 7″ & 9.5″
    Graco SnugRide 8″ & 10.5″

    The rest have 3 slots, but most seats bottom slot is 7-9″. Evenflo Embrace has 5″ bottom slots, but Evenflo infant seats are throuougly difficult to use b/c most don’t have a front adjuster, and they have frequent recalls and sucky recall fixes. (One where they discovered seats were flying off the bases required parents to attach an additional strap from seat to base. Strap & unstrapping every time they use the seat!)
