I would do both . I purchased an infant seat and got my Daughter’s convertible as a gift . The infant seat is definitely good for when they’re smaller and you just wanna go to the store real quick and can click them in and out easily . The convertible is good for when they’re a little bigger
And heavier

I would definitely do both. We only used the infant car seat for 4 months, but I wish we had used it longer. It’s SUPER convenient to be able to take it out especially when the baby falls asleep.

I have both. I use the infant seat because to me it’s quicker since I can click her in already strapped in. I get the convertible seats if they’re on sale so I can have them for when she grows out of it.

I use an infant car seat until they are about six months old and then switch them to a forever seat

If you can do both I would. The infant or pumpkin to me is convenient, especially for instances such as not wanting to wake your child up just to load or unload.
