Convertible car seat

I’m looking for convertible car seats and would love recs. The car seat will be in an Audi Q3. I’m short so it’s okay if my seat is forward a little bit.

I’m looking at these but am open to suggestions

  1. Graco (extend2fit or other options)

  2. Chicco (25% off right now) (we have the key fit 35 and have loved it)

  3. Nuna Rava

My baby is not very heavy but is tall so I would like them to be rear facing as long as possible obv.

Most important things to me are

  1. Safety (yes I know they’re all compliant but I don’t think all are made equally)

  2. $400 or less

  3. Good for taller toddlers

Thanks!

Dumb question

I have a dumb question. When you lengthen wake windows, do you also shorten naps at the same time? For example, if you want an 11 hour night but sleep needs are 13 hours, do you lengthen wake windows to 11 hours and cap naps to 2 hours the same day? Do you lengthen ww and then start capping naps a few days later?

Sorry if this is stupid but I need help lol

Early mornings

Hello! We had to re-sleep train and re-night wean our 1 year old after back to back illnesses that lead to falling back into nursing to sleep every couple of hours.

It’s been 6 nights and baby has been waking up every morning between 5-5:30 and won’t go back to sleep. Previously I would nurse back to sleep at this time and get baby back to sleep till about 6:30.

We’ve left baby in crib,lights out till 6 am everyday but there’s been no improvement yet.

I’m wondering if this is something we need to just wait out, or if there need to be some schedule adjustments. (Maybe baby just caps out at a 10 hour night? Too much day sleep?)

Wake windows are typically 3/3.5/4 with naps capped at 2.5 hours bedtime 7pm. (A few days I’ve let naps run long to compensate but that could be adding to the problem)

Any tips or ideas would be much appreciated.

We sleep trained and weaned 2 months ago, had about a week of awesome sleep then baby got sick back to back. Now she’s waking up every 2 hours to nurse back to sleep. Baby still falls asleep independently for bed but won’t go back to sleep after wakes. First time I weaned I picked 2 times at night to feed while asleep and lowered the time each night. Should I do that again or should I do something else.

Schedule is 3/3.5/4-4.25 with naps capped at 2.5. Anything above or below that schedule leads to worse nights. Baby will be 1 next week

I sleep trained at 9.5 months and it went fairly well. Then baby got sick twice and night feeds were reintroduced. Now baby is almost 12 months and is waking 3 times to eat and will not go back to sleep without eating.

Feeds are roughly 12am, 2-3, 4-5. Each time gets harder to get baby back to sleep.

Current schedule is 3/3.5/4 and baby seems to do well with that schedule - except for the feeds at night

How do I night wean with this schedule? Last time I night weaned we were transitioning from cosleeping and I just chose 2 random times to feed at night
