What do you mean by she doesn't fit? How? Too short or what?My newborn daughter fit when she was 8lbs and 21 inches just fine. She is now 20lbs and 29 inches long and still fit great. She loves this seat very comfortable and she falls asleep with in 2 minutes of being put in it :) my s don who is now 3 also has the same one as she does he had it since birth and still fits into his great! It was well worth the money and glad they both like their car seats :)

A lot of car seats stats are greatly exaggerated. Maybe in some circumstance with a tall 5lb baby it worked, but 99.9% of the time it won't. I've heard this seat doesn't fit most babies until at least 5-6mo. Since your baby is on the smaller side I would give it a couple more months.

My baby is 5 months 18lbs and he has no issues. He even wears cloth diapers too and the bulkiness doesn't seem to affect him fitting in the chair.

what I can say is that my daughter is 5 35pounds and 110cm height....she loves it. but you should check their webpage I think there is a weight limit......

Well my pomarian fits in it. An she's about 5lbs. I think you should try something else.

Oh yeah, definitely time. My baby was a year and she's very tiny, fifteenth percentile, but she fits just fine. Your baby will be a lot more comfortable in a toddler seat. Mine was anyway.

My daughter will be four months in two weeks and weighs 13lbs. It zips up and buckles fine and can be tightened to fit a smaller baby. The only drawback is that it is ver long so the top of it squishes all around her face.

I didn't think they fit well until the baby was at least 10 pounds. Havent gotten to the 2 years mark yet.

Well can't say for sure but, I can say this our daughter is already 13 month's and she is above average in height and she seems to have room and works well, I would stop at babies r us and try one similar and put baby in and if fits order it...

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

My daughter is 5 months old and still fits it. But I dont recommend this thing. I bought it for almost $100.00 and was very disappointed. It moves really slow and makes noise. I would suggest buying a swing.

Our daughter was 7 lbs 14oz and these did not fit her correctly until she was about 3 months old. They "fit" her, but they were too wide around the legs which was just messy. We used prefolds until she was about 3 months. It really depends on the size of your baby and the proportions of his/her body. In general, these do not tend to fit brand new babies. :)

My daughter is 15 lbs and still has room to get bigger in 3 to 6 month. It goes to 18 lbs. :)

We bought this for #4 with the same idea as you...get rid of the carrier kind so I could use a wrap for the baby and have more hands for the other kids. However, our baby was 8lbs. 4oz and 22 in long and, bringing him home was a big pain. I don't know how in the world you would get a smaller baby in there! It took a month to get comfortable stashing him in; and rolling receiving blankets around, etc. Now he's plenty big and the seat is sturdy but we are having issues adjusting straps as he grows. We think the Britax 55 is a huge pain in the 'bottom'.

My baby is 13 lbs but it seems like it can support a lot more. I think it would work.

It didn't for ours as our baby was only close to six pounds when born. She is six mounths old now and still small for her size she does fit it good now. Hope this helps.

I think from birth is fine. Our little guy is now 13 pounds, 22 inches, and fits really well. When he was born he was early at 5 pounds and change; he didn't fit well at that time, but sometime in between everything worked out, probably all depends on length. Even when he was was tiny we put him in once for a short walk and just reclined the back so that there wasn't as much effect of gravity. The next time we tried it after that he was around 8-9 pounds and was fine. Hope that helps some.

My 9 month old 43.6 lbs standard fits perfectly. She's long and skinny. I fear once she gets older and bigger I'll have to upgrade. However, I am not 100%.
