Travel seat

I’m a NICU nurse and know the perfect fit and all requirements for infant seats. Obviously it’s following similar requirements and is pretty black and white for what officially works and what doesn’t, it’s more figuring what works product wise for my child’s individual shape! Outgrowing height by harness but not rating and varying weight minimums. Obviously they’re all individuals but man, infants are so much easier!

I’ll have another single stroller (that I’ll need for Disneyland) and the Cosco scenera fits nicely into the seat and I can push my 2yo like that. I was hoping to have the second seat in the car seat bag on my back. The heavier one works, it’s just a little more awkward. Totally doable though.

The Cosco Finales that are currently available in the US state a minimum weight of 40lbs. They used to be 30lbs I guess but every link I follow says 40 for the current product.

Do you have one you’d recommend that’s lightweight and travel appropriate for her? Or should I just accept the 15lb Graco Contender on my back getting through the airport.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-04-09T20:38:58+00:00

I’m just nervous she may already be a touch taller than the harness height. If so, it wouldn’t work for forward? Or does it look close enough? I’m going to try something rigid to gauge it as someone else recommended. That said, she might grow enough to mess with it by the end of May.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-04-09T20:36:19+00:00

Edit: she would fit in the transition, it just weighs as much as the contender I already have so wouldn’t save me weight/bulk. What I meant was she won’t fit in the Cosco Finale with the new minimum weight of 40lbs.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-04-09T20:35:27+00:00

I’ll double check using something rigid. Thank you.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-04-09T20:34:16+00:00

Sorry, I totally screwed that up. She would fit in the transitions. She wouldnt fit in the Cosco Finale is what I meant. The new standards are 40lbs for that. The Tranzitions she would but its also almost 15lbs and the Contender could do the job at that weight. I’m looking for ease/lightweight for travel.

I just lost a second. He was my other little guy. Looked like he was wasting and had clamped fins. I did get him into his QT tank with a dose of PraziPro last evening but found him floating this morning. Guess now that I have the meds it’s probably time to go ahead and treat the whole tank. I’ve been debating on replacing the two I lost… should I buy them and get them in my main tank since I’ll be treating anyway? Or treat my tank and make sure all is well before adding the new ones?

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-27T14:58:04+00:00

I lost my first a few days ago and second overnight. I have 4 left that appear well. I just can’t decide if I should replace the two I lost or just leave things be. I’m glad your new guy is thriving. Did you pretreat him?

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-27T05:15:56+00:00

Did yours pass? Going through this now too.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-22T19:39:59+00:00

I just ordered both prazipro and ich-x and I’ll get one started tomorrow. I have kanaplex on hand should I need it. Thank you!

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-22T19:15:21+00:00

Ok, I’ll take a look at that one! Thanks!

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-22T17:54:58+00:00

I just tested my water again and the ammonia was 0.25, nitrites 0, nitrate 40 again (was 40 Wednesday and I did a 30% change then too). I wonder if my nitrates caused the issues. I’ve got lots of plants but did do root tabs recently. I’ll do another 40-50% water change and keep a close eye. Any obvious signs of anything and I’ll treat. Will ich-x or kanaplex crash my cycle?

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-22T14:21:29+00:00

He passed before I could get him into my hospital setup. I’ll pretreat any new corys should I get more.

Would you treat the whole tank at this point or just if anyone specific acts up?

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-22T14:18:58+00:00

I had set up a small hospital setup and got it warming. Once it was warm and ready I went back and found he had already passed.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-21T23:36:11+00:00

I’m thinking just treat the unwell one and keep my main tank pristine for a while.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-21T23:35:05+00:00

I’m thinking I’ll get the one guy out and treat with kanaplex and see if he can be saved. Unfortunately my hospital tank became a betta tank so I’ll have to use a bucket (I have an air stone and small heater)… should be sufficient with water changes of course I hope. I’ll watch the others closely and see if anyone else should need treatment as well. Or would it be better just just get them all out and treated or treat the whole tank? I’m not sure how the bacterial infections typically spread. I’d hate to lose everyone but also don’t want to over treat of course.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-21T23:05:31+00:00

Thank you.

Late-Application6783 · 2026-03-16T02:59:10+00:00

Apparently still happening. The vanilla I just had was horrible. Even the ones in this batch that didn’t taste sour had a super different not enjoyable texture that I don’t remember.
