If you put it in early and don't have tinted windows put a towel or blanket over it. With my first daughter I had a navy colored on and put it in at 32 weeks and just left it in the car. When my husband brought it in the hospital it was noticeably sun faded on one side :(

We installed the bast at like 35 weeks. But didn't put the carseat in until we headed to the hospital

im planning on doing it around 36 weeks. im 33 now. i have it all ready to go though just in case. were taking a different vehicle to the hospital than were bringing him home in though, but id just like to have it in my truck and ready so hubby doesnt have to do it when he comes home to switch vehicles.

I am 27 weeks and my doctor suggested getting it ready now so it does not get forgotten at home.
