Why do I want to buy new seats when the ones I have are perfectly fine? :p:whistle:

Geez tell me about it. I would just keep buying car seats for Africa if I could afford to, I really would. If I could afford to I'd import every single Swedish seat I could! But I'll have to make do with the two I have lol.

Welcome to the world of "car seat addiction" :P

I want to try out a EFTA seat and we have one Boulevard, one Marathon and Radians. Sounds stupid, huh? :whistle:

No, not stupid, a little funny though. :D I was telling my mom, and she said, well that's an expensive hobby! ;)

I soooo know what you mean. Now that I've found out the compass true fit is going to be available in Canada, I'm itching to try it out. :o

I'm already planning on buying the nautilus when it eventually heads this way.

At least right now I can just call the extra radian and eventual extra MA as back-up seats or seats to use when we eventually get a 2nd car. Beyond that I'd have troubles justifying to dh why we needed a 5th carseat. :whistle:

I know exactly how you feel :)
And the more I learn about them, the worse it gets....
DH looked at me like I was NUTS when I told him I wanted to sell our (brand new) GNs to buy Regents (and then he said NO :( ).

Well, thank goodness I'm not the only one!! I just bought the GN and LOVE it, I tried out the EFTA but hated it, now I'm waiting for the Safety First Uptown. Hey, is there a support group for the husbands?:ROTFLMAO:

I was planning on using the SS1 for the baby for a long time, and she is already 17 lbs & not even 5 months old yet. DS could be in the BV for a long time but I just want a new one lol. I don't like the print on mine.

Lol, i've been addicted since i had Dakota, that baby had 4 diffrent infant buckets. Its just to bad i didn't research and buy the good seats first, i just changed out car seats when i found a different pattern/car seat i liked. Of course i had a $100 limit. I think i got new seat about every other month with Dakota. I wasn't so bad with Kaleb(cause then i had to buy 2 new seats because they HAD to match).

Now with Colton i have done my research and have gotten the best seats we could get(for all 3 boys), even though they cost a lot more than my limit,lol. Oh well, at least now i can buy different covers and change them out. :whistle:

Oh me too.

I have a regent, a signo, an uptown, and an EB 3 in 1. Oh and a bucket in the attic.

The 3 in 1 and the bucket are out of use right now, and the uptown is soon to be outgrown in our home.

Oh, I hear ya! I guess that's why I have a stash of covers to switch it up and make myself believe I bought a new seat.

LOL. I kind of did that this time around and limited myself to ordering a spare Regent cover. :D

That is sooo me! :D I have a couple of Britax MA covers I've never even used yet. I have sold most of mine. Now Karley is getting so wide in the shoulders I hate squishing her into the Britax seats and am actually considering the EFTA. :whistle:

yep, a support group for our DH's would be a good idea.....LOL

My DH thinks I"m nuts, I have to give him credit though...he never puts a dollar limit on the seats and lets me buy them every time I get the urge (usually whenever a new seat hits the market). I've already shown him the new compass tru fit coming to TRU and he's already given me to OK to buy that one. When I told him about the nautilus, he Ok'd that too whenever it gets here. What I'm really wanting and waiting for is the new Frontier... I just tell him we'll sell one of the one's we have to and replace it with a new one.

We currently have 2 marathons, a safeguard seat, a parkway, a compass B505, a radian and a regent and of course a few covers to swap the seats out every once in awhile.
