So I've done a fair bit of research and I am pretty sure I have come up with a plan for all 3 kids' seats - Opinions and advice please ! : ) I am planning to overhaul our seats. I am not happy with the ones I have, they were all given as gifts (except the infant seat) without really checking what size the kids were....We have a 2005 Odyssey.

DS#1 - 5 (almost 6) years old, 49 lbs, 50" - I want to get him a Monteray. He is all about comfort and it looks roomy and comfy and I like the price! He sits in the back bench, driver's side.

DS#2 - 4 years old, 38 lbs, 41" - Graco Nautilus - He's much smaller than his brother and I expect he'll be harnessed for some time to come. He has no interest in booster and I really don't think he be mature enough for one anyway. He sits in driver's side 2nd row captains chair.

DD - 7 months, 17 lbs, 27" - True Fit - She'll be rear facing for a long time still - she's tall but petite. Great price too! She's in passenger side captain's chair.

Any thoughts?? Is there a good, less expensive optionfor DS#2?
Thanks!!

I like your plan.

For DS2, another option would be the Apex65. It does require support from the vehicle at least to the level of the top of the child's ears, about 36" in its top position. Think about not only your vehicle, but any other vehicle he might ever ride in.
