Yeah, you've all heard me blabbing on and on about what to do here hehehe Hubby's heard me too, drives him bonkers LOL
My 4 yr old was nearing end of use in the RA. He's within a couple pounds of the weight limit and his ears are coming up to the top of the shell. It was time to do something.
Well, like I've said, you all are familiar with my 'dilemma', which way to go, what to do ???
We ended up getting a Parkway for my 6.5 yr old. The PK and BG are in the back row flanking the MA (the seat we originally got for that kid, now 4, a year or two ago hehe)
Yeah, the 6.5 yr old could still fit in a MA, but, that meant 3 convertibles would go to the rear, the baby and eldest in BG would be in second row. We were having problems with eldest foot/feet falling asleep. He has had some issues with this in the past, not car seat related. But this was related to the seat, his feet dangled just a mere inch or two above the floor in that 2nd row, it would cause his foot to fall asleep. So I figured it'd be nice to get him back to the rear row where he could touch. But in order to do that, we would have to have a booster for the other child, provided that they both fit w/a MA in the center. So that's what we tried and it worked so, saved us $100+ for the moment.
We still have a couple of years (at least) on our RA and FPSE, so we're good to go for a while now.
I waffled on this decision SO much!! Ack! LOL But, now it's done, and I'm ok with it. Had to do what works/fits right?

I wouldn't have any heartburn with a 6.5 yo in a Parkway :)...sounds good to me :)... Did you ever try a footstool for your eldest to rest his feet on? my kids can't live without their little footstools in boosters, and i'm not worried a light plastic booster on the floor is a major projectile danger.

Yeah..6.5 in a PK, not a bad thing...just nevermind he is just 40# hehe
I thought about the footstool for my eldest. But then we got the seat the new next day LOL
Cover..hmm I don't even know what it is. Just whatever BRU had, black 'fuzzy' on the outsides and black/gray 'slicky' on the insides I think that's how my son describes it LOL
