Hello. I haven't frequented this board since I was researching carseats 3 1/2 years ago for my oldest daughter. I decided to buy the Recaro Signo and really like the seat in itself, but did have to turn her ff before the seat's weight limit because of not enough room for her legs and not being able to lift her into it because of the tall sides. So now we have a new little girl and am trying to figure out what I want to do about getting a new carseat.
From what I've been researching, it appears that getting a second Recaro is not the way to go. I've seen that the most recommended are the Truefit/TFP, My Ride, and Complete Air in order to get her closest to booster specs. I'm prepared to purchase another Recaro if that is the best fit for our familly, so anything under that price is sufficient.
DD1 is 3 1/2 yo, about 30lbs, and about 3ft tall. She still fits in the Signo well, ffing. The butt side padding is still there too with plenty of room. She's kind of on the small side of weight and height.
DD2 is 6weeks old but already at almost 12 lbs and probably only about 22-23inches. She is currently in an infant bucket, but probably want to switch her into a convertible in a few months.
I'm thinking it would be best to use the Signo for DD2 and get DD1 a new seat that will last her until booster and then dd2 will use it. Now the million dollar question is...which one?
Currently we have a 2001 Ford Escape, but should be getting a van sometime in the next year. We don't have to switch the carseats from car to car very often, so the fact that the Signo is a beast isn't a huge issue. I have DD1 on the outboard passenger side and the baby outboard driver side because I didn't think I could use latch system with 2 latches on the same spot on the frame of the car. But now that I've seen 3 across in some situations, I'm assuming you can click 2 carseats into the same latch point?
Thank you for your input.
