Britax Decathlon WITH ROOM TO SPARE!!!!! We have my boys' sisters visiting this weekend and the SW had commented about how horrible they were in the boosters in regards to the shoulder belt. So I decided to see if they'd fit in the harnessed seats rather than fight them w/the seat belt.

The 6yr old fits BEAUTIFULLY in the DC with a solid 1" of torso height left...and the 7yr old is in the Radian XT. Doing this meant the boys had to go FF for the weekend as my hubby was gone this morning when we headed out to run errands (he has our other DC/MA in his car). So I had to work with what I had at home. The boys are riding in a CarGo and a Roundabout.

FWIW, the girls ride in NOTHING w/mom. Probably not even seat belts from the way they are in the car. :( They question using boosters and car seats. I just tell them they are safer and they don't usually say much else about it.

The 6yr old was so comfy in the DC she was sound asleep in about 5min!
