so we are going tomorrow to get the 4 seats that insurance is paying for.
we have twin 9 month olds (18 and 20 lbs) a 3 year old (25-30 lbs not sure exactly - pretty small) and a 4 1/2 year old (between 40-45 lbs VERY long torsoed). the smaller twin has very low tone and a cranial band/helmet. we have an 04 montana van (that may or may not be totalled - if it is we have no idea what we will get - van or suv) and we currently have the babies in the middle captains chairs with latch and the big kids in the third row ff and tethered in comos.
so i'm thinking the myride for the 3 year old. she could rear-face in it. she loves the seat (very comfy, cup holders, pretty). she is so small i think she'd be fine in it for years.
for the 4 year old we have a como new in box that he can go into. he still has a couple inches in it. i want to buy a good booster for when he outgrows that. we're planning to try him in the vivo, monterey, and parkway sg and see what he fits best in and where the belt lies on him. does this seem like a good choice? i have a young sport made in 2006 that we could use as a booster, so i might be better off buying another convertible?
for the babies...right now we have cassius in a snugride without the base and one in an old school triumph. we love the snugride because we can put it in the stroller and have one baby facing us (we switch out which baby is in it in the stroller), it's very reclined which cassius likes (he gets fussy in the triumph) and we flop it foward to fold down the seat to buckle up the big kids. so i'm thinking about getting a safeseat/snugride 32/35 to replace the snugride. also that way we would still have an infant seat if/when we need it again (HA!). our old one had certainly made it around the family so i'm sure this would be well used.
i have NO IDEA what to get for fox. i like the myride and that would last him a good long while. i wonder if it would be better to get a radian xt though in case we need a 3 across solution. or it might be better to get a seat with a more easily adjustable harness height like the symphony or blvd? or just get another myride?
we tried the complete air's and cassius doesn't fit well in them with his helmet and i really am not fan.
so my questions are:
should i get a booster ahead of time or just get another convertible?
do the myrides puzzle well with the radians? does it puzzle well with a regent (in case i end up needing one of those for jet before he is booster ready)?
is there any reason i would rather buy the radian 65 or 80 over the radian xt? or is the xt just all around better?
is there any reason i need a coccoro? cause omg i love that seat.
