Ok, so .... just thinking about the "next step"... and seriously considering a Swedish seat for DS after reading recent posts about that crash......
DS just turned 3 today (is it crazy to import a seat to rearface a kid after 3???)
He weighs 34 lbs, and is about 38.5" tall (VERY rough estimate, I'm having a hard time getting him to hold still to get a measurement, he has a check-up on the 8th and we'll know a more exact height then.) Seated shoulder (torso) height about 16 - 16.5". (again, rough estimate).
(Yes, he has a long torso, he's just getting into 3t pants (mostly too big yet) but wears 4t/5 shirts).
This is him today in his Radian:
I'm thinking he might get to spring rf'ing...? Def. not til 4
From those that have a swedish seat, or experience with them, I'm wondering how long you think he'd last rearfacing in a Britax Two-Way Elite? And would it be the same, more, less, in another Swedish seat? Graco Duologic, etc?
How much extra time would the Multi-tech buy over these?
(I don't think I'll sell DH on that one at all...been gently trying to convince him for almost a year that we should just get one...but, for reference, that seat would cost more than our mortgage; almost double what we pay for groceries every month....it's a lot of money...) But then, the MT does have better headwings than the TWE too... looks like better SIP. Right now DS is an only, so he can ride in the center....but it's hard to get most carseats installed in the center of my car, it has a 60/40 split and the carseat always wants to tip into the gap....?
