Long story short, we have an Evenflo Embrace bucket seat with one base. Since there are a multitude of reasons why my car (1990 2-door Honda Civic) won't be used to transport our child(ren) except in case of an emergency (ie, the other car gets in a crash or it breaks down or my house is on fire when that car isn't here), our primary install will be in DH's car ('94 Pontiac Grand Am). The plan is that DH will take my car to work most days unless the weather is bad, but I know he'd still prefer to take his since a) he's more used to it and b) it's an automatic transmission so easier to drive (he hasn't driven a manual in over 10 yrs - that's what mine is).
The last few days I've been thinking that perhaps we should at least try to install the seat in my car just in case it's needed. I was sure that we could do this without the base but we've just re-read the instructions and nope, it needs the base. So I'm looking for opinions: should we get a second base for 'emergency' use (or the very rare potential day when I unexpectedly decide I need to go out or take the baby in someone else's car)? I'm not against doing this, but it costs $50 (unless it's safe and possible to get a used one?) and I'd rather not spend $50 on something I'm never going to use.
WWYD?
Thanks in advance,
Melissa
