We are expecting our second child in early May
We have a 2001 Corolla and unless we get an un expected windfall my DH will be driving this car for a few more years.
DD (3/1/2, will be 4 when #2 arrives) is in a Britax Frontier and will stay in the Frontier. Prior to her Frontier she was in an Evenflo Triumph 5 (this seat will expire when #2 is 2 yrs., and 4 mos.). We know we can get plenty of use out of the T5, but I am not sure I'll want to move #2 to the Frontier at less than 3 yrs, esp. if it's a girl and skinny like DD so we are thinking we might need to get something else instead. So we are most likely going to get a replacement and would love to know what our best options are. We tried the Marathon with DD and because DH is 6'0" and we need the seat all the back (and I ride in the car a fair amount on the weekends and am 5'6") it didn't work rear facing.
We have a Graco Snugride 22 that we used with DD (back adjust cheapo model---it was a gift I didn't have the heart to return, but really wish I would have) that we may still use or we might replace the seat with a Chicco Key Fit 30, Snugride 32, or Teutonia T-Tario 32 in hopes to keep #2 in an infant seat until at least a year.
So just curious what everyone has as far as infant, and convertable seats in their compact cars. I know that some of the larger seats will fit in current models like the Civic, and Corolla, but we still might have a hard time with our model as the backseat is smaller.
