So, I have a WWYD.
Here is my situation. My DD is 21 months old, 27 pounds, and currently rides RF in a Britax Decathlon and FF in a Britax Roundabout. Initially, after her bucket seat, we got two Roundabouts (Thanks to Consumer Reports ). She outgrew the Roundabout RF, due to height around 18 months. At that time, I got the Decathlon. So, in my car (07 Toyota Sienna) she is still rear-facing. In my DH's car (07 Chevy Tahoe), she is forward-facing. She was rear-facing until she 18 months, when we had to turn her around. I know that she should still be RF in his car, but there are other factors involved there, and I think she will stay FF, no matter what seat we get. She is only in his car a couple of times a week/month.
So, I have two Roundabouts, one that we rarely use and one that we don't use at all. I am currently expecting DD #2, due April, and she will be the SafeSeat for at least a year, so we won't really need the Roundabouts until she outgrows that, so at the earliest April 08.
Should I sell one or both of the Roundabouts? I would get DD a higher weight seat for DH's car, and then wait till DD#2 is out of the SafeSeat to get her higher weight seats. Or do I keep them and use for DD#2, in hopes that she lasts longer RFing in them then DD#1? The Roundabouts DOM are 6/05 and 10/05.
Another thing to consider - we have a small private plane (Cessna 182) where the other Roundabout was, but being 8 months pregnant, I don't think that we will be flying any time soon. I could just keep the Roundabouts for the plane.
TIA,
Katie
