I am having a new baby in august. I hate bucket seats and drive an 05 suburban with captains chairs and a bench seat in the third row. This will be my 5th child and every seat will be filled. Baby will go on one of the captains chairs. Two kids are not in seats. Dd#3 will be 5 next Tuesday. She rides in a gn usually in the back row outboard. She has moved to the top slots of that seat. She rides very nicely in a booster but falls asleep often and I would like to keep her harnessed. In the MA she is at the top slots and is just below the top slots of the TF. Moving to a radian might be an option for her if I can get one installed in that spot.
DS is two and weighs 30lbs. He rides rfing in the EFTA or ffing in the MA. He loves the MA and I prefer that install. He is normally in the captains chair.
Baby will go middle of the third row or on the captains chair. The master plan will be for baby to go into a roundabout. It is my favorite seat ever. I like the look of the coccorro I am tempted to get one of those for the first little bit but it seems silly when I like the ra so much. I have a EFTA and a tf that I could use for the first few months. I thought about getting a radian. I could put dd in that for awhile put ds into the ma in the back seat. What seat would you get in my position?

I'd probably use the TF with the insert for the first bit... it fits newborns really nicely when the insert is used.

I'd use the EFTA. It fits newborns and lasts longer than the RA. That way you don't need to buy anything for a while. How old is the RA?

am getting a new RA as my old one is a 2005 and I let a friend borrow that seat and from the looks of things will not be getting it back.

I LOVED my RA. I mean really loved it a lot. I wouldn't buy a new one, though, now that I have a Coccoro. It fits newborns really well, and the shell is actually taller than the RA.

If you want to get your money's worth, I'd get a TF. We brought dd home in ds's TF. It fit well and would last a long time.

She wasn't fully tightened yet because I wanted to get a pic before she woke up... I felt like it fit her better than her sr. :eek:
