I can't decide if I want to pay extra for an infant seat or if I should skip it and go straight for a coccoro. Eventually, I'll probably need a coccoro for this little one because we have a RFing issue in the Tribeca (RFing seats can't touch the seats in front) and the Radians we have are too long. I make small kids, so she'd likely get to 3 RFing in it. If not, I can put her in the scenera for a few months if needed, but I don't want the scenera to be her primary seat.
SO I can't decide. Please help me! The only infant seat that will fit WELL in my car (and likely DD will be small, so I'm afraid of getting a snugride for her) is a keyfit. With my Swagbucks Amazon gift cards I've been saving, I'll probably be able to get it for about $100, and she'd likely fit in it for a year. (Not that I plan to cart her around in it that long) UNLESS she's like her big sister and hates the infant seat, in that case, we'd stop using it in 5-6 months.
My friend was going to trade me her keyfit for my Marathon (it has a couple years left before it expires) but her little one is only 10 weeks old and MAYBE 10 pounds, and I'd need this seat IN my car in about 4-6 weeks. I'd hate to take it from her if she's still finding it useful.
So help me! I have 2 other kids, both riding FF in Radians. DS is 6 and can buckle himself in, and is helpful buckling his 4 YO sister in as well. He's probably got another year before he outgrows the Radian (and I may try it RFing when I'm NOT pregnant and see if I can get it center), which is another reason I need the coccoro- to allow a booster to be buckled next to it.
I'm rambling now, but I really could use some insight. I am due in May- so no "winter baby" issues. We travel a LOT, and I do find the bucket to be useful for the first few months...
