I refuse to include the seats have owned in the past because it's just too daunting, intimidated & even a bit embarrassing/shocking -- for various reasons: safety as well as $$$$$ Anyway, I was just updated my profile & realized Leila has 6 seats currently in posession + use!

1. Britax Husky = my 2005 Freestar
2. Cosco Apex = Daddy's 1997 Civic
3. Compass B510 = various friends' vehicles
4. Starriser Comfy = Grandma's 2005 Prius
5. Prospetc/Cubb = Grandpa's 2005 Highlander
6. Ride Safer Travel Vest = snow plow truck

I really think we could make due with just the Husky & Compass ... but I'm not willing to give up the Apex in the center of the Civic (since we're too far from civilization on the Rez to have a top tether anchor installed) nor am I willing to give up the RSTV because my dad is good with it proper use is sooooo important! But, maybe I'll try to sell off the SRC & Cubb

How many seats do you have right NOW? (in hopes you help me feel better about having so many seats for 1 kid)

1) Britax Husky in 1994 Mazda MPV
2) Britax Parkway just kinda hanging in the MPV lately
3) Compass B510 in 1993 Ford F150 single cab
4) Fisher Price Futura just hanging out, we use it in a pinch, when dd needs to ride with someone who only has lapbelts, but her shoulders are right at/slightly over the top slots depending on the vehicle

On the other side of the coin, we have only the Radian and 2 turbo's, for our 3 kids...but I certainly do long for more (car seats that is, not kids )

In our main vehicle:
Britax MA
Britax Regent
2 Britax Monarchs

Spare seats:
Britax Advantage
3 Graco Turbo boosters
Cosco Highback booster (blech!)

...and an expired Century Next Step that we use as our "movie booster seat"
(so that Annie doesn't run around the theatre)

5. Graco Cargo- DS 1 outgrew the harness, refuse to use as a booster
6. Evenflo Titan- Hate this seat, waiting to sell it.

Sorry, I can't make ya feel any better...
I have 6 seats in possession, 5 in use...5 kids hehe

The only *extra* we have is the SnugRide.


We have one vehicle, my kids don't ride with others..so, extra seats just aren't necessary.

With one kid and one on the way, I have:

2 Britax Roundabouts - one in DHs Tahoe
1 Britax Decathlon - in my car
1 Cosco Scenera - in my mom's car
1 Graco SafeSeat1 - for DD on the way

I am waiting to see the new Recaro seat, then I will replace the Roundabouts. I also just got a raincheck for a Marathon at Target. If they would have had the pattern I wanted, I would have got it today.

Whew, thanks for joining in Starlight -- I was starting to panic about my carseat obsessing perhaps being outta hand! Where's Julie ... I haven't got her beat yet, have I?

I'm doomed when the new Recaro comes out: Leila's even with the top slots on the Apex & if the Recaro will install in the Civic I'm all over it Well, that or the Radian since she does have a bit of height room in that too (I'm just not sure how she fits in it while installed in the Civic) -- I do need to get rid of the backless boosters, though, since none of us really like them I'm debating just donating them to our carseat giveaway program at the church: although I just talked the other ladies into not accepting donated used seats anymore, *my* seats are reliable at least

I'm still trying to figure out how I can pay off $10,000+ on my vehicle to sell it *SIGH* (might withdraw all of my retirement fund *GULP* but I've dodged bankruptcy for some months now & I'm not sure how much longer I can) so then the Husky can go in the Civic for me & maybe my SO will get a SafeGuard Childseat for whatever vehicle he ends up getting down the road Yesterday I was telling him about going on the radio & the cell phone was staticky -- he thought I was buying a new carseat & sorta freaked out

CRS--

I know I have seen and researched those seats before, but I am blanking on the name of the seat. What is that called??

Joyjoy has a Futura and a MA. The boys each have a Parkway. I have a pink Cosco Highrise for my neices, and two TBs that we use backless in MIL's Avalanche. One of them is on loan to a friend though.

In use: Britax Regent, Radian65, RF Blvd. and Marathon

Extras: another Regent which will be back in the rotation when DD1 outgrows the Radian's top slots, Britax Parkway, Graco Turbo lowback, Cosco Scenera 5-point, Graco Safe Seat 1, Graco Platinum CarGo. A Shannon Blvd. is on order to swap with our Marathon in DH's car once Baby Catalog fills back orders from the Britax sale this week, and then I plan to pass the Marathon on to a relative.

10 seats total at the moment for 2 kids, and I may have forgotten something.

1 Radian 65 - DD use in Olds Silhouette
1 MA - DS use in Olds Silhuoette
1 RA - S uses in Oldsmobile Silhouette
2 Summits -DS in DH Intrigue and one in SIL Van I hope as her seat was expired for my nephew
1 TB - DD spare in DH Intrigue
1 Compass - In box in the basement
1 Cosco Backless booster- P uses in Van

All the seats are mine except Backless booster, P's mom provided that. I have just 2 kids. Currently trying to come up with a good excuse to buy the new Recaro, maybe if they are worth it. Any one have some good ideas to tell my DH He wasn't really happy about the Radian.

I have no doubt the new Recar will be worth the $ (assuming as always that it fits the vehicle -- the Young Sport fit in at least 1/2 dozen vehicles that I tried!) ... what didn't he like about the Radian? Maybe start a new thread, though, so this doesn't get lost.
