Its been a long time since I've been around and I have some questions! Here's the breakdown. My daughter is 3 yrs 4 months and she's tiny. She's approx 24 lbs, 34 1/2 inches tall and has a torso of 11 1/2 inches (from bottom to shoulders). She's in the following seats in the following cars:
Starting next month MIL in the CRV is going to picking her up from preschool. The CRV has no latches, tethers, or side airbags. It also has ditzy, arthiritic MIL driving it. She also picks my son up from school and once forgot to buckle his bottom buckle! Fortunately he's now 7 and can buckle himself and probably his sister if I asked him to. In her defense she's never been in an accident or gotten a ticket and I've had a few of each. I thought I'd put the Wizard in the CRV because a) its not being currently used and b) it has the headwings and the CRV has no side airbags whereas the other cars do. However, it expires in either July (says the cover and the straps) or Sept (says the seat).
So my questions are:
Thanks for your help! I'm starting to obsess....
- Britax Boulevard (RF) in a 08 Dodge Grand Caravan
- Britax Marathon (RF) in an 08 Saturn Aura
- Britax Wizard (RF) in an 97 (?) Honda CRV

However, it expires in either July (says the cover and the straps) or Sept (says the seat).
So my questions are:
- Should I put the Wizard in the CRV or one of other seats?
- Should I keep DD RF in the CRV even thought it might be harder for MIL and thus run the risk of improper use?
- When does the Wizard expire? The straps and the seats have a manufacture date of July 2004 and the Seat has a manufacture date of Sept 2004.
- What should I get to replace the Wizard and should I put that seat in the CRV or one of the other seats?
- The Marathon in the Aura will expire in November so I guess I should be thinking about that too.
Thanks for your help! I'm starting to obsess....
