Hello!
My twins are only 3 months old right now and still in infant car seats that go up to 20lbs. One of my twins is at the very high end of the weight and height charts - so I will definitely need to get new car seats before they turn 1. I need to get 4 car seats b/c I need 2 in my car and my husband needs 2 in his car - so we are on a budget. My question is what are the best car seats to get in our situation? I drive a Mitsubishi Endeavor and my husband has Mazda 6, so his car is pretty small and he has to have a car seat behind the drivers seat. I know the Cosco Scenera is the cheapest, but since one of my twins is on the larger side, I'm afraid he'll outgrow it too fast. I only want to have to buy 1 more stage of car seats before moving to boosters. Another question - A lot of convertible car seats only go up to 40 lbs. Will that weight limit be high enough for a larger child to get old enough to go straight to a booster. When is it ok to move a kid to a booster? Is it age or weight determined? Thanks!!!
