I have a Roundabout from 06 (if I remember correctly), a MA from 05 and an EFTA from late 07 and a SR22. The newest one is thus the EFTA. I doubt dh will ever drive with the two DDs in his car, so we only need one seat for his car, if any and he has the MA in his right now. I have the Roundabout and the SR in my Matrix. I really do like the EFTA, but it is very bulky and I cannot have that in my car if I want to make room for one more adult in the back seat.
My parents live in Sweden and I have one car seat in Sweden. I will have to bring one more when I go this summer and I have been thinking about leaving one seat there. The seat I planned on bringing was the EFTA due to its bulkiness (my parents have a Volvo S60) but also its lifespan. DD2 will go in the Swedish seat from 06 and by the time we need to get rid of that one I am planning on putting DD1, who is now 3.5, in a booster for the few weeks that we are there.
I know DD2 will have to move out of her SR sometime "soon". I know the MA will be out of the picture in about 1,5 years and the Roundabout might have another year (2,5 years). DD1 will soon, well maybe, have outgrown the Roundabout.
I want more room in my car, so I' thinking about getting a RN for DD1. She is skinny and not very tall. By the time the Roundabout has to go (in 2-2,5 years), DD1 might be ready for a booster (harnessed) so DD2 could inherit the RN. Otherwise we would have to buy a new seat for DD2.
So, if I buy a Radian I will have a seat that will last us a long time here and two seats with my parents. I would also have a seat that works well with the RN. If I don't buy a new seat for DD1 now, we'll get by for at least another year.
Is it dum to leave the EFTA in Sweden? By leaving it there I would not have to bring a seat every time I go over there, but I am loosing a seat here. But it is very hard to use the EFTA when I need to put 2 kids and 3 adults in the car...
Does the above make any sense? Input please
