Help me choose between 2 options

These are the 2 options for after baby outgrows the infant seat, please help me choose 1:

Option 1: Get a radian as the main/everyday seat and an Avenue for travel (I find the radian way too heavy for travel);

Option 2 Get the CCO and use it as a main seat and as a travel seat. When baby outgrows CCO RF, get the radian and keep CCO as back up/travel seat or potentially for next baby.

Option 1 probably makes more financial sense, but option 2 might make my life easier b/c the CCO would take less room front to back which is nice, plus would be nicer to travel with than the Avenue (no pool noodles needed, built-in lock offs instead of locking clip...etc). Also, I might be able to get a good deal on the radian if I can wait until new models come out next year.

What do you think?
Thanks!

I would go with option 1 since it sounds like the coccoro doesn't last long rear facing. You might not get much use after a baby outgrows and infant seat. I wouldn't want to put a young toddler foward facing for travel. You can use diapers.com to price match and get 10% off if you are a first time customer so you might be able to find a good deal without waiting a long time.

What infant seat is baby outgrowing? How long would you like this seat to last? If you are ok with buying another seat in about a year, then a coccoro may be a good use, especially since you are planning for more littles in the future. If you want this seat to last until baby if ready for a booster, I'd probably go on and get the radian and an avenue.

Some infant seats will last almost as long as the Coccoro, though some significantly less time. It would be helpful to know what infant seat, and whether the child is small or tall for her age, and whether torso is long or short for her size, etc.
