my kids are spending a week with Nana and Pop in the city, they are taking a trip out to Great grandmas in long island one day (Fiona is arriving Wed after Julianna has been there a few days so it should be Thurs)
I am sending Julianna with her turbobooster, but backless, since they are going to have to carry it on trains ect.. she will be 8 in a month. and she is a big hunk of kid, she has the genes from her dads dads side.. big italian woman.. she is 75th percentile all around..
But Fiona is 4.5 and built like my side petite, 41 inches 33 lbs. I am not comfortable with a high back booster for her even if they take the long island rail road and then get picked up by Great grandma, or an aunt, for 5 minutes, the parkway we have is for a 40 lber anyways.. she has a nautilus,but I hate to make my MIL and FIL carry a Nauti, or true fit or radian (those are the seats she could use) they are not in the best of health like they used to be.
I could pick up a scenera, maybe not that I need another seat, but she still can fit in one. I obviously would teach FIL how to install it when he is here Sat.. he knows how to buckle the seat up properly. I am sure he would install it properly if I taught him how.
What would you do in this case, Julianna is easy, but Fiona has me stumped. (I also do not have a lot to spend on seats)
