Which seat/seats to sell?

DH wants me to sell at least one of my carseats. I have 4, and only 2 kids. Here's what I have right now...

Radian 65 - 30/65 about 5 years left
EFTA - 30/47 just less than 5 years left
Radian XTSL - 45/65, not sure how much time left, at least 7 years I'm sure
MyRide 65 - 40/65, probably about 5 years left

DD1 is 28ish lbs, DD2 is 25ish lbs. DD1 will be rear-facing for at least another year. I really like all my seats, and it's making it hard to decide. The RN65 was my first convertible (for my own kid anyway), so I've always loved that seat. The EFTA I didn't like for a while, because the buckle angled back so sharply and dug into my LO's tummy. It fits much better now though. I also really like it for forward-facing. The XTSL, well I just bought that one, can't sell it yet, lol. Plus I need to have two seats that rear-face to at least 40 lbs. And the MyRide, well, Kezi will need that once she hits 30 lbs, plus I would love to use it with a newbie someday:)

One thought I had last night was to sell the old Radian and the EFTA, and then buy a new seat :whistle: I was thinking about an EFTA65 if they in fact come to Canada with the same limits. Then all my seats would work for rear-facing for both my kids. I'd also love to try a Complete Air sometime, but I'm not sure. I really do not like the continuous harness.

So, can someone please help me decide?

I would sell one of the 30# Rfing seats.:twocents: Most likely the EFTA since it has the lowest FF weight as well--especially since you love your Radian. I regretted giving away DD1's first car seat (Titan) b/c it had sentimental value but I didn't need it at the time and gave it to someone who did--so that makes me feel better.

Only 4 seats for 2 kids and DH wants out to sell? That is crazy!

I know, why doesn't he understand?! LOL

So I almost had it figured out. I need to be able to do a 3 across cause I babysit my nephew every other week or so (and in fall I might have to drive him to school). I didn't think the EFTA would work in a 3-across, I had tried some previously. But I tried it again today, and it did work! But it just made my decision even harder. I asked my SIL if she was interested in buying one of my seats. If she is, I'll let her pick between the three (I will not sell the XTSL). If not I might just list all three online and see which one (or two) sells.
