what would you get, and for which child

DD is seven months old and 16 lbs, DS is 2 1/2 and 25 lbs. Both have short torsos, though I don't have current numbers right now. They're not big kiddos. I'll be handing down DD's baby bucket to my sister in a few months. I have two TF's and a MA currently, aside from the bucket. I need a seat for a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both the MA and TF install like a breeze in it. I originally bought the MA for DH's jeep, because it's got a Mossy Oak cover. But I just got a seconds Hannah MA cover thinking DS wouldn't be in the Jeep for a while. But to make a long story short, he will be. So, I need a new seat. It can be for either child. This may sound silly, but I like cute covers. DH doesn't want the hassel of install issues with radians, and the ones in my budget don't have cute covers either way. We'd like to keep it around $150, but anything under $200 is a contender. I like the looks of the CA's, but don't really need it to RF to 40 lbs. DH is on board with ERF, but by the time DS is 45 lbs, he'll probably be driving, lol. But really, I firmly believe that 35 lbs will get him to an age I'm comfortable FF him. I thought of finding the cheapest MA I could find, regardless of cover and put the Hannah cover on it, but I don't know. I could probably justify a CA, too. So what would you get?

Another Marathon or if you like your TF, another one of those. I'm sure you'll be able to find a Marathon for cheap since they have the new ones coming out.

Another Marathon, and have MA's in one car, TF's in another. They both have tall enough shells to get your peanuts to safe FFing ages, and both have built-in lock offs. Find a cute MA ;-)

I'd get the new Kathryn RA50 from Target. $159, super cute, you can use your Hannah cover on it as well :)
