Hi, my name is Julie.
I have an almost 8 yo DD, an 18 month DD and am currently pregnant.
When my oldest was a baby I used to be the biggest carseat freak (she has had at least 16 different carseats and of course RF to the limit of her MA), by the time our 18 month old was born, I was pretty comfortable with going with a Marathon since that is my favorite ever and decided to try a Radian too (which I absolutely hate with a passion, lol).
I live in Mexico and our carseat offer here is worse than pathetic. In the last couple of years a few upscale baby stores have started selling a few Britaxes and a couple more decent seats, but the prices are outrageous ($445 for a Marathon, $385 for a Coccoro).
So I am back to researching carseats, since I will most likely buy the carseat for the new baby in the US and will have no option to return it. And the main problem is that I will have to fit 3 accross.
I will come back at a later time with the current carseats that I have (all of them pink, so I hope this baby is another girl, lol), to see what suggestions you techs have for our cars.
Most kids here ride unrestrained so I am the freak that will never ride with a lap baby and my 7 yo, who was in a Regent until she was 6.5, is just now occasionally riding without a booster when she is not with DH or with me.
I look forward to learning a lot from this site.
