He's 30lbs! Add fall/winter clothes, shoes and jacket and he'll be getting pretty close to the 35lb limit of his seats. My bare minimum for turning my own kiddos FF is age 3 (he just turned 2 last month). I wish I knew how long it would take him to gain 2-3 more pounds. We've been weighing him on the Wii, and it seems like every time I do it, he's gained a pound! We weigh him once or twice a month. So, if he continues at his current pace, he could likely gain that before winter even hits. Yikes! Should I wait it out, or start checking out the options? WWYD? DH said I can not buy a new seat unless I sell a seat (or two). I just gave away my SS1 to a friend and didn't charge her for it.
I'm thinking about getting a Radian (possibly a used one from a friend), which installs beautifully RF in my van but not as easily in DH's Civic. The Momentum 65 installs great in both vehicles, but has a shorter shell. I don't really like the MyRide, also don't care for the Complete Air (bought and returned on the day it was released last year).
It's funny how different my kids are. They are about 10" different in height, but approximately the same weight. DD fluctuates between 27-31lbs (usually around 29lbs), and now DS outweighs her. DD was 27lbs yesterday, but it was a different scale, so I suppose there's room for error.
Not really sure what the point of this is... I guess I was just shocked when I realized how steadily and quickly DS is gaining weight! I really did not want to buy a new seat. (Okay let me clarify... of course I want to, but it's just not in our budget right now). Any thoughts? Should I wait it out or scrimp and save to get a new seat ASAP?
