I think I need another car seat

well, I think I need another Radian, but don't have the extra $$$ to buy one at the moment.

Right now, I have 2 vehicles, one is a huge suburban and the other, a vintage:p1990 ford tempo. I drive the tempo most days, it's so much more economical than the suburban.

3 people need to sit in the back seat, and so far it's been working fine, I have K RF behind the passenger seat in his TF, C FF in the center in his RN, and my 105lb 10 year old sits behind the driver.

When I turned the TF ff yesterday (for yesterday only), it would not go right beside the RN. It was the upper part of the TF that would not allow for it to fit up against the RN. Sure, my 10 year old *could* sit in the front of the car, there are no airbags, but I like him in the back. Way safer in my opinion.

Plan is to keep K RF as long as possible, he still has another 4-5 lbs to go before he hits 35lbs.

I *could* go buy a cheaper seat to allow for them both to be FF when the time comes, but what?

No airbags? Put the RFer in the front for now and save up for another Radian.

Really? I just don't feel it's safe enough (even though statistically it probably is) having my 2 year old in the front seat with me.


I'll keep my eyes open for a great radian sale.
Hopefully there is one soon!

www.juniorbaby.com has the Radians on for 249.00 for the premier and 279.00 for the XT. If you sold your TF (you could probably fetch 100.00 for it) that's only the cost of a new TF :)
