Hi, we are from South Africa. I need some advise.
I have 2 boys one aged 8 months(7.5kgs - 16.5pounds) and 26 months(11.5kgs - 25.3pounds)
Currently my baby is still in the rear facing carry along carseat(Chelino)
I currently have my older one in the Maxi cosi priori XP
My question is:
The baby will be growing out of this seat soon. he is very tall and his feet is againts the back of the seat. His weight and size is still fine but his legs are long.
Older child is still fine in his carseat, he is a very small 26 month old.
My dilemma, I do not want to get another Maxi cosi priori(for baby) as it will probably last less than a year and then I need to get the older one a booster seat. So much money to give out.
We found this seat for the older boy -
It is for 9-36kgs and I put Daniel into it and he fits very well...
But a cheaper version and one that he can sit in for longer...

What I do not like about the Graco is that Daniel would be using the carseat to attach him and carseat to car...whereas with the Ferrari he would still be able to use the straps of the carseat, and the seat is seperately attached to the car, until he is older.
I do like the rearfacing seats for older kids, we have the RECARRO brand here in SA...but I will have to save a year to be able to afford this.
What is the best...I am just not sure...I want the best for my kids and the safest..thank you!
