Children: DS 8/3/2007, Due 8/5/2011
Car Seats:
Graco Safeseat DOM 2006 w/2 bases
Marathon DOM May 2008 (have extra cover)
Roundabout50 DOM 2009
Maestro DOM 2010 (Not selling)
I intend to use the Graco Safeseat with the new baby. When it expires Dec 2012, the baby should be plenty ready to be placed into a convertible.
The Marathon expires May 2014. The Roundabout50 in 2015 (I forget the month. Sorry)
So to some extent it makes sense to sell the Marathon and keep the Roundabout50 -- it will certainly keep the second child through to the time they need to move FF. With the Marathon expiring May 2014, when child will be only 2y 9m... it'd force a move to FF at that point. But I like having the spare cover for the Marathon -- would a denim Marathon cover fit the Roundabout50?
DS could use either the Marathon or the Roundabout50 as his second seat.
Or I could get rid of both Marathon and Roundabout50, buy a Graco Nautilus for DS's second seat and plan to buy a new convertible when baby needs it.
With 4 years between the kids, we'll have the same problem with the FF seats too. Having to sit a while between when DS does not need them anymore and when next child can use them.
