Question 3rd seat for '07 Santa Fe

U

Unregistered

Guest
I have a 2.5 year old son (34 lbs, 37 in) in a Britax Roundabout and a 7 month old daughter (16 lbs, 27 in) in a Chicco KeyFit 30. I drive a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Let me state, I am a planner. I am anticipating two things happening and need advise.

-My daughter will be growing out of her seat in a few months.
-I hope to get pregnant with a third child within the year.

What seat should I purchase to avoid what seems like the inevitable minivan purchase? Will I need two more narrow seats to fit with an infant carrier in the back seat?

Which Roundabout do you have? The orgininal one goes to 40 lbs, then there is the Roundabout 50, that goes to 50 lbs and is a bit taller. The Roundabout 55 is the newest one that just came out.

That might sway suggestions as to when your DS might outgrow it and how long your DD might be able to use it rear facing if it were passed down (it is much safer for her to stay rear facing until she is at least 2, if not longer).

ETA: I did a bit of searching and it seems in order to do a 3 across, you'd eventually need 2 Radians, especially since you would have 2 rear facing at the same time . . . hopefully some others that have dealt with this will chime in . . .

Do you mean the 40 pound Roundabout? Push button adjuster, no HUGS on the straps?
