so like in my case if you were me, and starting with a blank slate.. no seats.. what would you get

Car..2011 Kia Sorrento, and 2003 passat..

Kids 8 years 58 lbs.. geezzz I forget her height but she is even lol.. 75th and 75th height and weight..

5 34 lbs, 42.5 inches tall... last time I measured her torso it was 14 inches but she had a growth spurt since then and is on the top slots nautilus and radian.

and 2 years 5 months 25 lbs, maybe 12 inch torso?? (both kids had recent torso growth spurts,, the younger ones are built smaller and my oldest got her genes from DH's side.. with the taller larger boned women.. she is thin but she has a bigger bone structure.

so what are your kids stats and what cars.. lets play a game lol

I have a 2 year old that is 35 pounds(I think) and 35 inches (maybe a little taller last measured a week ago but I think he might of gown) and I have a
'01 odyssey and I like him the second row drivers side. My seat is almost all the way up also.

I would probably put the 8yr. old in a PB
5yr.old in a FN85
2yr.old in a CA

I am not that smart and that is why I buy a ton of carseats.

We have a 1999 Dodge Caravan(Bench Seats)
2000 Ford Taurus

I am only going to list the one's in seats since I have 5 kids.

5.5yr.old, 44lbs, 44in. 16.5in. torso
3yr.old, 32lbs, 37in. 13in. torso
1yr.old, 18lbs, 28in. 11in. torso(maybe)

Babywearing Meghan:
DD1-According to your stats on her I'm gonna say she's about 52 inches, I think I would reluctantly get a NBB.
DD2-FR85
DS1-MyRide or CA

Buying a FR85 for a booster is too much. Unless you get two FR85 and a MyRide, maybe DD1 could fit the booster until DS1 is ready to FF, then you would have FR85s for DD2 and DS1.

emthecountrycat:
A CA.


DD is 7.7yrs, 60lbs, 49 1/2 inches, 18 inch torso riding in a 2000 Windstar.

lol I buy too many car seats too, I have a problem there but that is another thread.
I actually never have tried a pb but always wanted to.. they look nice, she is in a frontier 80 in booster mode though.. The frontier 85 is overkill for Fiona so she is in a radian xtsl, and a GN..
And As much as the Complete air makes sense, I HATE those head wings, with the breast implants.. I can't make myself like the seat no matter what.. he has a true fit that we are using right now.. and an avenue.

If I were you I would do a hmmm frontier 85 for the 5.5 year old
a sunshine kids radian for the 3 year old or a complete air lol
and the 1 year old I would do a true fit for since he has a long torso for his age imo
