It's a car seat palooza (part 2)!

For those of you who missed part 1 here ya go: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=146430&highlight=It's+car+seat+palooza!

It's been two months since our last car seat party and we've got some different seats so I thought it was time to party again.

The seats we have are a My Ride, Roundabout 55, old style Marathon, Comfort Sport, and a Coccoro.





Gavin is 20 months old and now weighs 27lbs is 35" and has a 13" torso.



First up is the CCO. I believe Gavin has outgrown this seat by height RF'ing. I think he could FF in it for another month or two though (just to add he will not be FF'ing in this or any other seat yet just saying for reference).








Next up is the CS. Gavin has outgrown this seat both RF'ing and FF'ing. Yup, he didn't even make it to 2yo in this seat.





It's hard to tell where the top of the shell is because of the big fluffy pillow attached to this seat so I used a straw to show the top of the seat in relation to his head.





Next up is the old style/classic MA. A bit more growing room than the RA55. Head wings are not nearly as deep as the RA55's and two more harness slots to go compared to one on the RA55. (We took pics in the orange cover and then I changed it up to the All-star cover before I took the group shot. Then I realize I hadn't got a full body side shot so back in it he went.)









Here he is in the RA55. Not as much room to grow as the MA and if he were a FF'er he'd need to be moved to the top slots.









And last but not least is the MR. Super comfy seat and as always cup holders are a big hit especially for holding match box cars. About as much grow room as the MA but has more leg room.








I hope you enjoyed our party!

Here are a few pics of him in the CCO installed in my Suburban. He was pretty much done partying by this point. LOL.

great pics! And he's such a cutie!

cute! Austin had outgrown the cco by 20 months too, now he just looks ridiculous in it. He doesn't ride it in, just playing around inside.

He looks ALOT like Austin in the first picture of the CCO installed. WOW!

And - I sadly think that my DS#2 (18 mos) has less growing room than Gavin does in the My Ride. In my case - it isn't as much a torso issue as it is his huge head. I think his head is closer to the contrast piping color on the My Ride.

I will take pictures next time I think of it!

That was fun, thanks! It's always fun to see Gavin even without his car seats! I wish would have gotten a CCO for Matthew. Too late now.

Goodness, that little guy melts my heart.

Know what I just thought of for my car that we didn't try... the MR FF center.

Yeah, I wonder if that would have worked. The armrest of the TB would probably fit right under, but then would you be able to get your hand in there to buckle? When are you leaving? I could bring it by again or I can try and simulate your tiny little back seat with my big old Suburban and let you know what I think.

Wow. 2 peanuts and then Gavin. I wonder how long a&t would have fit in the CCO when younger. Thanks for the pics!

A&T would have probably fit in it well forever. Neither one of them hit 30lbs till after they were 3yo and they both had super short torsos. Taylor did finally grow a torso but Austin's is still pretty short. Both T&A were 36lbs and 42" when they started kindergarten.
