My 7 mos old (AND my 16 mos old) are right about at the height limit on the KF and snugride22 so it's time to do some switching around. I have a spare MR I was figuring on using but it looks like I'll be giving that to a lady at church, which means I can get whichever seat will really fit our need (not sure what that is!) but I have not been keeping up with all the new seats in the past 12 or 18 months and don't know what's out there now. I could use a convertible or possibly a FF harnessed seat.
Currently:
4.5 yo 41 lbs RNXTSL--FF top slots
2.75 yo 35 lbs RNXT RF (too tall for BLVD/MR RF)
16 mos 20+ lbs BLVD
7.5 mos 16.5 lbs KF30 (29" at 6 months!)
**YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE REST***but if you want to work on the shuffle for me...
I was thinking the 4 yo could have a FF only seat, but I can't decide if that makes sense or not in the long run. We'll probably get a big van within the year so we'll eventually need the tallest HBB, but that's a few years away. If we got the Frontier now (or probably any other combo seat) it will be too wide and will force another child outboard. I can only top tether in the 3rd row, which is a tight fit, so a radian for FF does kind of make sense right now.
BTW playing at BRU is not really an option for me, though I could if absolutely necessary.
We're a foster family open to infants only. And DFD, my 16 mos old, is staying for good.
I would really like rebound control on a convertible. Without that, the seat would have to go outboard because of the way the other RF seat in the 3rd row comes over the top of the 2nd row, and I'm not crazy about tethering everybody EXCEPT the outboard child. And if I must do that, then it will be the oldest RFer which is my tall almost 3 year old so it'd have to be a tall seat anyway.
So for a convertible with rebound control do I have any options other than Radians and TFP? ooooo I hadn't thought about the TFP...I wanted an excuse for one of those a while back!
DD has less than a half inch of grow room in the KF right now. And DH thinks we should just get the van now. I think not so much.
ETA: my sig and pic is not current. Right now 3rd row pass outboard is DS1, FF XTSL; and center is DS2 RF XT. 2nd row center DD2 KF, driver outboard is DD1 RF BLVD
