Help me Choose Pt 2 (pic heavy)

Alright so part one ended w/ me eliminating the RA55 & MR65 as options for us. Part 2 is working with the CA65LX & Radian XTSL

A quick background again. I'm trying to find a seat I can install in the center seat of my second row. Little plastic hinges made this a difficult task. It needs to be used FF by DD until DS outgrows his Avenue, then it'll be passed down to him to use RF. I wanted it to last him to age 4. The crazy part is that I used to have 2 radians and I hated them so I sold them. But here I am, buying another.

The radian is the clear winner and I'll be keeping it. I've already decided so the title of this makes no sense LOL. But I wanted to share pics anyway in case someone ever wants to search for 3 across in a Ford Freestyle.

The Complete Air 65 LX installed in the center on the #2 recline, but I couldn't fit my niece's seat next to it. I didn't try a variety of configureations though because by the time it arrived I had already determined that the radian will be the keeper.

However.... I think I want to keep both seats. :rolleyes: Look how pretty they look together.

I could keep DS in the original CA in DH's car and have the Avenue as back up (grandparents/etc). Then I won't have to worry about him outgrowing 2 seats differently and feel guilty about him being FF in one car. I was only "authorized" to keep one seat though. Help me! How can I convince DH to keep both? :-D Other than "but look how preeeetttyyy"

I would use this excuse:

"honey, i need another seat because when DN outgrows the infant seat, i would need to use the Avenue for her in the car" :p

:D

I agree... I'd keep the CA and use it on one side and the avenue on the other when your DN outgrows her infant seat (or maybe before she does)

I talked him into it! :2thumbsup:

I bought the CA from Babies r us online planning to take in the receipt and do the trade in thing. It was supposed to arrive on the 18th, and it actually didn't even ship until then. :thumbsdown: Got it today so I missed the event. I have another coupon for 20% off any item. Does anyone know if I can do the same thing with that coupon?
