So I'm considering buying another carseat for DH's car. Right now the CA is sitting in there waiting for me to reinstall it, but I'm not sure I'm happy with using that seat anymore. It wasn't on the list of recalled seats, but has the same mechanism as the recalled ones. That and it is a PAIN to install. Plus, it is a huge fight getting my 9 month old into it. I definately don't think I need to buy another $260 seat since it won't get THAT much use.
If I were to get another seat, what are some options I might look into? I'd like something that rearfaces to at least 40 lbs and frontfaces to maybe 50-60 lbs. Hopefully by that point we can look into boostering. I'm not sure how long DS's torso is, but he's at the 2nd from the bottom slot in his RN and it actually goes behind his shoulders a good 2-3 inches. I'd also like something that isn't going to be too much of a bear to travel with, as the RN will probably stay behind if we fly back to the states.
Or should I just suck it up and use the CA until he hits the FF weight limit?
