I'm trying to decide whether or not I should keep my daycare girl RF when she tops out her current seat. She's 2yrs 7 mos. 31lbs in a 33lb MA. I need to stick with the seats I already have.
Quick version...would you keep her RF and make your own kids a little less safe or would you FF her so your own kids can be the safest they can?
Longer detailed version....
Her parents are aware of RF benefits. She was RF in their cars until 2. I'm sure they'd be fine if I turn her in mine.
These are my seats:
MA 33lb RF limit
Radian XT 40lb RF limit
Frontier
Recaro Vivo
my kids: DD2 almost 6. Rides in harnessed Frontier and Vivo...rule follower and good booster rider
DD3 almost 4. Just turned FF in Radian. 39lbs.
I drive a Ford Flex. Bench 2nd row so 3 seating spots and 2 seating spots in 3rd row. Side airbags, top safety pick all that good stuff.
I watch her 3x/week. I frequently remove her seat during the off days so I can haul friends/teenager's friends easier. This wasn't a problem with the MA. If she moves to the Radian, it will have to stay installed all the time. A RF Radian only works in 1 spot in the second row. It makes it so I can't flip the seat so 3rd row passengers must go through the hatch or climb over.
Option 1) DCG: FF MA, DD3: FF Radian, DD2: Frontier
Option 2) DCG: RF Radian, DD3: FF MA, DD2: Frontier
Option 3) DCG: RF Radian, DD3 Frontier, DD2 Booster full time
So WWYD?
