I need some advice on buying a new car seat. DS (9mo, 17 lbs) is 29" and needs to move out of Snugride. DD (3y, 32 lbs, 37") is FF in Marathon. The options I've considered are to get a roundabout for DS and leave DD in Marathon or get a Frontier 85 SICT for DD and move DS to Marathon. The thought with a roundabout vs a 2nd marathon is that when we travel, I DESPISE hauling the marathon through the airport. I was hoping that when DS grew out of roundabout, we could move him to marathon and DD would be ready for a booster. I like the idea of the Frontier 85 being the last seat we'll need for DD but is it the safest option for her? Are there other seats that use a 5 point and then change to a booster that are less expensive? I would love to have an extensive car seat collection but DH does not agree Please advise on some good options keeping in mind safety (of course), price, and minimizing car seat purchases in the long run. Thanks!
