I'm finding myself tempted to buy a CA50 on clearance (tags still attached) for $79 DOM 2/22/10. I really don't need it. I already have 5 carseats for 4 vehicles for my rf 34 month old (2 TFs, 2 Uptowns & 1 FPSVD). DS is 30 lbs. I'm not sure of his current height but he's not tall. He's using the 2nd slots (from the bottom) on each of the seats with several inches of shell above his head. My goal is to keep him RF to at least his 3rd birthday but preferably through the winter, when he'll be about 3.5. His current seats should do that, right?
The Uptowns will most likely be outgrown before he's booster ready and the FPSVD expires next year so I'll need to buy at least one more harnessed seat eventually. Should I buy the CA now for the extra 5 lbs rf (current seats all rf to 35 lbs), watch for a deal on a Radian, or wait until the Uptowns are outgrown and purchase combination seats at that time? I have a 7 year old DS as well and don't plan to have any more children to pass seats down to. I think as long as his current seats get DS2 through the winter, when I'll be comfortable ff him if he hits the rf limits of his seat, it probably makes more sense to hold off on purchasing new seats until the Uptowns are outgrown.
