T.O. Twins
New member
We are carpooling our twins with a friend who has an old VW sedan with only a middle lap belt. To make all three kids fit in their car, we've moved one of our Radians into the middle position and the other two 5 year olds will be riding in boosters (their kid already rides in a booster full time).
In our car, my 5.25 year old twins have been riding in Radians and I planned to keep them in there until they were six or no longer fit (I am OK with them in boosters for the short ride to and from school in their friend's car). But now we are in the position that we only have 1 Radian for our car. So the question is, do we just switch them to HBBs which would be about $140 for two Turboboosters or do we spring for another Radian for $219 (we're in Canada, so that's the sale price on the Radian 65's right now).
My twins are pretty mature and usually take safety warnings very seriously, so they probably could handle the boosters, but this is earlier than I thought we would make the switch, so I'm just not sure... What would you do?
