Our current car situation:
Primary car:
DS1 (3.5) FF BLVD
DS2 (1) RF Graco Safe Seat (30lb 32in limit, shoulder straps have one more slkot to go still)
Dad's car:
DS1 FF Marathon
DS2 RF Safe Seat (have 2 bases)
~~~~~~~~~~~
We are planning to move the baby to the MA in the primary car and then just leave the safe seat in Dad's car for the situation when one of us needs to go somewhere with one child. We coudl easily do this another 3-6 mo as DS2 is no where near th eshell limit ont he safe seat.
BUT - we are moving kids to a daycare near home (10 min max) and Dad will be doign drop off once that change happens. SO,...we need to rethink our car seat options.
I was considering:
OPTION A:
Primary, DS1 FF BLVD, DS2 RF MA.
Dad car, DS1 FF Cosco HBB, DS2 Safe Seat (until he reaches limits)
But I am afraid DS1 might already be too tall for the Cosco HBB - need to test it.
Alternately - we coudl go with
OPTION B:
primary, DS1 FF BLVD, DS2 RF alternate Convertible (Scenera?)
Dad car, DS1 FF MA, DS2 RF Safe seat for now and switch to somethign else in 4-6 mo.
WE are not in the market to buy expensive seats - it jsut isn't in the budget right now.
I woudl apprecaite thoughts on the best way to handle this. Please weigh in on your thoughts on the Cosco HBB (this one has the molded belt grooves), info on the height limit for it.
Also - suggestions for other harnessed boosters woudl be appreciated, as would thoughts on alternate convertible seats.
Thank you.
