I'm in a bind, stressed and confused. We are in the process of taking in a foster child. She is a relative and se are already raising her biological sister.
We currently have a 3.5 yr old girl who is 41 lbs, a 3 year old boy who is 33 lbs, and the newest addition is 2, and I don't know her size.
I drive a 2007 Toyota Prius. That is the dilemma. I love the car and I really need to save on gas, as I drive far daily for work.
The only carseats. That will fit (at least I hope they'll fit) are the Radian seats. It will be about $900 to buy 3 of these. I think it only makes sense to buy the new models so I don't have to buy boosters in the next few years.
My car has 93,000 miles so it won't last a whole lot longer.
Should I buy the seats now, or just get a different car? We are also not financially in a position to really do either, which is the lessor of two evils?
If anyone has had a similar dilemma, is be grateful for advice.
Thanks!
