For the Chicco Strada, if you have one do you like it? Pros, cons? Could it work 3 across next to a FF MR?
Ds2 is almost even with the top slots on his GN. He has maybe 1/4 in left to grow. We have both a PWSG and SGL that are hard to buckle because of the 3 across in dh's 2010 Malibu. The PWSG does fit well in that spot but buckling is a pain for dh. I tried the Compass B540 but it was a little too wide to be able to buckle. The PWSG was easier than the B540 but not easy enough. I have tried a ProBooster and Turbo in there too. Both were a no-go. I am looking at the Strada and Cybex X-Fix but am open to others. I remember reading something not so good about the Cybex booster but don't remember what it was. I am not a fan of Evenflo hbb's. Ds2 needs good headwings for sleeping. The other issue is not having the headwing up against the roof/door. The shape of the top/side of the car is at a big angle so a seat with good headwings that are not as wide as the B540 is what I need. The Strada looks like the headwings are decent and not so wide. I can't really tell on the X-Fix though. The GN fits perfectly but too wide to use as a booster in there. So advice please!!!
I can also move ds3 to the GN if there is a booster that would work next to it but I doubt that would be better since the MR has such a narrow base and high sides making it easy to get your had down to buckle a booster. Ds1 is in a Big Kid nbb on the other side of the MR.
