So, I re-RFed my 2.5 year old about a week ago. That is going great! He's happy - loves it - I'm happy, it's all good....
But here is the problem that I did not foresee..... I no longer have a spare car seat because we decided to use the older RN 65 for DS3 and re-RF DS2 in the XTSL.....
I have a sitter a few mornings a week for my two eldest sons. I am gone for part of the day tomorrow and will have the van - with all the carseats - unless I pull the XTSL and re-set it up for FFing DS2 in her Beetle. I do not believe she'll be able to get the RN in her beetle RFing. Am I mistaken on this??
She'll be fine being stuck home tomorrow, since this is the first time, but I don't see this as a viable long-term plan. I either get stuck home because she takes the van and two of my kids, or she gets stuck home when I go out, or I deal with reconfiguring the RN every time - and I don't think I want to go there. I think DH's best efforts to avoid buying yet another seat may have officially failed!
So, do I:
1) get DS3 a new 80SL (or something else) and make the 65 the spare seat again, but configured for FFing DS2 in the Beetle or DH's Jetta;
2) buy a Maestro or some other FF combo seat for DS2's use in the sitter's Beetle and/or DH's Jetta;
3) buy a seat that will keep DS2 RFing in other vehicles - if this, then what, since we're talking about small cars, and it will need to be fairly easy to install.
Thanks! I wish I'd thought of this earlier....
