Ok so I'm back to the Bay Area this weekend (from Reno) to buy another car seat. My DD5 yrs and DS 7 yrs are outgrowing the 2 MA's. DD is to chubby and it is hard to buckle it and DS is right at the height limit. I also need to replace the laptop before it expires in Nov. I already bought one Radian, but I can't decide on the other two seats. I was leaning toward a Regent, as DD is always asking to ride in DS's Husky (and because she has never had a girly seat) but I'm questioning it because of the recall. On the other hand, I know that the Regent will install in at least one position in my Surburban with the recline bar/ SBP because DS's Husky just happens to be installed that way currently. If it won't install in another position that way, I can put it where DS is and install the Husky LBP somewhere else. The Regent may or may not install in our other cars well SBP but this is supposed to be a primary seat, so I guess it is ok. I had wanted to wait for the Recaro, but I'm gifting the MA's to a family with twins this weekend, so I can't even use them as backup anymore. Which means the Radian has to go to my mom to use for her truck, and I need a new seat for mine. Eventually, I have to have 2 HWH seats for my mom (one of which cannot require a tether) and both of which need to be convertibles because she uses them for her daycare kids also ( she will not drive a child under 80 lbs in the snow without a 5pt harness) and 2 for for my car.I do not need convertables because I can use the Intera in mine (no glass to hit on rebound) for the day care kids.
Originally, I planned on waiting for the Recaro to decide what to get, but that is no longer an option without the MA's.
So. do I buy a Radian, wait for the Recaro and decide between the Recaro , 3rd Radian or a Regent. Since I know I will definitely need at least one more tether optional seat.
Or do I get a Regent, since I know it will fit the longest, and then wait for the Recaro to decide the 3rd seat.
Maybe I should move to a tent in the middle of the Sahara and never drive anywhere again so I don't have to decide at all.
