My husband is gonna kill me.

I just ordered DD a Diono R120.

We have 1 14 month old, 2 vehicles, and this will be her 4th seat lol.
We have the TFP in his car, a Scenera as a back up seat and a MR in our main car. I'm sick of bumping her head against the top of the car though so this justifies needing a new seat. Plus I've always wanted a Radian:D

Anyone know how well they fit in a 2010 Equinox/Terrain?

Shoot, only your 4th? You've got some catching up to do! ;)

I'm not sure about your specific car, but I have a 2011 Traverse and the Radian touches the front seat when installed outboard, at least driver side. I've read on here that is a no-no, but nothing in the manual that I can find says that it's prohibited. I can get in the center too, but prefer it outboard.

I refuse to count how many seats I have right now. :eek:. In, my defense I have 6 kids, 4 in some sort of seat AND I'm in flux figuring out what I want CJ in. ;) Some will soon be on the chopping block.

ETA: I counted. 10 and 2 on the way. /blush But no husband to worry about. :ROTFLMAO:

You are my idol!

I don't feel so bad now for feeling the need to have 4 sets of seats for each kid. That would only give me 12 :cool:

2 kids, 6 seats, 1 car! LOL

I wouldn't tell him, he may not even notice...or I'd sell one.

Oh he will definitely notice! I never had luck selling seats. I like to have extras anyway so I can install them in anyone's car that might be watching her. I don't trust anyone else to put in a seat correctly.

I like her outboard too. I think I read that GM allows bracing. I'm not sure if the Traverse and Terrain have the same type of seats or not.

Yeah - seats happen :D

People ask me for recommendations about convertible seats and I give them the top 5 or so that get recommended around here... they ask me what I have and it's not one of those five and I have to explain that I go through seats and I don't just buy one that will last the longest, I buy what I think would be fun to play with and comfy for her right.this.minute :love:

Oh, and FWIW, I have 3 kids in seats and currently have 11 seats. I've also given 5 to my dd for 2 of her kids...2 of which were bought new for her baby...the others were hand me downs. ;)
 
:eek:Wow, some of you have a lot of seats! We have one in my hubby's truck and one in my Ody and that is all. We still have her infant seat, but that is going to expire eventually (hopefully not before we have another, but if so that means I get to go shopping) I sold our boosters last year (from our 11yr old) :)

So do you use all those seats? And how do you afford it? (not getting personal, just curious) I freakout spending 200$+ on a seat and her safety is my utmost concern. I'm such a cheapskate :eek:
