Get another base, or infant padding for TFP?

I need help deciding. We're getting a 2nd car and DS is riding in a KF 30. I see that the bases are like $80, that's a little outrageous. I have a TFP I could use for him, but I don't have the infant padding any more. Should I go ahead and just buy the extra base, or stalk here for the TFP padding?

How big is he? He may not need the infant padding. You could use some rolled up recieving blankets if he needs a little extra support.

He's 3 months old and like 23 inches and 14 ish lbs. I haven't tried it in him lately, but I know when he was like a month old he still had a while to the top slots.

How often will he ride in the 2nd vehicle? The KF is really easy to install baseless. We never got a 2nd base for DH's pickup and it wasn't really a big deal but she didn't ride in it often. When we went on long trips I'd just switch over the base because again it's so easy to install it would only take minutes.

Pretty often, a few times a week probably.

I've tried installing it baseless and I can NEVER get it tight as I want. It is always either still loose, or slides up and down at the feet, so the angle gets messed up.
