After selling many car seats, I was proud of myself. I had no more spares.
Then.....the inevitable happened! I made three impulsive purchases:
1. Britax Frontier 85 WAYFAIR Clearance seat (2011 DOM)
2. TFP (rebound) KOHL'S Clearance seat (2010 DOM)
3. Evenflo Secure Kid 400 SEARS' seat during a sale (2011 DOM--assuming the DOM b/c it hasn't been delivered yet)
Ugghhhh....now I have 3 spares all over again!
In addition to the seats listed above, I also own an EFTA 50 (2010 DOM w/ 8 year exp date), EFTA 65 (2011 DOM), Graco MR (2009 DOM), and a RNXTSL (2009 DOM).
Thinking of giving one seat to MIL, who is in MD, to use for my husband's niece when she keeps her and for DD2 when we visit--most likely will give her the MR 65. I'm also going to give her a booster (Evenflo Big Kid Booster--Heart Scribbles) to use for DD1 when we visit.
Then I'll be left with 2 spares--the 2 EFTAs. DH s the EFTA b/c of the adjuster knobs--I want to keep them when DD2 turns FF. However, I also love the TFP for the lock offs--my 94 accord doesn't have the automatic retractor seatbelts & using the locking clips suck .
Decisions.....decisions.....through it all.....I still get a hoot and thrill on getting car seats....go figure.... This is definitely a self-induced issue, so I'm a little embarrassed.
What do you guys do with your spares? Do you feel guilty about not using the spares and them going to waist?
What makes me feel better is that I didn't really invest a lot of money in the car seats except for the RNXTSL--I did pay $$$ for that one.
