DS is outgrowing the EFTA in grandma's car. He is 2y7m old, 28ish lbs and approx 37" tall. He is RF in my car in a MyRide and in DH's car in a Radian XTSL. We have a spare Avenue, but he's over the height limit.
So what would you do - have him FF in grandma's car (he rides with her once every 2 weeks)? Or put him RF in the Avenue (there is plenty of shell over his head)? Or something else?
My mom isn't the best at installing carseats. Even after I show her and let her do it with me there, she tends to do it wrong. She also takes the seat out pretty regularly even though she watches my niece every Wednesday. The 2 kids share the seat RF now.
I have a spare Radian and angle adjuster that I am going to try on Sunday, but I'm not convinced she'll leave it in all the time or be able to install it correctly if she does take it out.

I put a 1" book on his head last time he was in the EFTA and it was only about a 1/2" to the top of the shell. He probably has 2-3 inches over his head in the Avenue, but we don't use it regularly so I'm not certain. We used it this last week for one trip while we were waiting on the AA in DH's car and he wasn't close enough to the top for me to get out the book to measure since I knew it was a temporary situation.
