can't decide if a new HBB is worth it.

kids grow so fast....i only have 2 booster riders left. help me figure out if buying a new seat is worth it.

i didn't plan on any major switching til june. but i'm finding my self become more laxed on the issue

right now i have
DD who is 7.75 yo (8 in may) in a SK Monterey & a harmony NBB. she's been riding in her NBB more frequently with my lazyness.
DS3 who is 5.75yo (6 in june) in a regent & turbo HB. again because of lazyness he has been in the turbo more times than not lately.

i was originally planning to buy a new monterey (blue) for my DS3 for near his birthday but i'm finding it harder & harder to spend that money for not being able to pass it down. plus the issues that some have had with the dionos i'm hesitant.
if i were to buy any booster I REALLY want it to LATCH. i'm lazy & forget to buckle in empty boosters.

i was wondering what if i just let my DD ride FT in a NBB in both vehicles & pass the Monterey down to DS3. It wouldn't expire til DS3 was 7.75yo. and i KNOW it works. plus i have a red cover to use. i love the monterey i have!

FWIW my kids aren't tiny. more like tall/average. i can get exact measurements after school if needed.

How long before the hbtb expires? You could always let ds use that if dd needs a hbb. My 8 yr old ask for hers if we will be in the car more than an hour.

the turbo is DS3's. DD outgrew it already. the turbo is good til 12/2015. dio you means maybe that if/when needed the monterey DD can ride in if its a longer ride & need the sleep support. i hear ya. i think that could work for awhile.

I think that sounds like a good plan. I probably wouldn't buy another HB booster in your situation, I would do the above :)
