I have a Graco SafeSeat DOM March 2007. I have two bases for it, one is January 2007 and I believe the other is sometime in 2006 (I'm too lazy to find it in the basement)
First question. I know the seat itself expires December 2013 (what is embossed in the plastic) but when does the base expire? 6 years from DOM or in December, like the seat? I've e-mailed Graco about it but I am getting impatient waiting for a response.
Ok, so this is really premature thinking. I have #3 due in the fall. I'm mostly wondering if I can use the seat again but if one of my bases is expired, I'll most likely just buy a new seat anyways. I liked having the infant carrier for the first two (born November and December) and while I'd like to use an infant carrier for this one, I'm not sure it is necessary. I'm in MB. What do you think?
This baby is due around DD's 5th birthday and I don't know if she'd be ready for a booster. I doubt it. She's tall but currently 37lbs and I think I'd rather keep her harnessed as long as possible. For our two vehicles, we currently own 3 Radians and 1 Marathon. She's almost outgrown her Marathon in height but still has some room to grow in the Radian (I'll switch her to a Radian in both vehicles and give her younger brother born December 2009 the Marathon... which means I'll have to switch him forward facing).
Am I best to just buy another infant carrier? If so, know of one that will puzzle well with Radians in a 2009 Hyundai Sonata?
