My parents have just moved out to be closer to the grandkids. A couple of years ago, I bought a Radian Premier, which we had left at their house in Ontario and was used only by our eldest.DOM is 2007-06-16, model number is C18500.
Now that they are here, I had decided to use the Radian RF for the toddler, and get a Frontier XT for the kindergartener. In our car, #1 rides in a Frontier XT; I need to weigh and measure both kids again, but last I checked he was about 45lbs and 120cm. He is 5.75 years, and very squirmy so I prefer keeping him harnessed. #2 is in a Next-gen Boulevard, RF; he's 30 lbs and maybe 80cm at 2.5 years.
So. I just looked at the Radian's manual and - sigh - the RF limits are 30lbs and 81cm. Sigh. The youngest is probably right at or around those limits. There go the best-laid plans
I guess I *could* have #2 FF in the Radian, but my plan has been to keep him RF as long as possible. Plus, if he FFed in his grandparents' car, I'm afraid he will fight RF in ours. (He's had no issue with it to now, in fact I think he likes it.)
I haven't bought the second Frontier yet, I was hoping there'd be a Britax sale sooner or later I have a Clek Ozzi for #1 which we use for travel (taxis to/from airports, etc) and can be used in a pinch.
Anyway, now that my plans seem to have gone pear-shaped, I don't know what to do. Help, please?
