I hope someone with experience can explain/give their opinions to help me with some questions
I need to purchase a new seat for my 2 year old son. We also have a 6 month old, but he will be moved into his brother's current seat (an evenflo triumph advance). Both kids are RF and I would like to keep my older son RF for as long as possible. We have a 2006 Altima and a 2012 Sonata. Both of my kids are on the tall side so this is a consideration. My older son is very skinny though while my younger one is a chubster I am waivering between getting a radian120 or one of the britax models.
I like the idea of any seat that is going to carry me through to 40lbs rearfacing and last long when we do turn FF. I have heard the radian is a difficult fit RF, and unfortunately, it is an hour drive to check one out in my area. I will do it if I get good feedback about them on here though. Otherwise, I was looking at the britax models but not sure which one is the right one for me. I will have to purchase two seats, as my husband and I each have the kids an equal amount of time with our work schedules and shifting seats constantly is something I would like to avoid. I will put out the money now for a more expensive seat, as long as it will be lasing me a long time.
I have one additional question. I have been reading on here about this RF tethering. What does this mean? I feel like there is something I should be doing but am not? This makes me nervous. Any input would be great.
TIA!
