Well, me and DH are having a discussion about this and I want to know what you guys think? I know its hard to believe but I am so much thriftier than I used to be. (Still not sure if I am considered exactly thrifty though )
DS2 is 40ish lbs/3 yrs 8 months and depending on the install/car he has outgrown the RA50 FFing we just gave back to my sister. That leaves me with one lonely radian65 for him. All my other seats are boosters (lots of them, LOL) I am a SAHM and they don't usually ride with anyone else pretty much. If they do I usually switch cars just because its easier. We maybe ride with my mom once a month or DH maybe twice a month. Its just easier for them to ride with me and DH's car is 14 yrs old and not nearly as safe as mine.
I have wondered about emergencies and if I wreck my car then I could have a seat here from amazon the next day. If I needed a second seat and for some reason couldn't use the radian: walmart is less than two miles away and they have Nautili. If my truck burned down, the same applied. Since we have a 5 seater car with a 3-across, no friends ride with us unless they are old enough to use the front seat. If my seat fell apart, I could order a new one over-nighted.
Am I forgetting something or not thinking of something? Do I actually *NEED* a backup?
