Hello! I'm kinda new, kinda not around here. I used to hang out on this board years ago (like 10-12) when my oldest 2 children were born. Now, we have the unexpected, yet happy joy to have baby #3 on the way, due in February.
Several months ago, DH and I traded in our old cars (he a 01' problem ridden Windstar and me a '94 Cavalier) for 2 newer vehicles. Jon now drives a Chevy Cobalt (07) and I am in a Ford Focus (08). So, needless to say, squeezing 5 people in what are essentially compact cars is not going to be an easy task. (Kayla and Josh have passed the 5 step test in both vehicles and are riding with seat belts only.)
Looking at seats (boy how some things have changed in 10 years!), we have been eyeing the Chicco Keyfit30 and the SR30, and wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with either of these seats in either the Focus or the Cobalt or something similarly sized.
DH isn't thrilled at the price for the Keyfit, especially since we'll need an extra base, but he seems willing to accept it, if we'll get the better fit from it.
Any thoughts?? Thanks so much for your time!
PS if you have a different suggestion for a seat we should take a look at, please don't hesitate to share!
