S/O Diono giveaway: which one?

I never win contests, but I've been thinking about the Diono one a bit. If you had my kids, and my seats and my cars, what would you choose?

DS is 5 years 3 month. Not yet booster ready
DD is 2 years almost 11 months. RF but will probably be turned before the summer.

We have a TF, TFP (DD's seats mainly), ProSport, and a Regent (which I would love to get rid of).

Do I get yet another convertible that I could use now for either kid, or do I get a booster that DS could begin to use over the next year. We don't have any boosters at the moment, except for the Harmony Literider that is used as a table booster :p.

I'd opt for the rxt and hope someone would do a partial trade plus pp for a booster.

I think its weird you get to choose your seat but not the color.

That's what I can't get over about it. The RXT is definitely worth more than the Monterey. I don't think I'd buy a Monterey if it weren't given to me. Hm. I'd have to try it, but maybe I could get the RXT, and get rid of the Regent for DH's car.

I was just thinking about this today. I don't need any radians, so the monterey might be a good choice, except I don't need any high back boosters either, so then I decided that if I won, I'd get a radian and give to charity. Or to a friend or relative. Course, I may change my mind if I actually won. It's a lot easier to be charitable before you actually win.

Anyway, for your situation, I think I'd pick the monterey for future boostering.

I'd get the RXT. I am entirely underwhelmed by the Monterey. The RXT is more versatile and you could use it for a while and then FSOT for a much higher value.

I could get a radian but it would be pointless if I didn't get cobalt because Emma wouldn't sit in a new seat if it wasn't blue. A Monterey might be useful this summer.

I actually really like the Monterey :confused: Mine has the crappo belt guide but I'm sure the new ones they're giving away don't. And they're sending me a new belt guide. Other than that I really like it.

I'd get the rxt. It can be used with a wider age range and fits in small places. It will allow you to rf your kids if you ever want (even if its just for an occasional 3 across or other tight fit situation).
