DS is 3y6m, 38.5", ~34 lbs and currently RF in XTSLs in both cars. I'm debating on when I want to turn him FF. He's been asking and it is getting to be a pain to buckle him in. My plan was to turn him FF this spring, but now I'm second guessing myself. He has a huge head and still fits in the seats we have.
We are also flying to FL in May so I'm debating on what seats to take and it kind of plays a part in if we FF DS or not. If we weren't flying I would probably just keep DS RF as long as we could, but it might be easier to travel if he's FF. DD will be RF in a seat as well, so we need 2 seats. DS will be FF on the plan no matter what we decide on RF/FF in the car. They both have seats on the plane.
Current seats we could use are 2 XTSLs, 2 S4M and 1 Avenue.
My dilemma is that the XTSL would be great FF on the plane since he'll be able to use the tray. But if we bring that and he's FF in the car then do we need to take off the safestop on the plane? If he still RF in the car, then we'll need to bring the angle adjuster & RF boot with use too and adjust the harness for RF again when we get there. I hate adjusting the harness on the RN and it is heavy!
If we bring the S4M, he's so squished in it RF it will be annoying all week trying to get him in there, but it is easy to install as is without extra 'stuff'.
If we turn him FF in the car, then I'll probably bring the Avenue FF for DS and the S4M RF for DD. Or convince DH to get a FF only seat for him like a Maestro and take that and the Avenue.
What would you do?
