Hi everyone! Over the past week, I've made several post asking questions. From RN questions, FFing questions, outboard questions, etc......so I thought I'd update all my post in one, lol.

After switching seats around In our vans, I thought I'd be ok with FFing my just turned 3yr old in my DH s van. He rarely ever rides in it. I mean like once or twice a month. But I just can't do it. I didn't even make it down the drive, lol. So he still has a clean driving record, lol. I know lots of people FF in one and RF in another vehicle, but I guess I'm not at the point.

So, I've got a RXT coming. Guess I'm in the ranks of those that answer YES to buying a new RFing seat for a 3yr old! I'm hoping I'll like it FFing down the road, but if not, that's ok. This also solves my RN outboard FFing fears.....for now anyway. Many of you suggested the prosport, it looks great. I'll be scoping out NBD if I don't like the RN FFing later.

My other post asked about letting teen pick out board seats, I let one today. He was happy to have a cubby and cup holder. He thanks you, lol.

I guess wit h 6 kids, I just had a horrible case of mommy brain this week, lol.

So,Thanks for your thoughts and for reading!!!

Thanks. My DH probably thought I was moving into the vans! I kept sneaking out to try different seats so he didn't think I was nuts, lol.

I hope the RN comes while he's at work lol.

My DH doesn't care how many seats I buy. He just doesn't need to see me drooling and fondling, you know? Which I do to all new seats.

I'm mom to 5 in IL, too.

My 3.5-year-old son just turned FF in his Radian. He had a bit of room left RF (we shuffled seats once new baby was born) but has very little room FF. I don't even know if he'll make it to age 4.5 in it. Long torso, and I prefer straps above shoulders. But the Prosport is awesome and we love it...just too wide for our set up in the van.

Funny since my other son lasted until over age 6!

Oh, and I've timed seats to arrive during the day. :) I play with them at night.

Hi! Nice to meet you what part of Illinois are you from? We're sorta in the Quad cities...out skirts a few miles.

Do you know your sons torso hight? My son is only 38", but a long torso I guess. I have a 12 passenger van, so have room for the pro sport.
