Keep 2nd BV or exchange for Como

I ordered a 2nd BV for DH's car from Baby Age during the sale. The plan was to have him in both BV until he grew out of them, then see what's on the market.

But then on Thursday I got a great deal on a Safeguard seat ($219). The new plan is that when DS is big enough to FF ( currently 2y 8 m, 28lbs and 34"), I would take the BV out of DH's car and give him the Safeguard and then sell that BV that's only be used for 12-18 months, and we would still use the BV in my car (2005 DOM) until he grows out of it.

But now that I've read the changes to the Como RF instructions (the head cushion etc), I'm thinking that a Como might be better value. It can be used RF in DH's car, and then FF, and I get the safeguard in my car. Those 2 seats will get DS well beyond 6. By then the BV in my car will have had 3-4 years of use, and I can then pass it to a friend, no hassles with selling it.

So what should I do. Keep the new BV or exchange it for a Como (I'll be out the return shipping on the BV).

I actually was trying to make the decision between these two seats...I chose the Como and I am selling the BV on ebay, since it was on sell, I can make back what I spent on it (or come really close)

How are you selling it on ebay - I've never done that. If I'm to sell it or exchange it - it's probably best to do it NIB. DH will kill me if I bring this up again...I agonized over the Como/BV, made a decision, but now with the safeguard I got, I'm re-thinking it all.

Yes, I am selling it NIB. If you go to ebay, you will see a tab at the top of the page with "Sale"..just click on that and it will walk you throught the process. A BV just like mine went for 240 + shipping yesterday and all I need to get is that and I will be made back what I paid for it.

Maybe I should sell my Blvd. I used it this past weekend and I just really regret. I think it's a nice seat, but my DS is already 13" torso, so it won't last long. I hate paying this much for a seat that will only last a year. The Como sounds really nice. Thanks for the tip on selling on ebay.
