Baby #3 will be here soon, so I need to get shopping for a 3rd car seat! Here's what we have so far: our car is a 2005 RAV4, old style so it does have 3 seat belts.
DS1: 3 year old, almost 4, 39 lbs, about 39 inches, still RF in a Radian RXT installed in the center with an angle adjuster, but very close to needing to be turned around FF, still has a good 2 inches above his head.
DS2: 23 months, 26 lbs, 32 inches, RF behind the passenger seat in a Radian RXT with an angle adjuster.
What we have tried: Graco Snugride 32 with base, too wide, without the base it barely fits, but I just can't see having to install it everytime we need to go somewhere. I think a 3rd Radian will fit, but without the angle adjuster, it will be too long front to back. We did have DS1 in a Radian fully reclined as an infant, and it barely fit in the middle seat, but the passenger & drivers seats had to be pulled forward and it wasn't the best for us in the front. The way we have it now is comfortable for everyone. DS rode in the snugride behind the drivers side until he was old enough to use the angle adjuster.
So we need a narrow, and short front to back infant seat or convertable, but I'm thinking I'll prefer the infant seat having 3 kiddos so young. Here's the seats I'm considering:
Chicco KeyFit30
Cybex Aton
Combi Coccoro
Any ideas?
The closest babies r us is 3 hours away, so the next time we go up there, I want to make sure they have all the car seats I want to try out in stock. We also may be going by a buy buy baby later this summer too. So I will be testing seats out before buying
