Pavillion or FR90...which one to get...

Ok, so today I just bought a Britax Pavillion, but am now rethinking my choice. Now I kinda wish I would have just gotten the FR90. I got it for my almost 3 1/2 year old son whom I have toyed the idea of turning him FF. I just have a hard time thinking that I spent that much money only to keep him RF another 6months maybe.

I know if I kept the Pavillion, I could hand it down to another child (we want more, but I dont know when). But I also have another Advocate that my 21month old is riding in RF, that doesnt expire for another 4years.

Also, my 3 1/2 year old is small and does not grow much (he is 33inches and 26.5lbs).So theoretically, he could RF in the Pavillion until he was probably 5. Even though he could, I just dont think I could do it to him.

I will RF my 21month old for at least another year and a half and then turn him FF. So while I could still use the convertible, I could move him to the FR90 and possibly by that time my oldest may be ready for a booster.

Ok, I am sorry that is SO long...just curious as to what you mamas/daddys/whomever else would do. I am torn...again I apologize but appreciate any insight you may have. I suppose to it also all depdends on if the store will take the seat back. If they wont, then the decision is made for me.

I'd probably keep the Pavilion. The harness works so much better (at least for me), and it has the natural recline for sleeping even when most upright.

I wonder why does the harness work so well on the Pavillion? Our Advocate's harness is so easy and smooth too.

Our Frontier 90? Hard to get tight.

Same company. Weird. Annoying!
