DH's car was in an accident today, so we need to replace the carseats.
DS1 is harnessed in a Graco Nautilus (nearly 8 years old, 48 inches tall, about 50 pounds). I have been happy with it and am planning on getting him another one.
DS2 was in a Graco My Ride 65. (4.75 years old, 40 inches tall, 34 pounds). I turned him forward facing a week ago to accommodate fitting a very large family member in the front seat. His shoulder height was still below the top slot, but as small as he is, we thought he could probably ride rearfacing until he was 6 or 7 by weight, and decided perhaps it was time to turn him forward facing.
Since we will not be using the My Ride 65 rearfacing anymore, is there any advantage to purchasing another one? I was thinking of buying DS2 a Graco Nautilus, since that would last us until DS2 no longer required a carseat (at least I hope he wouldn't need one at 12 - who knows).
I would appreciate any input on this!
