Hello all,
I am so confused. I have a 2.5 year old who is 28 pounds and 37 inches tall. she is in a FFing Britax Roundabout 55 in our family van (used once a week and for random long car trips) and a Britax Boulevard 70 G-30 in my car (used every day). My 5-month old son is almost 19 pounds and 27 inches long. He is getting too heavy for me to carry in the Chicco Keyfit.
Do I switch my daughter into a combination car seat and move my son into the convertibles rear facing or do I keep her in the Britax seats she has and purchase new convertibles (with higher weight limits) for him?
My concerns with a combination is that they seem so straight and she still sleeps in her car seat. And I am seeing most do not have a lock off for the belt (I think I need this). I want to harness for as long as possible and realize I may need to purchase combinations later anyways with the lower weight limits of my two convertible car seats (purchase two years ago). So do I go with combination for her now? And if so, which one is the best with lockoff? I have looked online at the Britax Frontier 90, Graco Nautalis, Recaro Performance Sport, and the Diono Radian.
Any and all advice (aside from turning her back around) is appreciated. I know rear facing is recommended as long as possible but it is no longer possible and she made it to two years old rear facing.
