Convertible or Combination?

Which seat should I go with next? I listed all my current seats (I think) and expiration dates as known (anything without an expiration listed expires later than the next 2 years). I'd prefer to buy only one seat right now but want something that will work for a long while. I have several seats in mind that I like but am too indecisive. Also not listed are all the dedicated boosters (Monterey, Parkway SG, a truckload of literiders/topsides, and 2 turbo boosters)

Maddie is 4 and nowhere near ready for a booster
Sparky is due January

Other 2 children are solely booster riders and space is not an issue for most vehicles.

Not listed is the GN that expires this month.
Maddie is on the top slot of the radians and JUST outgrew the MR.

Car Seat Type Expiration Who can it fit?
My Ride 65 Convertible 12/2015 Sparky
Coccoro Blue Convertible 8/2016 Sparky
Coccoro Brown Convertible 1/2016 Sparky
Radian 65SL Convertible 5/2017 Maddie/Sparky
Radian 80 Convertible 8/2015 Maddie/Sparky
Size4Me Convertible Maddie/Sparky
Frontier 85 Combination Maddie

Why do you need another seat? It looks like you have 7 that could fit sparky and 4 that fit Maddie.

If I were you, I'd likely get a combination seat next.

I have 4 cars that I need a seat for each of the little ones in. Mine, Dh's, Grandparents, and Babysitter

And many of the convertibles will expire while Sparky is still RF...before she is even 2 actually. But M is long torsoed.

And I might be looking to be enabled.

The list of seats I'm considering:
4Ever
Blvd CT
Recaro Combination
Frontier 90

Well, you currently have 7 seats, so need 1 more, right? Of the 7 seats you have, 6 fit sparky, so I'd hold off on a convertible for now. Since you only have 3 that for Maddie, et her a combination seat. Sparky will use it later.

In a few months when the convertibles dart expiring, you can get another combination for Maddie and move sparky into one if the convertibles that Maddie had been using.

Well...dilema was solved for me. My parents gifted me with a Blvd CT! M has a bit of room in it and as long as she decides to grow legs instead of more torso, I'm good! :dance:
