My first son was 20" but only 5lbs 12oz when discharged from the hospital. I need a sure fit for small babies.
Then I have to decide what to do with my almost 3 year old who is currently 22lbs and 33". He will be 3 1/2 when baby comes and I assume he will still be extra small (he wears 12-18m shirts and has a 12" torso) -- I'm not sure on his seated height but he still has at least 3" of shell in his Marathon.
My other car is also very small (it's a Buick Verano/Chevrolet Cruze body). Ideally I will buy two seats and install them next to each other (both new seats since I am moving his Marathon to our extended cab truck to keep him rear facing). I'm not really feeling ready to move him forward facing at his size.
So I need:
low harness slots
seat that fits small spaces at newborn recline
and narrow
I'm leaning towards the Cosco Scenera NEXT for both kids. Possibly a Combi Coccoro for the baby and something like a Graco Contender for my 3 year old. Do newborns fit the Contender, too?
