I was rear ended today with both seats & kids in the car. We are all ok, just a little sore. DS is 5.5 and in a NextFit, DD is 8 mos in a Graco bucket. Everyone is happy with their current seats, but I'm thinking at this point DS should go to some sort of booster and DD to a convertible? Just for some background DS RF'd in the NextFit until he was 4 yrs 10 mos, we only flipped him because DD was coming along.
So, I'm sort of tempted to just get two NextFits, as they seem to last kids a long time in both directions, but I haven't looked at seats in ~2 yrs so I don't know what else has come up. And I know nothing about boosters, so would like advice if you think it's wiser to get DS into a booster at this point (harnessed or belted?). In case it factors in, we do not have drop off lines at school, we have to take DS out and walk him inside.
DS is somewhere around 44" and 43 lbs, DD maybe 28" and 18 lbs. We have a VW Passat and prefer to have the kids next to each other.
Many thanks if you got this far!
