I'm sort of thinking out loud here and maybe needing some advice. I have a one year old - not sure on exact measurements but he is probably 28-29" and 25 lbs. Huge head. Like off the charts huge.
I am planning to put him into a Clek Fllo just as soon as I can get it ordered. He has been in a Chicco Keyfit but I am seeing the new recommendation is to switch them to convertibles by 1 year (still RF of course). I like the Clek because of the possibly less toxic fabrics and of course it is a really solid safe seat right? That would be for our main car (now a Ford Expedition EL). My 4 year old is already in a Clek Fllo in our main car.
I would like to purchase a second convertible for the 1 year old that is easier to travel by airplane with and that can live in my dh's car for random errands etc. - which is now a Honda Pilot 2010. I am thinking of the Diono - radian rxt on Albeebaby is a pretty good deal right now...? Because I know the Diono folds up for travel and we have 4 kids and I really need something that is as compact as possible for this purpose. It would also be handy if I could use it for my 4 year old on occasion - but of course this requires re-installation...? I have an older Radian - from 2009 - and I really struggle to install it correctly, etc. So I am not 100% on the Diono (not to mention it's fairly pricey for a 2nd/backup seat). Do I have other choices for this 2nd seat that are still easy to travel with? Or do you think I should just go with the Diono?
