Hi everyone!
I'm hoping you will let me pick your brains. We've been kind of hobbling along best we can re: car seats but now that I have time to sit and think about it, I want to make sure that the kids are all in the best seats and best configuration for our vehicles.
We currently drive:
- 2015 Chrysler Town & Country
- 2009 Honda Fit.
We generally ALWAYS have the kids in the T&C, but occasionally we have had one kid drive with Daddy in the Fit. I'm not keen on it at all, but it is what it is.
Our kiddos and their seats.
- our super tall 6-year-old transitioned to a booster last year. She will be 7 right after Christmas. I'm wondering if it is still a good choice for her because she was really good about sitting properly at first, but now she is moving around too much.
She has an Evenflo Big Kid seat

She is seated in the 3rd row, passenger side.
- our 4-year-old boy is average height and weight. He is currently in a Graco MyRide 65.

He is steated in the 3rd row, UAS, driver side.
- our baby just turned 1. She is currently still in her bucket seat and I'm sure will have to be transitioned to a convertible shortly. I want to pick the one that will last her the longest.
We have the base latched into the captain's seat behind the driver.
The captain's seat on the passenger side is permanently stowed for easy access to buckle/unbuckle the 4 year old.
We are super conscious of our budget, so we try to keep costs as low as we can. We live in Ontario.
We haven't had the best experience with car seat techs and I'm kind of bracing myself for negative comments We're trying, guys!
Thanks in advance for any insight!
