After reading some of these threads about the Roundabout, I'm a little bit worried about my DD outgrowing it too soon! She rides with her nana a lot throughout the week, and she has a Roundabout installed outboard in her Acura RDX. She didn't want a "big" car seat like my Marathon, we actually tried the Radian65 in her car but she didn't like the way it fit so she returned it. She decided to go with the Roundabout and I had no objections, it is a very nice seat and I love it.
Well now after hearing that the shell is only 2 inches larger than the SS1, that has me concerned. How long did your kiddos last in the Roundabout RF? How long did they last in the seat altogether? My mother isn't opposed to buying a new car seat in the future, because I let her know that if she goes with a smaller seat she will have to buy another one to accomodate DD in her car. She said that was fine. But she will not want to switch seats before the Roundabout is outgrown... so if she gets to tall to RF in the Roundabout before she hits the max weight, do I just turn her around? I would not be comfortable doing that.
My DD is tiny. At 12 months she weighs 17.5 lbs and is 28" long.
