I thought I was all set till I saw the pictures of the Frontier! I LOVE the red & black. DS's head is at the top of his Marathon that he uses in DH's car. DH is picking up his new Saturn Aura today. I bought a Regent on the sale in February thinking it would go in DH's car. I haven't opened it yet because its been so cold here, I didn't want to be outside messing with carseats.
So, now I see the Frontier. Its smaller. Its got the beautiful red. Its got cupholders. It can go on an airplane. Its got a place for him to rest his head (he hates that he doesn't have anywhere to rest his head in regent in my car).
Cons - its more expensive than the $209 I paid for the regent. No one has actually used it or seen it.
What should I do? Put the Marathon back in the new car and wait to order a Frontier? Keep the Regent and just pretend I didn't see the Frontier?
Complicating factors: We do occasionally fly, but I don't know if we will anytime soon. My mom lives in AL and its a long drive, but we don't really have the $$ to fly now that we have the baby and DS's tuition. However, she could always surprise us with tix - then I wouldn't have a car seat for him there. If I had the Frontier, I could take it with. DS has an abnormally large head. He outgrew his Wizard because his head was too big. I wonder if the Frontier's wings are going to be a problem? He fits fine in DD's Blvd. Also - he's in DH's car once a week tops.
So - what would you all do?
