LOL, yep, I've been thinking about a seat for "the new baby" and my husband is still in Iraq so we aren't even trying yet!! (will be in a couple weeks though!)
My thoughts were, RA and then Husky or infant seat and then Marathon, Decathalon or Boulevard.
Is it 6 yrs that Husky's are good for? I don't know if I'll get to pass them down or not, with the huge age spread. I figure if I get pg in the next month or two, its still going to be a good 5 yrs from *now* before that kid would be 40 lbs.
And then to make my head spin even more, I realize that there is just no telling what carseats will be like 5 yrs from now and what will be available. Anyway, I"m thinking infant seat and then one of the Britax convertibles with the higher limits. For that kid LOL.
AND I guess one benefit is - if i got the Marathon for DD now, then when "the new baby" is 22 lbs and too big for the infant seat, (around 18 months from now, assuming easy ttc and a baby that doesn't grow faster than my other two) I could put DS into a booster, DD into the Husky, and the baby into the Marathon. Hmmm.... You know, thats a good idea. I'm not sure how long I'll keep Ds in the Husky, but by 7, I think I'll probably be okay with him sitting in a regular booster. okay, my head's starting to spin now.
(came back and thinking more... 18 months from now, Aaric would be 6 yrs 10 months. Mikayla would be 5 yrs 1 month. IF I'm still too freaked to put Aaric into a booster, I could then just buy another Husky. )
OKAY. So. I think if she fits well in the Marathon, I'll get it. And if it fits well in the van, of course. DH says if she likes the cow, get her the cow. I still want to talk her into a floral LOL.
