I just wanted to say thank you for everyone's help a couple of months ago (April) when I was trying to decide on car seats to replace 2 seats after my husband's accident. His car had been totalled. I finally decided on the Frontier and the Radian 80 for my 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old sons that are on the larger size. I tried the GN like several of you suggested but my son was too broad. I already had a Regent and a MA for them in my car but I decided to put the Frontier in my car for my 4 yr DS and put the Regent in my mom's car. They are with her quite often.
I have to have 8 seats at any one time since my parents frequently pick my sons up since I work so much. At the same time I was getting ready to buy the replacement seats I noticed that one older seat that someone had given me ironically was expiring that week. I also noticed that the seats that my younger DS was using, one in each of my parent's cars he had actually outgrown. So I had to buy 2 seats in addition to the ones I mentioned above. I only had to buy 2 since I used one that still had not expired that my mother-in-law bought to use for my older son when she comes down. I ended up with 2 Safety First Apexs that I bought at a discount from the U of FL extension office. Needless to say it was an expensive month. I had help from an installer from U of FL to install all 8 since I had to move all of them around including the MA which had to change sides in my Quest to keep peace The installer kept on telling me that I did not need to replace the two that were in the accident since the boys were not in them when the accident happened but I told her what I had read here on on NHSTA.
Once again thank you, I have learned so much from this forum!
