Hello all
I'm back after a good three week hiatus...
Son had his tonsils out. Whoever said kids bounce back faster after that surgery never saw my kid
But, he's finally feeling better now.
So....I'm still trying to figure things out car seat wise here.
We're likely going to get a Mazda 5 the next year or two.
We'll also be adding a third child to the family (very likely).
The car seats are likely looking like this:
A true fit and a Frontier (getting the Frontier tonight, trying to install in our Toyota Corolla, crossing my fingers)...
Our two year old is fine in the True Fit. We had another True Fit for my four year old, but he went and grew again (what is it with these kids, thinking they can just sprout up when they feel like it?? ) - so we returned his True Fit that we were hoping to use until at least the fall so we could have time to compare the Frontier AND the Nautilus (Nautilus comes out in Canada in the fall, sigh...) But he went up and beyond the top slots of the True Fit, and since it can't turn into a booster, we returned it.
Obviously I would like the seats to fit in the Corolla we have now and the Mazda 5.
I know the Frontier is okay in the middle row in the Mazda 5, but has anyone tried them out in the back yet????
How about the True Fit? Anyone know?
I could buy a Nautilus in a year or two for my two year old who'll be 4 then (or close to it) when we get a Mazda 5, which I read installed okay
(uhhh, at least I ASSUMED it does in the backseat, Debbie - (Defrost) - hellllp! Was it backseat???)
With three kids I'll need to put someone back there...
So we could end up with a Frontier for Gigantor (my oldest), a Nautilus for my current youngest child, and then the True Fit could go to the youngest (should we indeed have a third).
I can't bring all seats (currently) to try a Mazda 5, as the Nautilus isn't out here yet.
Any thoughts here?
I'm posting on Canada side too, but wanted as many who might be able to help to see it.
Thanks again!
Deb
