going to get new seats in the fall-suggestions?

CrabbyBunchX3 · Jul 30, 2008

I am planning on buying new car seats in the fall and was hoping for some suggestions. I was only planning to buy 2 seats for the younger kiddos, as DD1 has a pre-advisory regent that she still fits really well.

Kid stats and seats are in my siggie. I drive a 2000 dodge grand caravan with middle and rear bench seats.
My kids won't stay seated long enough for me to measure torsos, but I will list how they fit in their current seats.

DS- even with the top slots of his uptown-though now that he is in underwear he might be a little under them
DD2-RFing uses 2nd from bottom slots on scenera

I appreciate any and all suggestions.
TIA

What kind of budget are you looking at?

If youa re looking for the most bang for your buck, I'd probably get DS a Graco Nautilus, and YDD an Evenflo Triumph Advance. What kind of vehicles do you drive? Do you ever need to fit 3 across?

If you did this, then Older DD stays in the regent until she outgrows it, then pass the regent to DS, and use Nautilus as booster for Older DD. YDD should be able to stay in ETA for at least 5 years, and then you could follow up with whatever EH seat is available at that time, since the regent will have expired.

I'd actually recommending getting a Frontier for your son. When he outgrows it, give him the Regent and let your daughter use it as a booster. Get the baby an Evenflo Triumph Advance or a Britax Marathon. When she outgrows that, move her to the Frontier (since it has a 9 year life span).

thank you both.

$500 is the max i could spend, hoping to keep it below that though.

I just have the grand caravan and do not see a need for a 3across. My DH has a chevy equinox (work vehicle), but we don't use it for family travel(If we take any of the kids in it, we usually only take one at a time).
