Ok, somewhere along the line i got a car seat addiction - so I really need to help myself get over it! Please help me decide what seats to keeps - i don't need 3 spares in the closet plus 2 in each of 3 cars! ok - here is what I have:

1 dragonfly MA
1 misty morning TF
2 shannon BLVDs
1 pink sky Frontier
1 cowmmo MA
1 Erin MA
1 casino TF coming in the mail

I need to keep definately 6 - 3 cars 2 for each car - i am guessing it is probably not neccessary to have a "spare" since i could take one out of any vehicle if i needed to.
I am thinking at least 1 MA should go. DD1 is FF in the TF with over an 1" left, the new Frontier with over an 1" left and the Erin MA with 1/2" left so I think that one should go and be replaced by the casino TF

DD2 is rF 1 BLVD, and 2 MAs - so my dilema with this is keep the 2nd BLVD and 1 MA, or keep the 2 MAs and sell the BLVD - ARG!!!! i don't know what to do - I want them all but DH said its ridiculous and he's probably right

dd1 i would do just what you thought get rid of her erin ma and use the casino tf...she will get more use out it. then dd2 its a choice of preference. you could get rid of 2 blvds and have her in ma's (justifyig keeping all those cool covers). or you could keep the 2 blvds and one ma and get rid of one ma with cover and one naked...so you can keep spare cover. or what you suggested. do you have a prefernce for the ma over the blvd or vice versa.
however i'm with the pp poster i think you should sell the dragonfly or erin !!! hint hint

I don't really have prefrance over the BLVD or MA as far as ease of use - I like both - DD2 likes both - I just don't know if I should give up the TSIP since none of my cars have side air bags just so I can keep 2 MAs so I have an excuse for all my covers The dragonfly cover I will be keeping since I have that and the sand dollar for cottony summer covers here in Georgia - my other covers are all plush and poor DD2 sweats in them in the summer (Mariposa, Cowmoo, bandana, Olivia and the Erin) - I think for DD1 the best idea is the the 2 TFs and the frontier... Thanks for the suggestion for DD1!

It does it looks a little silly with a black harness but DD2 is very comfortable in it - and i was so thankful for it when my cowmoo came - that thing is super plush! It will be great in a few months but way too hot now!

I don't think the black can look all that bad. I just bought a tan harness and left the black adjuster strap on mine and it doesn't look that bad in my signature pic.

And I agree, DS4 seems to be alot less fussy and alot less sweaty in the Sand Dollar than the hot, plush Cowmoo he was in previously.:thumbsup:


Now we just need to find Kate one so she won't feel left out.

Wow, that is alot of car seats! I've got foster grandkids and the youngest (7 1/2 months) is a smaller baby so he's rear facing in the BV that I bought this spring and the older one is 19 1/2 months and I found him a MA on clearance at Target last month thanks to all you gals at a great price. He's a bigger kid and loves his MA so much better than when I had him in the BV.

I know my youngest is wanting me to get 2 more car seats so we don't have to keep sharing the car seats when we have the boys with us and after seeing how they sit in them, I do think I would get a BV and MA.
