So I have a 38 inch, 32 lb 2 1/2 year old... and it recently came to my attention that most of my carseats (except for 1) are out of date and need to be replaced. We're talking old here, DOM in 98 and 99. These are our back up carseats btw, for dads and grandparents cars. Her main is up to 40 lbs so I have a little time on that one left (and it's only 2 years old). My question is, how would one go about ERF a child this tall. I replaced one of the seats with a Marathon, but I can tell just from putting the seat in her legs are going to be all folded up against the back seat. She routinely wears a 3-4T in pants btw. So thats my problem. I love the idea of putting her back rear facing for a while longer, especially after reading and researching on this site. But Im not sure how to make it work, or if it's even really possible at all.
I also have a 53 inch tall, 75lb 9 year old DD. She's *close* to fitting properly in a regular seat with a regular seat belt, but Im not happy with *close*. Close just doesnt cut it.
So Im revamping my kids safety style. Gimme some advice, hints and suggestions and help me overhaul the way we go about this!
Thanks!

PS, I have a Chevy Avalanche, seat space really isnt an issue.
