I need your help, as my brain is overloaded with the options!
I have a 5 month old who HATES his infant carrier on trips over 5 minutes. So I need to move him to a convertible. I'll list the seats we own, kids and then give me any and all suggestions as to how to do this. I'm willing to buy new seats/boosters, but have no clue as to which seats will last us, be economical and functional! Ryan sits well in booster in town, but we make 35-90 mile trips at least once a week, we haven't yet let him sit in a booster for those.
I like the marathons, but also really like the true fit, but open to any and all suggestions on the best arrangements. We have 2 vans and like to have seats in each of them for each child.
KIDS
Ry--age 6 this month, 42 pounds and 42 inches--not sure of torso height, but he still fit in our old evenflo advance, with room to spare, but was over the 40 lb mark
Erin--age 3.5, 35 pounds, 39 inches
Ethan--age 5 months
SEATS
2 Marathons (Ryan in one, Erin in one), one expires 2009, other 2011
2 Evenflo Triumph Advances (40 pound limit), both expire 2009 (hate this seat!)
1 Radian 65--2014 expiration (would consider selling, as its a pain to install in our odyssey)
1 Vivo Lite booster
Okay, if you can figure this out for me, I'd be grateful, so I can sleep at night!
