My car: 2003 Honda Pilot, with occasional rides in 1996 Nissan Altima and 2007 Nissan Sentra.
My current seats: 3 MAs, 1 R65. One MA will expire in March 2009. I have access to an unused Graco SnugRide.
My kids: 23 mo DS, ~28 lbs, ~34 inches tall, baby due 12/30. At birth, DS was 8 lb 3 oz, 21.5 inches long, all torso. He fit in the MA from birth.
I have been obsessing over which seat, if any to buy since before I got pregnant! I tend to over-research things and drive everyone else around me crazy while I do it. I've spent the last few days reading about rf tethering vs. non-tethered seats vs. the anti-rebound foot or bar. I haven't come to a firm stand-point.
Knowing I will still have 3 perfectly good seats when the one MA expires, should I get a TrueFit or other seat for baby? I prefer to get the most bang for my buck (therefore avoiding infant only seats if I can) and was hoping to not buy a new seat until someone outgrows the ones we have or one expires. If I get the TF, it would go in the outboard position in the second row since that's the seat position with the least room.
Should I wait until the ARF TF comes out or have it ready and installed when baby comes? At this point in time, we have the MAs installed and the Graco bucket will be either delivered to us at the hospital or also installed and waiting.
