So - DS has three sceneras that he has available for rides in Grandmas and Grandpa's cars.
DC#2 is on the way.
DS is roughly 28 lbs today. He will be 2 yrs old when new baby is born. He is rear-facing today. Our plans are to rear-face to a minimum of 2 years and will decide at the time if we will do it to the 33lb limits of our seats, if he is not there yet (we clearly understand safety benefits).
I have six months before I need to do anything, but would like to think through the best scenarios and get the best deals .
Should I:
If I've ignored another good solution, let me know.
He rides for the longest distances with my mom. My ILs are miserable with car seats and keep installing and uninstalling the scenera. I think for space reasons. A whole 'nother thread could be had on this topic. They do transport DS two-three times per week, but literally from their next door neighbor's driveway to their own - maybe covering 50 ft of road - at most - on a 25 mile per hour street.

Should I:
- Buy a new scenera for each car for new baby?
- Buy a seat with a longer-life than the Scenera (true-fit, avenue) for DS and put baby in the Sceneras?
- Buy three "Nautli" for grandparent's cars and suck it up that he'll be forward facing, but in a long-lasting seat?
- Hope and pray for some killer deals on the SS1 bases and postpone the decision until DC#2 outgrows the infant seat?
