I know you probably don't care, but I'm excited to get my 9 year old out of a lap belt so I'm sharing.
I drive a '99 suburban and this is my current set up.
driver - 2 year old dd in ff marathon - expires Aug 13th
center - 11 month old ds in rf keyfit - has about 1" of torso height left
fold down - 11 year old ds
3rd row
driver - 7 year old ds in turbo booster
center, lap belt only - 9 year old ds
passenger - 4 year old dd in parkway booster
So here is my plan for now. Instead of replacing both babies' seats now and getting Britax like we have now, we'll get a Radian for the 3rd row.
My now 4 year old will move to the radian and her 9 year old brother can have the passenger side seat she's in now. I'll see whether or not he needs a booster.
Come August 13th, we'll move the 2 year old to the 3rd row in the Radian and the 4 year old (will be 5 and 2 months then) back to her booster behind the driver.
We'll replace the baby's seat when he outgrows it. If he outgrows it before the Britax sale in Sept, he can move to the marathon, and we'll just make the other switch earlier.
So I've solved the lap belt problem that's been bugging me since the baby was born and didn't have to buy more than 1 seat at a time to do it.
Come on, be excited with me.
Now go check my other thread and tell me which Radian to get.
