ok, i need help. there are so many options and i don't know enough :)
I have three across right now in an Acura MDX: Chicco KeyFit30 on the passenger side for my 2 month old, Britax Roundabout in the middle for my 21 month old (who is too tall for it now- he is 35" tall, 27 lbs.), Britax Decathlon on the drivers side for my 3 year old who is 39" tall, 32 lbs.

please help! you guys know so much. p.s. it needs to be something pretty narrow- what i have now just fits! and obviously i want whatever i get to last pretty long but to be the safest possible scenario...

When does the Decathalon expire?

I'm thinking you should buy your oldest a new seat. Nautilus maybe?

Then your new baby can have the Decathalon (or Roundabout) if it doesn't expire in the next few years. (I'm not familiar with the Decathalon, not sure of when it was manufactured.)

Then, I am thinking a Radian for the kiddo that is currently in the Roundabout.

If the Decathalon is a significant difference for the kiddo riding in the Roundabout, I would buy your oldest a Nautilus, switch the kiddo in the Roundabout to the Decathalon, and then keep the Roundabout for the baby if possible.

The Decathalon is still manufactured, it's the padded version of the MA if I remember aright. It only rear-faces to 33 lbs. though. It should fit very well next to a Radian facing the same direction-- since the Radian and Marathon puzzle so well when they are both facing the same direction.
