I am so so so torn.
DS turns 7 in Sept. 48lbs, 48 inches, string bean. Very mature, not wiggly, but still, a 6 year old boy. He is going to max out his nautilus elite any day now. I'm not ready to booster him. Here's the issue-
We have 3 vehicles to contend with.
My car- 2013 Prius, pretty much his primary vehicle. Currently in a nautilus elite, I'd like to keep him harnessed a bit longer.
Mom's car- 2013 Mazda CX-5- Secondary car during the summer (she's taking care of DS) currently in a nautilus. I'd REALLY prefer he be harnessed here because my mom is…. a little bit spacey, and won't be OCD about checking his body position like I would be. She's prone to car accidents too. She's only watching him until August though..
DH's car- 2007 Tundra- rides here 1-2x/week. Not sure how much DH will check his body position, but he's driving DS primarily on an undivided highway to my mom's house. Currently riding in a SafeGuard Child Seat. Still has 1 or 2 clicks left on the harness.
My original plan was to get a FR90 for my car (and like NOW because they're on sale). I'm talking my mom into getting one because of the click tight. My only issue is the actual amount of time DS will be able to use the FR90 in both our cars. By the time DS needs to be FT boostered in everyone else's car, I want him to be VERY well booster trained.
I know I'm way over thinking this, I'm just not ready to booster him yet. Is it crazy to get 2 FR90s for an almost 7yo?
