Car seat addiction.

[aym4Him]

I bought 2 seats tonight .

Found the Scenera 1st- $24. On the way back home, found a Maestro for $43. Would have only bought the Maestro had I seen it first, though.

That makes 3 seats in one week. DH has made fun of me all night long.

I think I'm going to return the Scenera now that we have a Maestro (will be for the in-law's car/travel seat). I like that DS can still ride RF for a bit in the Scenera but I think he'd be more comfy in the Maestro and we'd get more use out of it.

Just thought I'd share. DH says I'm no better than those of you with 10 or more seats. LOL. The funny thing is, the cashier was saying the prices out loud as she scanned our items. When she scanned the Maestro, she said, "$17.." We were like and were about to go to the back and grab the other one that was on clearance! She then realized she scanned the wrong bar code (it beeped but didn't register) and the $17 was actually for the pair of jeans she'd just rung up! Man, what a deal THAT would have been!

Anyone ease up on their addiction in recent years?

At one point I had like 9 seats (for two kids in seats at the time) and HAD to try most of the seats out there. Now I have seats for each car (5), two travel seats, a radian for 3-across, and two NBB.

Wait, that's 10... okay, the NBB's don't count

Maybe it just feels like I haven't been buying them

It's a good addiction to have.....

I have many more seats that kids. Last total was about 15..... Most are demo seats that will expire or crashed. ( I write on them so I don't get them confused).

I have. Right now I have 6 seats for 3 kids (a set for each vehicle). I would have loved to buy up some of those awesome deals on wayfair but I just don't have that kind of disposable income. I can't justify buying them unless they're really needed. Right now, our OS Parkway is out of commission And it's what we use in my moms car but I just can't pull the trigger on a new one. Instead, we just take the Vivo from car to car.

I dunno how many I have now. I have a huge bedroom closet, which houses the seats I keep on hand for giveaway purposes... Usually two Sceneras, Turbos, and a few Literiders. Got a Maestro yesterday to add to the collection. I don't count those in "my" seats.

When I had the boys, I think I was at around 15 seats. They were either purchased for great deals and/or out of necessity, for the lowest price I could find. I needed totally different setups for different configurations.

I am down to "just" seven seats. iIn my car are the two in use, my spare backless and one that's about to expire. I have one spare in the spare bedroom, and two ib the dining room. One of those I'm keeping for when/if M goes ff, the other two I'd like to sell. Oh and there's an extra base in the bathroom (the closet is off the bathroom and I pulled it out without putting it back.)

Pre-cso I had a SR22 base, Evenflo Express, Scenera, Cosco Ventura (?) and three or four high rises...

One of these days I'll list out every seat I've ever owned...

This is funny!

When I started on here we had classic MA's in my vehicle, dh's, and my mom's. We had to drive an hour and a half to get one. Not sold any closer than that. I don't know where I came across information on them before that to look for them. Dh's parents bought an evenflo triumph for their vehicle.

Since then...
1 Britax Frontier
3 GN's
3 Turbobooster's (highback)
1 Safety 1st Air Booster
1 SK Monterey
1 Harmony Literider
3 SR 22's with front adjust
2 MR
2 SK RN XTSL
2 More classic MA CS

Whew...
