Combo Booster Shuffle: What would you do?

[rin2809]

The time is coming soon that our son's MyRide seat is going to expire and I am looking for some advice on the level of comfort of the seats we will be using to do the shuffle. None of them seem super comfy for sleeping and long rides, especially compared to the MyRide. How would you fit these seats/cars together?

We have 3 vehicles:
1999 Ford Windstar - Main traveling vehicle, no LATCH
2007 Kia Spectra - daily daycare pickup
2008 Saturn Vue - Grandma's car, seat stays installed outboard

We have 4 seats to choose from:
Graco Argos 80 - Currently in Kia, center with seatbelt
Harmony Defender - currently in Vue outboard
Safety 1st Guide 65 - Stored
Evenflo Maestro - Brand new, got for $30 on clearance

For the forseeable future, this is the only seat we need to fit in each car. Booster will be in center position in all cars except Grandma's.

Hi! Welcome to car-seat.org!

For the most part, I think you're really at a case of "whatever you prefer, wherever you prefer it." Does the Windstar have top tether anchors? That's the only thing that would give me pause in terms of which seats to consider. Other than that, I think whatever fits wherever would be just fine.

Does the Argos have a lockoff? If so, it might be an easier seat to put in with the seatbelt, lending to it being put in the van.

How old & heavy is your son?
