I've gotten good advice from here before, so I'm back to try again.
I have a 9 month old DD currently in a KF. She's only just over 16lbs right now and overall on the petite side. I know she will fit in the KF for a while yet, but I promised to send it up to PA to my aunt because she has 2 pregnant teenage daughters and was talking about buying seats on craigslist or at garage sales. I figure if I give her mine then I know that's at least one non-expired, never crashed seat. It's still good until 9/13. The babies aren't due until the beginning of July, so I've got some time but I know BRU has some good deals on seats right now so I thought it might be a good time to look.
The KF is currently located on the driver's side next to a FF radian for my 4 year old DS. DS still has another harness spot to go in the radian. I'd really like to keep DD on the side and DS in the middle because I can then fold the seat on the passenger side or put in another seat for carpool without using the back. Car is a 2011 Ford Flex with a 60/40 bench seat. So, what are my options? I'm assuming it's better to replace the KF. I know I could give the radian to DD and get a new seat for DS, but the radian fits really well FF in that center spot and I'm nowhere close to being ready to move him to a booster. So I guess I'm looking for a convertible that will puzzle well with a FF radian unless you have a better suggestion. I'm planning to RF DD until at least 3. Thanks in advance!
