DS will be 2 on 2/27/14. He is about 36” tall and weighs 31 pounds. He is RF center position in a Britax Boulevard 70CS in my 2000 Chevy Impala (no LATCH in the bench, has top tethers) and FF center position in Eddie Bauer Enspira in DH’s 2001 Buick Regal (has LATCH). We are expecting a baby in August. I remember the car seat tech telling me that she would only install the Britax where it is since the seat had lock-offs for RF and also something to do with the way the seatbelts retracted (I’m not exactly sure what she said).We also have an Evenflo Discovery infant seat we thought we might use for the baby outboard behind the driver’s seat in the Impala. I’ve been looking at DS’s head and it is getting close to the top (maybe about an inch away) of the Britax’s shell so am thinking about making it FF soon as the instructions say that the top of the child’s head should be no closer than an inch from the top of the shell. It is starting to become difficult to get DS’s arms in and out from the Britax straps as it is becoming a tight fit. We also prefer USA made seats that we can use for a long time. So, my questions:
-Since the Britax does not have lock-offs for FF will I not be able to use it FF in the Impala?
-If I can’t use the Britax FF in the Impala I think maybe we could use that for the baby in the Regal. Would that puzzle well with the Eddie Bauer? Any suggestions for what would work well then in the Impala for DS with the Discovery beside it?
-If the Discovery for some reason is out what do you think would work well (convertible or all-in-one) outboard RF with the Britax FF in the center of the Impala?
-Then if the Britax and Discovery are out for the Impala any recs for two seats that puzzle well in the Impala?
-Should I just plan on passing down the Britax anyway since the straps are starting to get tight?
My head is spinning and yours might be as well after reading this. Thanks for reading and any suggestions!
