I am due with our second child in January, and we just replaced our 2008 Honda Element (sniff) with a 2008 Odyssey (what do all those buttons do?!).
My 2.5 yo daughter (27 lbs) is currently RF in a Britax Advocate. I am hoping to put #2 in the plus one seat using a Chicco Keyfit base plus infant seat. I think I gathered from this thread that that may work. I want to be able to sit on the outboard captains chair to nurse, then plop baby into the bucket.
Question #1: Will those two seats fit like that? Britax Marathon RF on the Captains (outboard) chair, Chicco Keyfit infant on the plus one.
Planning ahead for the convertible seat #2. My 2.5 yo will stay RF as long as possible, and so I will eventually need two RF convertibles. We also drive grandma around a lot, and it would be much easier for her to sit in the 2nd row. I would like to have two RF convertibles in the 2nd row side by side, with an empty captains chair for grandma.
Question #2: What was the final word on the Radian in the plus one? I saw there was some question about how much was contact the car seat actually had with the plus one, and whether that was a safety issue. Any resolution?
Question #3: What (highly rated) convertibles will sit side by side, one on the plus one, another on the captains chair? Any brand will do! Highest height/weight limit possible since my older child will likely be around 3.5 yo by the time we have two RF convertibles.
Question #4: Is it just better to remove plus one, slide captains chair over, and have grandma sit in the back? Comfort wise?
Thanks!
