Need new carseat :)

So I am in need of a new carseat for our second car which is typical our main car. 34 lb, 28 month old, roughly 35 inches tall with a 12.5-13 inch measurement when sitting floor to shoulder. The seat needs to fit in a 2010 chevy impala with 2 boosters which are currently Graco LBB. It has fixed headrests in the rear on all 3 spots which is our biggest problem when the seat is forward facing. Currently using a MyRide and the fit just isn't ideal in the car. Budget is firmly around $150.

For now I would turn your Myride RF and install it in the middle. It's safer and will fit. I would keep her RF in it until her 3rd bday then get a Evenflo Maestro or Britax Frontier. The Frontier fits nicely in the Impala. You will need narrower boosters when you switch. Using the Myride RF for now will give you time to save up. ;)

How old are your other children?

Still need a recommendation for a 2nd seat. Gave my scenera away to someone who desperately needed it. Other car is a 2001 Chrysler 300m.

My other kids are 9 1/2 and 7.

For the second car get an Evenflo Maestro. The Adele pattern is $62.99 on sale at Amazon right now.

I would definitely turn the little one RF in the main vehicle though. :)

When you get a different seat for your Impala try Cosco Topsides for your boosters;as long as your older 2 are under 100#s). They are quite narrow and fit tight spaces well.

Little Miss is officially rfing again :) Not sure how she will respond, and my husband is pretty annoyed about it, and all he can talk about is she is gonna get carsick and her legs won't fit. Don't really care about his opinion on it though, I'm the one that has done the research and know I prefer her rfing anyway. IT fits awesome center in the impala, and for the very first time I have used latch :)

You need to update your siggy. ;)

That is awesome that you turned her back RF! She is so much safer now. :D
