I need some seat suggestions for my 5 y/o (6 y/o on May)stepson(to be). Here is the situation:
My fiance and I live with his mom (stepsons grandma) at the time being. She picks him up every saturday to come over and she has an Apex65 in her Jeep. That is the only day of the week he is at our house, unless there is a rare cirsumstance that he comes over another day, but the rarely happens...
Fiance and I are moving about 30-45 mins away to our own house soon (if we get the house we want), so I am probably going to need to buy a seat for stepson. The thing is I'm not sure when he will actually use it, bc I have no idea what the vistation situation will be. Grandma will still get him on Saturdays I know for sure and being that we wont exactly live really close he probably won't be at our house and if he is she will bring him. I guess when the time comes my fiance will have to decide when he is going to visit. My thoughts is it will not be that freq. Esp bc pretty soon fiance is going to be working weekends only.
Okay so all that said, which was probably more wordy than it needed to be...
Fiance and I are going to need to have a seat for him available.
He weighs like 41-42lbs... well that was a couple months ago...I doubt he has gained weight bc he doesn't eat much, I'm guessing he may even loose a little when summer comes. I'm not really sure how tall he is, I did know but I forget and like I said he's not with us much so I always forget to get measurements. he is short though, his 4 y/o sister is as tall as him. Most 5 y/o tower over him. He fits nicely in his Apex65, has some growing room in the harness, prob an inch or so maybe more. Chances are he's not having a growth spurt soon bc his dad is short. With his mom and other grandma he rides in a booster(LBB i think) or well nothing. They aren't too carseat savy.
I would prefer to keep him in a harness bc he is 1. small for his age (smalll frame) 2. he is a car sleeper 3. he does not sit still AT ALL. Although I'm sure he could learn to sit still if someone enforced it. I don't wanna shell out a bunch of money either. I would love a frontier, but I'm not spending that much $ for a seat thats rarely used.
I have a 20 month old son that ERF in 2 RNXTSL and a Classic MA. I have also considered getting him another seat and using one of his RN for stepson. I have been itching to buy my son a CCO. He is pretty small for his age so would prob fit forever. He is in the 3rd harness slot on his RN and 2nd on his MA. Weighs 23-24lbs.
I don't really know what I want to do. I have a couple months to decide. I should probably just call it a day and buy him a turbobooster, but I just want to get some other opinions.
