Our backup car seat is an evenflo that goes up to 40 lbs ffing. Our 3.5 year old got measured and I think we will need a new one soon. Ideas?
We keep it in husband's dodge caliber in case he needs to drive one kid alone, and have moved it to our Honda odyssey when a carseat needs cleaning. We are planning on replacing the Caliber with a small sedan in the next year or so- we bought it before we had kids and realized how much room rfing car seats need!
We have 3 kids in carseats - 2 rfing 9 mo infants and 1 ffing almost 40" 3.5 year old - she is 34 lbs. Ideally it'll be a quick install, so we can flip it ffing or rfing, and easy to move sizes (no rethreading harness to adjust.)
I'm thinking we could move the 3.5 year old to a new harness to booster (recaro prosport or something like that) and move her britax advocate cs to the backup seat - it doesn't expire for another 3 years, at which time the little ones will be over 4 and we could move to a booster backup. I'm open to other suggestions. Price isn't the end all factor, but I'm not interested in buying a Foonf-priced seat that gets used less than an hour a week.
Fwiw - the 3.5 year old has shown no interest in buckling herself in, so I don't anticipate her being in a HBB on her 4th birthday, but more staying in a harness style.
Thanks!
