I am changing jobs in a few weeks and DD (5 in march, 43 in, 14.5in torso, 37ish lbs) is changing schools. Since September I have been taking her to school, my car ist he most reliable, and she has a Regent in there and LOVES IT. With my job change, DH will be taking her to a friend's who lives close to the school, and the friend will be driving DD to school. Currently DD is in an Evenflo Chase in DH's car which she hates, and the harness seems tight...even with just a thin shirt on. She used to only ride with him 1x/week so I had gotten a HB TB for her to use in his car after she turned 5. But now that she'll be riding with him 5x/week, 20 min trips each way, plus with another mom, I was thinking of giving the TB to the other mom and getting a new seat for DH's car...the Regent installs so well in my car with LATCH and I don't want to be moving it back and forth in the winter. So I need a new seat for DH's car. I was thinking about maybe a Nautilus if I could find one...or would you just get another TB for DH's car? I don't know how DD will do in a booster full-time. Also, I guess I should also add, that we probably will have to buy a new seat for DD"s bio mom (I am her stepmom, but DH and I have her all but 4 days a month)...she is in a Cosco high-back harnessed seat there that will be a crappy booster, and her mom won't buy her a new seat. So...here is my main quandry: should I get 2 new boosters, one for DH's car, one for bio mom's, use our TB to carpool, and Regent in my car...or spring for a nautilus for DH, and get a new TB for bio mom's? I'd ideally like what is cost-effective...or if anyone has other suggestions, I am open! Thank you SO MUCH...I am so confused right now.
