I'm going to need a new seat in the next couple of months and thought I knew what I wanted, but am now second-guessing. Here's where we are now:
DS is 5.5, 35 lbs, 42" riding in a True Fit Premier in my car and harnessed in a Nautilus in DH's truck.
DD is 11 months, 17.5 lbs, 28" riding in a Snugride that expires in December of this year.
My plan was to get another Nautilus for DS and move DD to the TFP where she can RF until it expires in 11/16. We have an Evenflo Tribute that we can use for her in the truck, but I really hate that seat and wouldn't be opposed to getting something different even though it won't be used as much.
I feel like DS should stay harnessed a while longer because he's so small, but I don't know at what point I should move him to a booster. We haven't tried letting him use the Nautilus as a booster yet - I think he'll ride well but I don't know about the fit. He has plenty of room in the TFP, so I could just keep him there until he's ready for a booster and get a new seat for DD now. However, he is aware that most of his friends are in boosters and has asked when he gets one too.
What do you think? Thanks for your help!
