I'm hoping you can help me choose our next carseat purchase for my son.
He's 2 1/2 years old... weighs 27.5 lbs... 33" tall.
We drive a 96 Honda Odyssey and a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero (neither have LATCH) ... Mimi (my mom) drives a 2006 Buick Lucerne and we visit her often. We fly ALOT and ALWAYS use our carseat on the plane.
We are planning on trying for Baby #2 in the very near future. Currently we own a Combi infant carrier seat (can't remember which model) and a Britax Roundabout. We have an older model Roundabout as well, but it is past it's "use by date" and needs to be replaced.
I'm really looking for a carseat which will take my son through the rest of his carseat days if possible.
From what I can tell, the Recaro Signo or Como and the Radian 65/80 are really my only choices. The Britax carseats get SO enormous after the Roundabout, right? Airline travel is a big thing for us, and I don't want to buy a carseat I'll regret having EVERY TIME I fly.
So... help me out... which carseat should I buy and why? PLEASE!!! I need to purchase a new one ASAP, as my son has figured out how to undo the old buckle style on his old Roundabout.
