Some people broke into our house last night and stole my purse and laptop, then used the keys from my purse to steal both our vehicles.
Obviously we are shaken up and there is a lot to deal with. I’m really overwhelmed and, being a car seat tech, I am now overwhelmed with how we are going to deal with car seats for the kids. I had been thinking we wouldn’t be buying anything new for awhile and so I haven’t been following the recommendations lately....and all our local clinics have been cancelled due to Covid so im not seeing what new stuff is out there.
Anyway, here are the kids’ stats....any recommendations for something that would fit well in whatever rental car we have to use?(The cars that were stolen were a 2015 Subaru Outback and 2019 Honda Odyssey, but I don’t know whether we will ever see them again...)
7 year old: 43 lbs 45” Had been in a Graco SlimFit and Chicco MyFit — both in HBB mode
5 year old: 35 lbs 38” Had been harness FF in an Immi Go and a Graco Milestone
I suppose it doesn’t make sense to buy any more convertible seats. While I love the IMMI Go, my 5 year old is not such a big fan....and it is hard to get that seat on short notice. I am not a huge fan of the MyFit because of the weight.....I am unfamiliar with what the favorite dedicated boosters are. I need something that my 7 year old can buckle/unbuckle herself.
Any advice?
