Hi,
One of my nieces will be moving up shortly from FL. Currently, my other niece, 2 years, 7 months, rides rear facing in my moms 06 Scion XB in a My Ride. She is on the shorter side, and very light (definitely under 30lbs, not exactly sure of weight, maybe 28 at most). She's taller in the torso, outgrowing her 2T tops in length, obviously not because of weight. She's in the 3rd slot on the My Ride, not close to needing to move up any time soon. So, I expect she could make another year rear facing in that.
My other niece is moving up with my other sister next month. She will be 1 month when she moves. They'll be driving up from FL in my 06 equinox. The seat they have for her is an Evenflo Titan they got through some sort of program that gave them out at low cost. Hopefully the Titan fits my car and she will ride up in that. I can't imagine it's a good fit though as she is about 6.5 lbs and 19 inches. When she gets here, provided it fits, she will ride in the Titan in a Volvo S70. I've had the My Ride and I think a Triumph in the Volvo side by side, and room for someone beside them, so I would guess Titan+ My Ride RF would work.
I tested out a baby trend flex loc at BRU next to the My Ride, and that will fit. I had seen that the flex loc was narrow. I was thinking that the baby could go into the flex loc, 2 year old stays where she is, and when the baby out grows the bucket, she can have the My Ride, and we can get a harnessed booster at that time. We got the My Ride maybe when she was 6 months old or so. I'd have to check it. So, I then thought the My Ride would expire before the baby would outgrow it rear facing depending upon how big she is. Maybe it would be better to get a convertible? What's narrow and might fit side by side to leave the other seat open?
A Scenera is out. The 2 year old has one in my sister's car, and we took it once. My mom hated it. Anything suggested should be available in stores. If the Titan is not a good fit in the equinox, they will need to buy it in a store. They have BRU, Target, Walmart, all nearby. It should fit the Equinox, and the Scion XB (toaster style body) next to a My Ride. Fitting the XB together is most important. I can test anything suggested in the XB and tell them what to buy. Next to each other in the Equinox is of low likelihood, as I'd switch with my mom most times and not move seats.
Or, just get the flex loc?
