Hey, @Fredalina I was wondering if you could help me. My FIL and Mom both dislike their current seats. We are planning on switching up our car seats in a few months when the Diono seats come out. Rosie will be turning 4 in August. I know we will not be putting her into a booster at 4. She's not mature enough for it and she's 6-7lbs short of 40lbs. We were planning on getting 2 Evenflo SecureKid 400 seats for my Mom and my FIL. However, since my Mom doesn't take them too often and my FIL has a small car I was looking at one of those travel vests. Could you enlighten me on them?

Also, Rosie at her last appt was 32lbs and 37 inches tall. She's probably grown a bit since then, but not much. Thank you!

Well, this would be for the grandparents. My Mom takes the kids maybe once every few months and my FIL takes them once or twice a month. Would you do it in that situation? I would of course teach them how to use it. It just seems like a simpler solution to have a vest than buy 2 seats.

The grandparents are all in their 40's/50's. So still pretty agile. I'm sure with an education course I could get them to use it properly. I know my mom would. She knows I'd go all banana sammich on her if she didn't. Thank you! I'll talk with SO. We're still another few months before switching things around.

Also, I'm still kind of pissed at your IL's for ya. That was crappy of them to do that. Luckily Char is safe!

Yeah, I guess I should of just said that they are still pretty nimble in their fingers and have good hand strength.
