Carseat gurus, help please?

We are swimming in carseats around here.  I was dumb and tried to save money, but should have gone with a Britax Marathon.  Here's what we have:

  • Chicco infant carseat, which is being used by E
  • Britax Roundabout, sitting in the garage (up to 40lbs, RFing to 35)
  • Evenflo Triumph, in MH's car (up to 35lbs I think)
  • Graco Nautilus, in my car, (FF only, up to 100lbs.)

We need something to replace the Triumph, because my older son is about to outgrow it.  He outgrew the RA around 2 because of height.  I inquired at our kids consignment store and was told I'd get about $40 for it if I were to sell the RA. 

I want my younger son to RF as long as possible.

 Any thoughts on what we should do?  I'm looking for suggestions as to what we should get for my 3 year old for my husband's car, but also something to use for my 3 month old when he is older too.

 

Thanks!

Re: Carseat gurus, help please?

  • I am getting DS a Sunshine Kids when he outgrows our Evenflo and Roungabout RF. I like that it is not so honking big and not up so high, we have it for DD.  Both should be fine until at least 6 or 7.
  • I'd get a 2nd Nautilus for your husband's car, and keep the Roundabout and Triumph for DS2.  Then when younger DS outgrows those, look into a new seat for him...so much changes in carseat technology in just a year or two.
