For those who have had two under two, the car seat exchange...

Hey JellisyHey Jellisy

I really need to get the second set of car seats to move DS out of the infant carrier.  DD is currently in a Britax Marathon and Boulevard depending on the car.  She's forward facing, weighs 31 lbs and will be 3 in March.  Do you think she is too young to move to a Britax Frontier type car seat or would you buy a second set of convertible car seats?  I would rather do the former - then she would have a cup holder and the seats would be last longer, but since we want to have more children, we'll always be in need of lots of car seats.

    DDs are 25 months apart.  We moved DD1 to the Britax Frontier this summer, a few months before she turned 3 (also bc DD2 needed to move out of the carrier).  I think as long your DD meets the weight/height requirements for the Frontier (or whatever your choose) it's fine.  There was no way that I was buying a second set of convertible car seats just for a short period of time.

    I thnk it's a good plan to go to the Frontier.  That's what we did around that same age with DD #1.

    That's exactly what we did -- moved DC 1 to a Frontier.
