Lurker intro/question

smg2302 · March 2014

Hi all. I currently have 1 DD who is 10 months, and within the next two months DH and I plan to TTC #2. We feel mostly ready, but his big hesitation has had to do with his car/carseats. He drives a Toyota Corolla and DD"s seat is a Britax Roundabout. We love her seat, but the only place it really fits is in the center while it's RF. Can you fit an infant seat on the side while a car seat is in the center? He is convinced we need a larger car first, I think we can make do for a little while longer. I even suggested moving the Britax to my car (I have a mini van) and using it for the infant and switiching to a Diono in his car. He seems unimpressed. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I don't have an answer to your question but I want to refer you to someone who can help. Check out thecarseatlady.com or the car seat lady on Facebook. You can email her with your question. There's also another Facebook group I think it's called car seats for the littles. There are people who can help with your specific car and seats. Or contact a local car seat technician in your area. Good luck! You should be able to make it work with the right seats.

Thanks for the help. I think DH is finally convinced new car seats are the way to go, not a new car.

Definitely. Almost always cheaper to spend a couple hundred dollars on the right seats than have to get a new car!

I would go to Buy Buy Baby and Try new seats since the Dionos are so tall, but don't forget about their adjuster to grab more space!

Hey Shank! I guess I'm busted over here.... To tall? Wide?
