I have a car seat dillema. Expecting baby #3 in Oct. I have a 09 Camry. Both my kids are still in 5 point harnesed seats, a Britax Frontier (8yr and 55lbs) and a Graco Nautalis (6yr and 40lbs). I am really hoping that I can keep my 8 year old 5 point harnessed until she grows out of that seat, which could be a year from now. But when trying to fit in a 3rd seat that becomes impossible.
I bought a Radian and tried it out, but can't get a good fit RF. That would be for the baby. The seat is so damn heavy and super complicated, I am pretty certain I am taking it back to the store. I feel like my only option is to put the baby in the narrowest infant carrier I can find, and try to find a nother narrow seat for my 6 yr old. Maybe something without cupholders.
Best case scenario, I can keep the 8 yr old in the frontier, get a narrow seat for 6 yer old and baby and they will puzzle together wonderfully.
Getting a minivan is not an option right now. I would be upside down with payments and would never be able to afford one unless it was a lot older. My Camry seat is actually fairly wide its 53 inches in length so I am hopeful that I will be able to make something work.
Any suggestions?
