Hi all,
Our third baby will arrive late summer and I am still trying to figure out what to do as far as car seats.
We have a Volvo wagon and decided to keep it instead of getting a minivan or an SUV. Right now, we have our 4 year old in the Decathlon and our 22 month old in the Roundabout still RF. I will have all three kids in the back seat, of course, and so far I am thinking of the following scenarios:
1. Move our 22 month old to the Decathlon and get a Ridesafer vest for our 4 year old. Baby will go in the Roundabout. My question is, will the Ridesafer vest be okay for our 4 year old, as his only restraint, that is? Or should I go ahead and get a "real" car seat for him?
2. Our Roundabout was manufactured in 2002 so we only have about another year or so of use. Should I just forget about using it for the baby and go ahead and purchase another convertible now?
I know that soon I will have to replace the Roundabout, but my main concern is about the Ridesafer vest option for my 4 year old. Thanks in advance for your replies.
