    Default Car Seat Roll Call!

    We haven't done this in a while.

    DD1 is in a pair of Graco high back turbo boosters for the time being. When we go on our next road trip she go back in the Frontier 80 (if we can get a good fit in our Passat) and she'll stay in that until we need to move the seat for some reason or DD2 outgrows the RA55 (and then DD2 will go in that harnessed).

    The Harmony Cruz is our spare booster.

    DD2 is in a Britax RA55, Britax BLVD70, and uses a Safegaurd Go occasionally for air travel.

    I would love to get rid of both of the Turbos in favor of something more comfortable as DD1 loves the comfort of the Frontier, but I really can't justify the cost now, and the Turbos for most of our driving needs work just fine.

    Two Turboboosters here. DS went backless a few weeks ago. DD just went into the Turbo from her Marathon a few months ago.

    ETA:
    DS: 9 years old, ~55 lbs, ~ 52"
    DD: 5.5 years old, ~42 lbs., ~43"

    In my car:
    DD1 in a LB Graco Turbobooster
    DD2 in a HB Graco Turbobooster
    DS in a Radian XT
    DD3 in a RF Britax Boulevard
    DD4 in a Chicco Keyfit 22 (with plenty of room on both ends)

    In Dh's car:
    DD1's and DD4's seats transfer as needed.
    DD2 in a Britax Parkway SGL
    DS in DD2's old Radian XT
    DD3 in a Britax Marathon

    I do not like the HB Turbobooster. It always looks like it's tipping or something. I need a better booster for her. She finally hit 40ish lbs at her 6th birthday and I let her switch. I'm not thrilled, but I had mutiny on my hands already last summer. I stalled her until her birthday and then she was done.

    DS1 (age 6 and about 52 lbs):
    * Primary car: harnessed in a Frontier 85.
    * Secondary car: Radian 65 (harnessed obviously)
    * My mom's car: harnessed in a Graco Nautilus
    * Friend's of the Family who pick him up from camp a couple times a week: a very cheap Harmony LBB. It's about a 2 mile trip.

    I expect that in the coming year I will buy two new HBBs for each of our cars for DS1. I have no interest in switching the Frontier to booster mode considering all the problems people seem to have converting it, so I will likely just keep it in harnessed mode until DS2 needs it.

    DS2 (nearly 18 months and about 27 lbs):
    * Primary car: RF in a Boulevard 70
    * Secondary car: RF in a Roundabout 55

    DS1, age 9:
    backless Amp in my car
    Recaro Probooster in DH's car

    DD, age 7:
    Parkway highback in my car
    either the Probooster or Radian in DH's car

    DS2, age 5:
    harnessed Frontier in my car
    Radian in DH's car

    I need to change things. DD is uncomfortable in the Radian and just about too tall. I need to booster train DS2 so that I can get rid of the Radian and have a backless and highback in DH's car.
