    Do you count bases? We have 1 KF30 with 2 bases, and 2 RA55s. Then MIL has a RA55 and my parents have an ETA65, although technically "we" don't own them.

    Default Just for fun....how many car seats have you/do you own?

    Grand total: 14 for two kids

    Had, and now have either sold or expired
    1. Graco Snugride 22 (sold after DD1, wasn't my favorite seat because of the back adjust, although the animal print was adorable!)
    2. Evenflo infant seat (this was a hand me down from DH's co worker, forget the name, but it wasn't recalled and DH loved it)
    3. Graco Safe Seat (wished I would have bought this for DD1 in the first place, but DH and I were like why do we need a 30lb infant seat! Best $10 I ever spent, bought it from a trusted friend)
    4. Britax Marathon 65
    5. Evenflo Triumph 5
    6. Britax Frontier 80 (sold when I bought the Graco high backs, but kept the other because we knew DD2 would eventually need it...but DD1 won't give up the other one!)

    Currently own:
    1. Britax Roundabout 55 (handing down to cousin who just had a baby....lots of life left in the seat
    2. Britax Boulevard 70
    3. Graco Turbo Booster
    4. Graco Turbo Booster
    5. Harmony Cruz
    6. Britax Frontier 90
    7. Britax Frontier 80
    8. Safegaurd Go foldable harness seat

    ...................and hoping I only need to buy one more probably a Britax Parkway or a Diono Cambria for one of my kids. I am really afraid that DD1 won't give up the Frontier 80 even as she gets closer to 9 she loves that thing and she is small for her age so I am all about keeping her boostered as long as she is comfortable and doesn't feel the need to be booster free, but if DD2 needs the Frontier 80 (harnessed due to outgrowing the BLVD 70) in the next year DD1 is going to beg me for something other than the TB full time in Dh's car, but I am secretly hoping she'll be okay with the Cruz full time by then so I'll be able to save $70-$100.

    Britax Roundabout Cowmoo (pre-LATCH)
    Britax Marathon (Ashley Floral)
    Britax Parkway (original)
    that big seat that is discontinued, with metal frame, can't recall the name from about eight years ago e.t.a Safeguard! that's the name of it.
    Radian (pre-Diono)
    *Britax Frontier (original)
    Graco Turbobooster
    Harmony Literider backless booster
    Coccoro (best seat for air travel)
    *Radian XTSL (just prior to Diono)

    Bubble Bum booster
    Harmony Folding Travel Booster (couldn't pass up the super deal)

    I did not count bases in my count, but I did count seats for GPs or other car givers that my family paid for.

    Default Just for fun....how many car seats have you/do you own?

    For 5 kids, I currently own:

    1 Graco LBB

    1 Graco HBB

    1 Britax Parkway

    1 Britax Marathon

    1 Britax Boulevard

    3 Radians

    1 Chicco Keyfit

    I cut the belts of two expired carseat this year. Also I bartered two car seats to my child photographer for a free photo shoot. I might have another LBB hanging around. In general, I only like keeping the car seats I need. The infant seat is the only one I don't actively use now.

    ETA 1 bubblebum and two ride safer vests from travels.
