DS1 is 6 and we JUST moved his FR (old style) to booster mode as he outgrew the straps. He is in a Parkway SGL booster in the second car. I am getting a turbobooster because the parkway doesnt seem to fit well in the Subaru (and then I'd move the Parkway to the minivan and delete the Frontier.

DS2 is 4 and in a Radian 65 in the subaru and the newer model Frontier (5 point) in the minivan.

DD is almost 6 and still in her Marathon. It will expire in a few months and her main seat will be a (harnessed) Nautilus.

DD1 is 6.5 yo and we just this past weekend moved her Frontier, in my Altima, and Nautilus, in DH Traverse, to booster mode. She could have riden in booster mode earlier, but my rule is we wouldn't move to booster until she could buckle the seatbelt herself. No way was I going to go back to having to buckle her.

DD2 is 4 and in a Frontier with harness in both cars.

DS2 (5 1/2) and DS1 (8) both ride in Britax Parkways. DS2 outgrew his Marathon more than 6 months ago--he's a very big boy, about the same size as some of our 8-year-old friends.
