DS#2 is about to be too tall for his Roundabout, which DD will be needing soon anyway. DS#2 is 27 months old & appx. 33 lbs & 37 in, with much of his height in his torso. We have a Husky for DS#1, and we've been very happy with it. I drive a 2005 Honda Odyssey, so with the middle & back rows, I can accommodate 3 seats in various ways.

As much as I like the Husky/Regent, I'm wondering if the new Go seat is a good alternative for us. I figure DS#2 can use it harnessed till 60 lbs, then we'll put him into the Husky we already have, and put DS#1 into the Go as a booster. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? Or should I just get a Regent for DS#2 and deal with boosters later on?

What would you do? Decisions, decisions! :)

I'd go with the Regent. Your older son will be able to be in the Husky for a long time to come, and once he is out, your daughter will be needing it!
Backless boosters are cheap, and that's all the Go is as a booster anyway. You can get that for fifteen bucks on sale.

Yeah, Regent or Safeguard seat, but not the Go, IMO...it's not the most comfortable for every day for a younger kid. We also love our Sunshine Kids Radian seat in our Odyssey, my 6.5 yo uses it with room to grow and says it's comfortable.

Thanks for the input! I hadn't really considered the Radian, but that might be a good choice for us too. Will check it out.
