We currently have a roundabout for our 23 lb. 1.5 year old and a Comet for our 37 lb 3.75 year old in one car.
The other car has a Super Elite for the 3.75-year-old.
We're going to be getting a new car in a few months that does not have rear curtain air bags, but will have seating for both - Hooray.
My question is:
Have the Roundabout and Super Elite been tested for side impact? Is there any quantifiable difference between the SE and the Wizard for side impact?
I believe (and correct me if i'm wrong) that the smart thing to do is replace the Comet with a Wizard. That would keep him in a 5-point harness. Simply for financial reasons, I'd prefer to keep the RA and the SE for our second car (both would be on outboard positions), but if there's good reason to buy 2 more Wizards, we'll do our best to afford them (gulp).
What do you all think?
