I have been contemplating a new car seat and need serious help. My son is 31 months old (35 lbs, 39") currently in a Roundabout. Actually, I have 2 Rounabouts (one in a 2004 Honda Pilot and another in 2000 Honda Accord).
The new carseat would be primarily used in the Pilot. So, I would prefer something that will be easy to reinstall (which will happen occasionally - maybe once a month). Ultimately, in a couple of years (when ds is around 4 1/2-5) I plan to get a booster seat (like the Turbobooster or Parkway) for the Accord for occasional use. (Hopefully, he will be mature enough by then so I don't have worry.)
I thought I had my mind made up with purchasing the Marathon in case we plan on having another child in a year or so. Now, I'm uncertain and don't know if I should buy the Husky instead since it has higher height/weight limits. The downsides to the Husky is the size and it's not FAA approved (IF we plan on traveling - I guess it's not a necessity, but it would be nice). Help!!!
How long do you think it will be before he outgrows his current seat? I'm hoping once spring/summer comes and he doesn't have to wear a bulky coat, will buy me some time so I don't feel so rushed.
