I really appreciate any advice that you have... I'm getting a little nuts doing online research!! Ok, a LOT nuts!
THE KIDS: Our son just turned 4 last week, but he's a pretty big boy (44 lbs, 3'6"). Our daughter will be 1 next month and she's a biggun, too (25 lbs, 29").
THE SEATS: At home, we use a Britax Regent (btw, I don't see anyone mentioning this seat on these sites... is this still considered a really good seat?). DD is in a Britax Marathon.
THE PROBLEM: I can't drag 2 Britax seats through the airport! We're taking a 3hr flight, then we're renting a car (not for a long drive, just to get around town once we arrive). I suppose DS is large enough to fly without a seat, but we'll need something for the car once we arrive. Also, for DD we have a Cosco Regal Ride (used it with DS when he was little).
THE QUESTION(S): Is there a seat you can recommend for DS for the trip and as a backup seat when we're home? The Cosco Regal Ride feels so small and light (guess I'm used to the hulking Britax seats) - is it really safe enough for the flight and car while we're gone?
ANY help or advice would be sooooooooooo much appreciated!! :cheerleader1:
