OK, so here is the situation. I have a 2001 Honda Ody. Latch in the two captain chairs, no latch in the third row. Right now DS1 and DS2 are in the back row in their marathons. The situation is that both Marathons exp in December 2009. I snagged a Nauilus at Target two months ago for about $65 on clearance. Today, I saw a True Fit that was 30% off on clearance, regular price $199, so it rang up at $132. I almost got it, but put it back, it had a really good DOM of 6/09. Would this be a good seat for us?
DS1 is 5.5 yrs old, 36 lbs, 43 inches.
DS2 is 4 yrs old, 34 lbs, 41 inches.
DS3 is in a SR32 in one of the captain's chairs, BUT he is a chunky monkey unlike my other two boys, only a little bit over 2 mo old and he is already over 15 lbs and 23.5 inches!!!
OK, so here is the thing. My DH drives the older two boys *maybe* once a wk (sometimes not at all) and in his Subaru WRX, DS1 uses a Parkway and DS2 uses a Cosco Scenera. On top of that I had gotten an extra Parkway (these are not the new ones, but the discontinued ones, I got them cheap on clearance), thinking that would be DS1's next seat. BUT, he is still really runty. So, I am thinking it's probably better to keep him in a 5 pt for longer. Would the True Fit be ok as one of the Marathon replacements? I figure the Parkway could be used to replace the scenera in DH's car for DS2 when he outgrows it. OR can I just have DS1 use the extra Parkway as his main seat in my Ody.
The only reason I've considered the True Fit is b/c I seem them on clearance every once in a while at Target and I figure that DS3 could use it, since it can be used RF. DH won't be happy to hear that I am going to buy another convertible seat, but at the rate that DS3 is growing, I am thinking it might not be a bad idea. What do you think? Should I go back to Target and get the True Fit (if it's still there)?
