dd 2008 now home from Taiwan!
11yo- nothing. 4'10", 80lbs
5.5yo- ff'ing Britax Marathon in my car; harnessed in Britax Fronteir in dh's car
DS is 3y10m, 34 lbs, just under 40in, rear facing in a Chicco NextFit and an Evenflo SureRide.
My car:
We just moved and our American seats wouldn't fit right in our British-spec car, so we had to buy new ones. So, the boys (8 and 5) are in UK Maxi Cosi Rodifix high-back boosters in my car.
DH's car should be here soon and I think we'll have: DS1 (8) in his Monterey HBB and DS2 (5) in either his Diono Monterey HBB or his Britax Parkway SGL.
We also will end up having an extra Turbobooster since we had to get new seats. Ugh.
I would have much preferred to keep DS2 harnessed longer but our Frontier or Nautilus would not fit in DH's car well and forget it in my Honda wagon I have here. These seats are crazy. Reminds me of my old Forester that was tough to fit. I will be happy to go back to an American car in 2 years.

Dd is age three and a half and is forward facing in a Britax Roundabout in my car and rear facing in a Britax Roundabout in Dh's car. (Mine is a Forester and I turned her around at three to get some leg room back for the front seat passenger. She seldom rides in dh's car and he hasn't gotten around to turning her yet.)
Ds is ten and meets the five point test in my car, so he rides sans booster. He is still in a backless booster in dh's Flex. We just checked and he still doesn't meet the five point test in that car yet.

DD is 2 and RF in a Boulevard in my car and Marathon in DH's car.
The new baby will be in a Chicco Keyfit. I moved DD at 6 months to the Boulevard because she was a chubby baby. If the new baby is chubby too, I will move her around the same time and then will probably buy another Boulevard/Marathon combo. If I can hold out until DD1 is 3+, I will probably turn DD1 and put her in a Frontier if she fits and give the new baby the Boulevard.
Only one child in a seat here!
Agnes is 15 months and RF in a Clek Foonf. She's >27# and at least 31", but she doesn't enjoy being weighed or measured so those are as close as we can get.

Stachio is 4 and harnessed in Evenflo SecureKid 300's in each car (DH, Sitter, and mine). He has a RideSafer Vest as the spare for Grandparents and friend's cars.
Peanut is almost 2 yo RF in an Evenflo Triumph Advance, and a pair of classic MA's. No spare for him right now.
