Desperately Seeking Advice

Now that Rhett has crossed the threshhold into the forward-facing car seats, I find myself stymied. The main reason for this is that we have three cars in which Rhett regularly rides: mine, Chuck's, and the babysitter's. Do we need to buy three car seats: one for each of the cars? Or two seats: one for me and one for Chuck/Mary? Or even just one, and we all share it? For those of you with these next-step seats, how easy are they to switch between cars? Do they have bases they just click into? Or do they require a fireman to adjust them every time? Any advice on how we should handle this?? Please???

  1. If you are having to switch often, I would definitely suggest having more than one!

  2. Go with two inexpensive ones. Top of the line with all the bells and whistles are not necessarily more safe than your basic forward-facing carseat.

  3. Buy more than one! We've found that as we've had more kids we needed more forward facing car seats as the kids are in them for at least 3 years. So with one baby car seat (with base), 2 forward facing car seats and 2 boosters we'll be able to rotate kids in and out and not have too many car seats but just enough to make for easy car switching.

  4. I'd say buy another at least ONE more to swap between babysitter/Chuck. It seems silly, but I think you'll LOVE it!!!!

  5. I'm with the others--I think 2 would be a good idea :)
