I thought the convertible was going to last well into when he can switch into just a booster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-set-up-for-2-kids#post-62479 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:04:37 +0000 looch 62479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try to keep your son harnessed as long as possible, in something like a Frontier or Nautilus. I am not a big fan of the boosters that use the seatbelt, especially for long rides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-set-up-for-2-kids#post-62370 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:28:00 +0000 BoogieBea 62370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Thanks, good to know! For some reason, I thought the convertible seat was going to last until they switch to a child booster. It's a good thing I didn't just blindly buy another convertible for the younger child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-set-up-for-2-kids#post-62333 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:29:19 +0000 chopsuey 62333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have two kids, but BIL/SIL do. They have #1 in the booster seat thing you were talking about. And #2 is in a Britax convertible. They have the kids sitting behind the driver and passenger seats. Middle is open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-set-up-for-2-kids#post-62321 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:29:20 +0000 BoogieBea 62321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS and DD are just shy of being two years apart. My DS is currently in a britax boulevard convertible car seat and DD in the infant car seat. I was just preparing ahead and was originally looking into getting a convertible for DD when she grows out of the infant car seat. But now I'm thinking that I should just get a front facing/booster combination car seat for my DS and move DD into his convertible seat. And then she'll eventually get her own front facing/booster?</p> <p>What's confusing to me is that his current convertible holds up to 70 lbs which made me think that it would last for many years since he's no where near that weight. But I looked again and height wise, he's almost at the max for the convertible so at some point, I'm going to need to get him a new seat anyway. So I might as well get him a new seat now and pass his on to his sister.</p> <p>Hope all of that made sense. For those who have two kids, what is your car seat set up like as they got older? </p>
