It fits well with the seat, but the front seats would have to be moved up some. Not a big deal for me, but more so for DH. </p> <p>Thanks everyone! I think I just needed some validation :) I don't know why this was so hard for me to think through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431547 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:04:28 +0000 T-Mom 431547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely important to ensure that your seat fits well in the car. A bad fit means a bad install. Marathon is a really solid choice with a good open design for ease of use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431521 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:51:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 431521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds good. We actually had to buy a Britax because it was the only one that fit really well in our sedan, but it was totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431509 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:44:06 +0000 Cole 431509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like your plan, I have a radian in my car (a fusion) and while I can make it work safely I would much rather have a Britax that fits properly right now. It is such a pain every time I have to move the seat or, well, anytime anyone wants to sit in the passenger seat... I do think the Diono is a piece of cake to get kids in and out of but the Britax ones are not so much harder to make me want it less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431476 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:22:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 431476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Areyou putting the diono in the middle? </p> <p>We have the boulevard and like the extra protection and i thinknit wa smore comfortable when smaller </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431465 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:18:15 +0000 babynumber1 431465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds reasonable and probably what I would also do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-good-carseat-plan#post-431443 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:08:07 +0000 Weagle 431443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This weekend we went and tested out some convertible carseats. It's down to the Diono Radian and a Britax. The Diono is my preference, but it doesn't fit super well in our car. We can make it work, but it's a little long. The Britax fits better, but it's quite a bit wider and the sides are taller... making it a little harder to get LO in. We're thinking that we'll get a Roundabout or Marathon for now. Once we get a bigger car and #2 gets ready for the convertible, we'll probably move LO into a Diono and let LO have the Britax. Is that reasonable or is it better to go ahead and make the Diono work now? </p>
