I think I'm going to have to turn J's seat forward soon, his little head is getting close to being 1" from the top of the shell, which means he has almost outgrown the rear facing limit on the seat even though he is no where close to outgrowing it by weight
He won't outgrow it forward facing by height for probably another 6 months, but I'm starting to look at forward facing seats. We don't have a second car seat for Jake right now so I'm thinking of just getting him a new one soon and making the Roundabout our extra to have in dh's car or my parents car so I don't have to worry about car seats when the time comes to have the baby or if I would go into labor and not be able to pick J up from daycare or something like that.
I'm looking at the Graco Nautilus, anyone have it? If you do, what do you like or dislike about it.
Re: Car seats
*hanging head in shame* We turned D around in our Roundabout a few weeks ago, but that is besides the point. Mostly because he is tall and his head was getting close to the top of the shell RF'ing so we had to take it out one day to haul something in my Jeep and I said F it, turn it around, LOL.
Anyways, my parents bought the Graco Nautilus 3 in 1 for their car. LOVE IT!!!! I really truly love it. If and when he grows out of the Roundabout FF we will get the Graco Nautilus. It installs easily, the straps are very nice, the entire seat as a whole is nice. What is nicer, you get a lot of bang for your buck with the seat. The car seat doesn't expire for 6 years forward facing and the expiration on the booster is 9 years. My parents got theirs for about $125 with free shipping from Diapers.com. We had found it online at Amazon.com for I think $139 or something, so they price matched it and for being a new customer my dad got 10% off. I highly recommend it.
You are fine Jill ... I turned Abby around 2 months ago.
) She is sooooo much happier in the car now!
Hound that is the seat I am planning on getting! I took Addison's extra seat out of dh's car when I was done w/ the infant seat so I still need to get 2 new seats. Addison's only goes to 40 pounds and she is almost there. I think they were $139 on Walmart.com also.
