Default Re: large car seats?


thanks trina. i'm taking delivery of the voyager on the 10th.

and, i'll give a +1 on the graco turbo booster. my 4yo uses it and it's a wonderful little seat. it's very light and compact so it's nice to travel with and easy to switch cars. the price is right too.

I still don't really understand that - I would probably need to see a picture.
But my daughter is not in a carseat anymore, so it doesn't really matter if I don't get it!

Thanks!

just a Britax Marathon here, we had a roundabout and those are much smaller, so when we were in an accident and the insurance paid for us to but a new seat, we upgraded!! lol
We will most likely get a roundabout for the next baby, then move them to the marathon that Nichole is in now, since by then she will be in a high back booster seat
