large car seats?
i recently returned from a trip home for thanksgiving with my two boys. while we were there, i realized that my 5 month old son is now too big for his car seat. he has been using his older brother's graco seat that is rated to 20lbs. when we weighed him, he was 23lbs! i do have another of his older brother's car seats. it's a cosco, alpha omega elite. that seat can be used as a rear facing seat and for children up to 35lbs. the problem is, in my maxima, it takes up a LOT of room. almost rendering the front passenger seat all but useless. if i put it in the middle, my older son's booster seat does not have a lot of room.
i am a recent widower and am interested in trading in my maxima as it is a daily reminder that i don't need. i am not interested in a minivan. and am only slightly warmer to an suv. i prefer cars. can anyone recommend a rear-facing car seat/car combo. car seat price is not a concern as this is critical to my child's saftey. if it's $50 great. if it's $300 great. whatever meets my saftey and (hopefully) size requirements, is what i am interested in.
TIA
