$70.00 off this Graco car seat. Bought two. The limit was one per customer, so I sent my friend my CC and she ordered one too.

Little man will be out of his infant seat before we know it so I wanted to go ahead and get two convertible car seats. One for my wife’s CX-5 and one for my 6. No frequent car seat switching or getting caught without one.

I was about to say.... was there another mini mazda616 on the way.... but you clarified that at the very end.

That’s nice! Yeah, I think having 2 is a must. Hmmm, we need to start hunting for the forward facing seat, too...

Congrats, I wish you luck in keeping some front legroom.

The swap to that forward facing seat is what I’m looking forward to, so I can regain some legroom up front—

We have that model in my wife’s CX5, the bottom of the base is a flat and slippery so I added some traction dots to the bottom so it grips the seat material a little better. Otherwise is slips around a little.

Fair enough, we just jumped in and made sure there was an overlap between the infant seat and the front facing one. Our littlest is 9 months and her infant seats live in the cars as toting her and seat is a bit much at this point.

I’ve got an 11 month old, and we’re still popping the seat in and out all the time - but my wife is struggling with all of that weight, so I think hers will be staying put pretty soon - which will force me to do the same. Her car is pretty roomy, but I go back and forth between two cars, one of which is a little tight, and one of which is silly (E46 BMW convertible :))

The reason I went from a Mazda3 to a Mazda6 is to preserve some semblance of legroom for a front seat passenger with the convertible car seat installed.

Negative. One keeps us on our toes enough for now. Haha.

Yeah, going to a bigger car (or x-over/SUV) is pretty much a requirement if you want to fit an actual human being in front of that rear-facing infant seat. I don’t doubt that those seats sell a lot of X-over/SUVs...

Wow, I get to say Recaro before anybody else this time.

I have a Recaro front facing in my SUV and the Mrs. has a Britax in hers. The Britax was a gift so I’m not complaining but the Recaro seat feels way more solid.

Remember, one kid is for quitters. By the time you get to 3, you figure eh, why not go for four? And remember how simple life is with one child. They are awesome though. Congrats BTW.

Once you get them spin around forward facing it’s not bad, but until then.... not so much.
