2 car seats for 2 cars?

[SugarDust]

We have a car seat in each car for Master M and the one booster for Master J but when this bubs is born we are going to need to get another 2 seats as bubs would be reward facing and Master M will still be in his car seat as he only weighs 11kgs.

Ideal it is upto you! if you think it would be to much hassle to keep swap and changing then get the 2 if you can afford it!

We have 2 seats in two cars - actually 4 seats in 2 cars. One for each of my sons in each car. It's so much easier than having to work out the logistics of who's where and who's taking which car. Or if I've gone out alone in one car with the car seats and my DH spontaneously decides he wants to go out with the other car and take the kids somewhere - he can. But it's all about budget really. If you can afford it, I'd do it.

I got a second car seat off eaby for hubby's car. It was too much of a PITA to change one seat over. But maybe i'm just lazy!

we have 2 seats in each car.. I do the day care drop off and head to work and hubby picks the kids up as he is home before me...

We had an extra seat for DD when she was younger which came in handy when it came to DH needing one in his car & also when the grandparents watched her they used the spare one which was always available for them in our garage. We now have a spare booster for DD (safe n sound pegasis deluxe) & we have the safe n sound maxi rider AHR in my car.
No sparie for DS atm but it would have come in handy the other day when PIL were babysitting & we didnt realise they wanted to take the kids to the park. We were running late to be somewhere so didnt have the time to get DS's seat out of my car so MIL stayed home with DS while FIL took DD to the park in her spare seat. So we may look at buying a sparie for DS.
We have 2 bases for our capsule which was great for when he was younger so PIL could use it in their car but now he's in DD's old meridian.

I think if you mainly use the one car for family outings & grandparents etc dont have your child/ren much then one should be perfectly fine but if you're planning on using different cars ALOT then I would get a spare seat.

I hope that made sense!

we got two car seats 2nd hand in good condition, had them checked out by the red cross safety office, it's very convenient having one in each car. i am not confident of changing them over at all, dh is (hmmm), but i end up going to have the seat checked once he's done it (by the red cross). If we had any babysitters (e.g grandparents) that were regularly transporting bilby, i would want one for their car too.

we rearfaced until 11kg, i wish we had a carseat that would rearface for longer.

I got a good one from baby store for the car we do long trips in and a cheaper model from big w both standard etc for the one I duck to shops in, mind you if I lived in a town with freeways etc I would have bought 2 of the good ones (my town got its frist roundabout the other week we have no traffic lights so small)

we just got a maxi rider put it in the one we do most of driving due to the fact he has nearly outgrown car seats so we will end up with 2 cars one seat but we wont swap we will just use the car with seat in if we are going anywhere
