2 car seats for 2 cars?

[Olive]

we have two cars and 2 car seats, that will change to two cars and 4 car seats!! couldnt be bothered moving seats as we i use my car during the week and DH's car on the weekends!

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

We only have the 1, but then there aren't many times that DH has the kids alone, and if he does then I take the car without the seats in it. Works for us but like I said, either I have the kids or we are all together. Maybe just stick with the one and if you find that you are having to swap all the time get another? We find it easier to swap cars!

We definitely have two-- one for each car. We just bought this new bubs two seats as well. There are many times when I drop DS off somewhere, and DH picks him up and vice versa. It would be impossible to leave DS AND his car seat every time.

if you will regularly use both cars, i'd be getting two seats - having seen my SIL stranded at home when bro took the car with the car seat in it, not realising she needed to go out, i decided if we were in that situation there would be a seat in both cars. we have a 4wd and a ute, so no, we won't put a car seat in the ute, but my folks are buying a seat for their car in case i go out with mum or anything, and SIL has kept one of their seats just in case it's needed.

luckily the day SIL was left stranded, i was still living just around the corner, and had bought a car seat for my car, so i took her where she needed to go... sometimes you won't have that back up though!
