Ive searched but seems they are all older topics.
Im on the hunt for 2 new carseats. I cant afford to buy 2 radians. So id like to know other carseats that are similar but for cheaper price. DD is 2.5 although she doesnt have to be RF i would prefer to get a seat that will happily hold her until 25+ kg. Also is there a booster/convertible carseat perhaps from 8kg+ that is suitable for her or am i best getting a standard convertible. She is only 12kg so i dont want to put her in a booster but saw this link, unsure if its a good carseat though. Any other info on seats would be great. Thanks http://www.babyfactory.co.nz/products/group/28/page/1/style/50269/# - S & S -------------

How heavy is T? If your thinking about a booster have you looked at the monterey booster? http://www.cheekycherubs.co.nz/webapps/p/81891/167095/559663 - link you can use it from 14 to 54kgs (so it will last her a lloooooooooonnngggg time!)
TBH I havnt really heard of many seats being able to FF to 25kgs (although just googled it, and I have never heard of them before but http://www.gonappies.co.nz/car-seats/~id/175/name/skl20-skep-luxury-carseat-9-25kg-green-racing/ - this came up?!) or http://www.babystuff.co.nz/shop/CAR+SEATS/Carseats/Baby+Gear+Carseat+ES01+9-25kgs-2.html - this one? You could post on the http://www.facebook.com/pages/Car-seat-info-classes-with-Parents-Centre/241254658303 - car seat info FB page and see if they can offer you any suggestions, they know a lot about carseats so will know their stuff! -------------

What is Taylah in currently? And is she rf or ff?
Just quickly also the radian is on special till tomrrow evening at baby universe for $395 http://www.babyuniverse.co.nz/deal-of-the-day/ - Radian Could you put Taylah in this, and the new baby in Taylah's current seat? That way only buying the one seat for now. Emmi, I don't think the monterey would be a good option yet, as she is small 12kg, and would be better in a harnessed booster. There are a few other options out there, but it would be good to know what T is in now. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Woops i conveniently forgot to tell DP about the Radian special. Although i told him yesterday i was buying new seats. He said no i said yes. haahaha
Yeah that booster is no good T is still way to young & small for one of them. She is FF now. I guess i wont need another radian for around 1-1.5 years by the time the baby would need it so by then i might get one really cheap
