Car seat experts please come in

We have a 2006 trailblazer as our 2nd vehicle. Now that I'm expecting #3, we're trying to find a car seat combo that will work. My dd is 4.5 and on the smaller side (40" and 38 lbs). My ds is just 3 and about (32" and 32 lbs). I just ordered 2 Diono Radian RXTs for them. Which infant seat will fit? I am open to any brand. Thank you!

I wouldn't recommend the Diono seats for them since you're paying $ $ for a seat that you're only using 1 / 2 the functionality of. I know they're narrow, but you're going to need a new seat in a few years when your dd is booster ready.

I would look into the Graco Tranzitions seat for them and a graco snugride 30 for the baby.

From what I can find online width wise they should all fit. You won't know for sure until you try them out. A lot of times BRU will allow you to do so with their floor models. They'd only have one Tranzitions seat, but you could easily figure out if 3 across would work.

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss further! ! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Radians convert to boosters -

we have two radians and one britax boulevard across the explorer second row - I love the radian - my twins are 4.5 and same height and weight are still rear facing in them - we also have the angle adjuster

I had two infant seats - the graco snug ride and the britax boulevard across the second row

if you go to buy buy baby they let you test car seat floor models in your car - they just hold onto your license

They don't make good boosters because they are outgrown in booster mode at the same time as the harness.

I sent her a pm that I already ordered the Radians. I figured once the baby is outgrowing the infant carrier, I will give him her radian and get dd a new seat. I just need 3 seats to fit in car #2.

Yup. They're completely inflated limits for booster mode. In reality they don't really convert and when parents do, they don't make for a good belt fit at all.
