Moms of 2+: What did you do when younger DC outgrew the infant car seat?
DS2 is only 1 month old so I have a little while, but I noticed that Britax car seats are on sale at a bunch of different websites. I have 2 Britax Marathons for DS1, which I bought 3+ years ago. DS2 will be 4 in December, but won't be 40 lbs. I also want to wait a while before putting him into a booster. When DS2 moves to a convertible seat, do I just switch him into my old Marathons and get a new seat for DS1 or should I keep DS1 in his seat and buy new convertible seats for DS2?
What did you do? If you bought a new seat for older DC, what did you buy?

I am not there yet, DD is 3.5 and 31 lbs, and DS is 6 months old.
But I will buy him a new seat, and then switch DD to a booster when she's ready. Car seats are good for 5 yrs, so by the time my Marathon expires, she'll be out of it.
We have a second seat in DHs car, but that converts to a booster. I think it's the Graco Nautllus.
What sites are you seeing Britax on sale? I am watching for them to go on sale to buy for DS .

I noticed the sale first on diapers.com, which was where I bought the Marathons for DS1. I think Britax may be on sale everywhere. I also saw albeebaby.com, amazon, BRu, etc were having sales for them.

This is our plan. We will need another car seat when we get another car so we plan to buy the Nautilius since it's 30-100lbs and converts until she will be big enough for a regular seat more then likely. I just can't see buy another seat and then a booster as well.

DD #1 is 3.5 and DD #2 is 6 months old. DD#1 has a britax marathon and we just bought a new britax marathon for DD#2 since she was getting too big for the infant seat.
