booster seats
I feel like we've spent a fortune on car seats!
We have an infant carrier/car seat that used to hook up to our stroller (before that crapped out). We spent $100 on the set.
We have Moose's convertible car seat (backward/forward facing up to 40lbs). We spent about $40 on that.
Now, he's almost 40 pounds (seriously like 38 pounds), so we need to get a convertible car seat/booster seat that will hold him until he's 100 lbs. That's anywhere from $40+.
I wish we would have actually realized how much money we would be spending (and how quickly Moose would get so big). And this is idealized because we couldn't have afforded this until now. But I would have got one of those 3-in-1 car seats. Infant seat/forward car seat/booster seat sets for like $240. It seems like a lot but we'll have spent about $220 when we're done with this business. I wish we could just sell the others and buy one of those, but then we'll need them when the new baby comes.
Any recommendations on convertible car seat/booster seats?

It's very easy to switch from car to car and she's told me that it's pretty comfortable.
Also I've seen this one at Walmart and looked into getting it for Adriana. This one will accommodate kids with the built in seatbelt til 35 pounds and then you can start using the regular car seat belt until 80 pounds. I'm pretty sure you can remove the back for when he gets older. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=1943168&findingMethod=rr
Hope this helped somewhat! Are you ready for the new baby yet!?
Sorry if I sounded too preachy, I know before I had kids, I thought it was strange to keep your kids in car seats past probably 4, but now I'd do anything to keep my kids in them longer since they'll be that much safer. Good luck on your hunt!
