I'd take the two Nautiluses. We went to the UK when my first two were 2.5 and 1 yo. We had two of the older Triumphs back then, one FF, one RF. We were worried about fit, too, as we were borrowing my Dad's Citroen Xsara. It was...

DS1 is 6 years 7 months. He is right around 50lbs and is maybe 45 inches tall. He is all legs though, and I only just had to adjust his Nautilus harness to the top slot. He is very mature in the car and very rarely falls asleep on a...

We have an itty bitty outdoor space. We just have enough room for a play fort with a slide. We do have a tree, so I made a wooden swing to go on that. We have a tiny space for a 'fairy garden' where we put several cheap wooden bird...

Aren't Miatas two-seaters? So, a 3YO front-facing in a front seat, possibly exceeding the speed limit? My answer would be a resounding H3LL, NO!!! OK, I occasionally exceed the speed limit with my kids in the car, but I'd draw the...

I think you are ahead of the game just because you already know what inspires you and that you already know you will use Waldorf. I wish I had known what I know now back when my oldest was a toddler! I think it is probably easier to...
