So, Saturday we took the long slow route to the carseat store and tried the Graco Turbo Booster seat(with the adjustable high back) in both sides of the car with the Britax Roundabout in the rear facing position in the middle, and it all fits! More importantly, Aidan fits in it!!! The seatbelt crosses his shoulder in the exact right position, and he seems happy as a clam. Caleigh isn't quite as happy b/c once the seats are installed in their final positions, she will be unable to reach the seatbelt to undo it when the car is parked and turned off. This is a bonus b/c it means that Aidan will be unable to reach the seatbelt and unstrap himself either.
I know that it would be safer for him to be in a 5-point harness for a quite while longer, but since he meets the requirements to be in the seat in both height and weight, and it will allow us to get the repairs done on the car, pay down some of our debt(definitely not all of it, but hopefully a good chunk of it), and save up for something new-to-us in the next 6mths to a year. I feel comfortable having him in this seat for the time being.
