Hi-
I have a 3 1/2 yo, about 30 lbs and about 40" tall, and a 2yo also 30lbs and about 33 or 34" tall. Am expecting #3 shortly, so I need to buy a new car.

In our 2 cars we have 3 boulevards and a roundabout, and I'd like to use my Britax companion for the baby, or am willing to buy a snugride. I plan to buy a Radian (will buy 2 if I have to) but would be happiest if I could keep at least one of the boulevards-

I don't want a big SUV (wouldn't fit in our little garage and hate the poor mileage) and will not look at minivans. Love my husband's Lexus rx400h but I don't know anyone who has fit 3 of anything in one of those. Would consider a sedan but seems like it would be hard to get the middle kid in & out.

Price is not a concern.

So-
Will the rx400h or the Cayenne work? Is there a Mercedes I should consider? I will look at BMW & Acura but not sure I will like them. What else should I look at?

Thanks-

	Sunshine Kids Radian 80 or 65 - Click for more info If "the Sunshine Kid's Radian 80 convertible car seat is (probably) the only car seat you will ever need," the "probably" part of this statement comes into play when you directly compare the Radian 80 with the Britax Regent. While the Radian 80 has a very high weight capacity, the seat width is only 10" vs. the Regent's 14" seat. The Britax Regent may be a bit wider, but it is very bulky, is only forward facing, and does not fold like the Radian 80. Because the Radian 80 is so narrow, you can potentially put three of them side by side in the back seat. Three Regents side by side? Impossible.
