Affordable convertible car seats?
So yes it would be nice to get a Britax but our budget will not allow for this right now. So what would be a more affordable option but still a very safe car seat? I would like one that rear faces too and goes up to 40 or 65 lbs. I was looking at the Graco comfort sport but I am just not sure and would like some input here. I should add she is 9 months and getting close to growing out of her infant seat.Thanks.
I would say my budget is about $150. I have an older car that does not have tethers and it is also a 2 door so I need something that won't be too big. I mean if the Britax is the best we could get it and just cutt back on other things for the month.
I have an Alpha Omega (aka costco aka Eddie Bauer) and an Evenflo Triumph Advance. I figured the Alpha Omega was pretty good until I got the Evenflo Triumph Advance -its a million times better and generally about 30% cheaper.
With the Alpha Omega the shoulder straps run in a loop under the baby's butt, which means if you get too much on one shoulder and not enough on the other you basically have to take the baby out of the seat to fix it-and it happens all the time. You can't reach the harness tightness adjuster on the Alpha Omega with the seat rear-facing as its between the baby's feet and ends up buried in the car's seat.
The Evenflo Triumph Advance the harness is easy to loosen and tigthen so you actually get the proper fit each time -you use a knob off to the side (to loosen you have to push this sort of tab on a ring, it works very easily as long as you release the tension first by unbuckling the straps -learned that the hard way). The shoulder strap has "infinite adjust". The upside is its easy to adjust, the downside is its easy to adjust.
The Sunshine Radian 65 is an excellent seat, particularly if you need one that's "portable" (its heavy because its metal but it folds flat) or fit three across (its one of the narrowest seats on the market but has one of the widest "seat space" because its metal. So it takes up less room but fits larger kids. Upgrading to the 80 (65 and 80 are the weight limits, is generally not worth it)
I also hear good things about the Learning Curve "True Fit"
