BR: Rec your low-cost convertible car seat, please :)

We need a *cheap* convertible car seat for Evie to use in my parents' cars (Nissan Rogue and Altima).  We're looking to spend $100 or less... since she'll only be riding around once in awhile and short car trips. 

Baby Bargains rec's Cosco Scenara and Evenflo's... any insight?

Re: BR: Rec your low-cost convertible car seat, please :)

  • we have the Cosco Scenera ($40 at walmart) and it is great. It's comfortable for her, she's happy when she's in it. Definitely recommend it.
  • I was hoping someone here would like it.  The only thing I have a concern about is the cushioning... But she won't be in it for long periods of time or even that often.

    I think I'm going to tell my mom to go to Wal-mart or Target and she can pick whichever one she wants.  They sell the Cosco one at both stores.

  • Yeah, I think it will be fine! El doesn't seem to have any issues with it.
  • that's good... heck, I may even get it for our car, too.  

    Does it sit upright more than the infant seat when it's rear facing?  Evie is now trying to sit up in her seat because she likes to be upright/sitting. It's so funny listening to her grunt when tries to sit forward.  Stick out tongue

  • It actually has a bar under the back of it, where you can either sit it upright or lean it back into a reclined position, depending on how she's more comfortable.
  • I see... that's good.  I'll have to try out that position and see if she likes alright.  Thank Ames for the input!

    Nate does this too. He is also a giant and doesn't fit in a lot of the seats that say they can hold 7-9 month babies..... 

    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...
