Can someone help me out...well for my friend. Her SIL is about to have her 2nd baby, in the next few weeks and doesn't have a carseat yet. These people (the one having the baby and her parents that she lives with) are NOT very good with carseats....her older son is not quite 2 and has been caught riding in the front seat of the car no carseat at all and didn't even make it to age 1 rear facing...they just don't care about car seat safety. So my friend is trying to help her out finding a seat. She found her one on craigslist for VERY cheap....I think she said $10 for a girly graco seat, at that price I'm led to believe something must be wrong...expired or in a wreck. I told her to do everything she can before getting her a used seat. She does have a new convertible that was given to her but my friend doesn't know the brand...so not sure how well it works for newborns but my friend is concerned that if they have one that CAN be forward facing it will be WAYYY too young. Also since they are bigger, getting them to even use it all the time will be a feat in itself. It's mostly the girl's parents that don't use them...the girl herself just isn't very educated on how to use them properly..but she doesn't have much money at all. I found quite a few Evenflo infant seats in the price range of $50-60 but I hate those seats just from the little bit I have messed with them so I'm not too familiar with them. My friend has one and I know hers can not be used without the base...is that the case with all Evenflo? From pictures it looks like it is...which means more than likely they will still use it without the base...obviously unsafe so trying to avoid those if that's the case too. Can someone let me know the cheapest infant seat out there that is pretty much fail proof? Or is anyone here selling any infant seats that they are selling cheap? I would trust people on here, rather than craigslist
