Truefit a good Grandparent's seat?

I'm looking for a seat for my parent's car. My DS is 15 mos, approx 23 lbs and has a long torso (he's on the third slot of the RN already!). They have a Buick Century and a Honda Civic, both around 2001-2002. The Buick has latch. The truefit is on sale this week at BRU (in Canada) and I'm wondering if this is a good seat to recommend to them to get.

Do you think this is a good seat for a grandparent's vehicle? If not, suggestions please

TIA

I think it is a pretty good seat for a granparent. It has a no re-thread harness which makes it easy to adjust the harness height when necessary. Also good if they transport other grandchildren in the same vehicle and don't want to swap out seats. It has seatbelt lock-offs which are helpful with non-latch vehicles.

I have two caveats. It is a relatively wide seat, so it will definitely consume alot of backseat space in the civic. Also, the harness adjuster is difficult to reach when rear-facing (what you pull to tighten). This may be a pain for an older person with any type of arthritis (not sure how old your parents are).

You need to be comfortable turning your DS at 35 pounds as this seat does not have a higher RF weight limit. My understanding is that it performs well forward facing, so I am ok with this for an older child.

Since I am not in canada, I can't recall all of what you have available to you. Is the safety first avenue available? It is a great seat and a little cheaper (here in the US) for a spare. The radian would work too and be narrower, but limits front seat passenger space because of the recline and can be a difficult install with just seatbelts.

I love my true fit and don't think you will be dissapointed. It should work in grandma and granpa's car for a long time.

Thanks

My parents at the moment have no arthritis issues, just achy bones. They're 58 and 59. Man, when you type that out, it seems like they're getting older, but in my mind they aren't. But I digress.

Honestly I don't imagine them using the Civic that much, just the Buick. They are thinking about getting a minivan so they can transport all their grandkids at once.

I just checked and we do have the Avenue, but it's regular price ($149) is the same price as the Truefit on sale! I think that I'd rather go with the Truefit for that price. This seat won't be used that frequently (I think), but my mom is retiring in May and that will probably change things quite a bit.
