Helping a friend choose a convertible...

My friend asked for my opinion on which convertible(s) to choose. Her DS is 4 months old, 15lbs, 26". He's chubby! :p He seems kind of long in the torso (wearing 6-9 month onsies). Primary vehicle is a newer 4-door Civic, secondary vehicle is a newer 2-door Civic, plus grandparents' vehicles (don't know what they drive).

Cost is a factor, but not the deciding factor... Radian and Britax are probably out of the question. She wants a seat that will last until time to use a booster.

I'm thinking Evenflo Momentum, True Fit or True Fit Premier, or...? I told her about the excessive FF recline of the MR, she seemed to not like that, so that seat is probably out. What am I missing? For some reason I'm drawing a blank tonight. :eek:

Complete Air (assuming the baby isn't too small for it)? It seems to install great in smaller vehicles as the baby gets older and is cheaper than a TFP.

I think he's too small for it. She's ready to make the switch to a convertible very soon, and at only 4 months, I highly doubt his shoulders would be at the lowest setting. My DS didn't reach the lowest setting until 11 months.

I checked the one closest to us (she lives nearby), and they had one that did not appear to be marked down (no price sticker on the seat OR the shelf), though I didn't scan the box. Probably should have. Thanks for the reminder!
