Ok, I'm a planner...so please bear with me. My LO has a snugride 32. Based on his height, I expect he will be within 1" of the top of the seat this fall (he'll be 1 later this week), so I'm trying to plan ahead (budgetary) for the purchase of the convertible seat he'll be moving into. That said, we have to purchase 3 seats due to work schedules & babysitter. (DH drops off, I pick up, sitter has LO all day).
I know there are reasonably priced seats (Costco Scenera) but I'm wondering what will work best with our (1) budget (2) vehicles (3) future child(ren). We are hoping to be having our second within the next year so the 5 yr "limit" on the infant seat won't be up and we plan to use it with #2.
I'm looking for recommendations that are reasonably priced, work in our cars, and work with the SnugRide 32 in our cars. We're willing to pay ~$150 for the seat that will be used most (in DH's car), but would prefer to spend closer to ~$50- 75 for my car and sitter's car. Additionally, we'd prefer if the seat goes beyond 40 lbs, but its probably not critical as our LO is average in height and just below avg in weight for his age.
The stats:
Looking for: Convertible seat
Primary Vehicle: 2004 Subaru Forester
Secondary Vehicle: 2006 Toyota Corolla
Sitter's Vehicle (used as much as primary): Dodge Caravan, not sure what year.
Would like new convertible seat to fit well with SnugRide 32 in future.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
