Short-term seat ideas

I'm slowly coming to accept that DD has just about outgrown her Coccoro. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

So I might be looking at getting a new seat, but I'll only need it for a few months. DD is 17 months old, has a longish torso, and weighs probably between 22 and 25 pounds.

Since I don't need it to last long, I don't need anything with a particularly tall shell or high RF weight limit. I'd also not like to spend a ton, since, again, I won't need it for too long.

It would be installed in a Honda Pilot, if it matters.

My only other criteria is that it not be a Dorel product. (Based on principle.)

So, what should I get? I tend to pay attention to the seats that offer longevity, so I'm not really sure what else is out there.

How about an efta/efta 65? Myride 65? Ra 50?
Sorry she's outgrowing the cco, it's so cute.

A clearanced out Comfortsport? My Target has had them on clearance for awhile. Or an Evenflo Titan? Could you borrow one from a friend whose child moved to a booster?

Darn... If I hadn't just sold my ra50, I could have lent it to you.

Walmart usually has the Titan Sport for $80. Or a $100 RA50 at Target this week. Someone posted that if the RA50 is sold out it's being substituted with a MR for $94.

Hmm, all good ideas. Anyone know how the Comfortsport compares to the Coccoro? I'd almost feel guilty buying one of those, like it might encourage the production of more.

:yeahthat:

You can probably sell it (or at least the cover) when you're done and get back a lot of the money you spent.

Good point. I just sold my clearance $49 seat for $100.

My 2y4mo daughter with a longish torso (3T shirts) still has 1.5-2 inches of growing room in her ComfortSport. She's 35ish inches tall, short overall, but short legs.

The Avenue is a Dorel product.

Dude, they're like roaches. They're never gonna go away.


I think the cheapest thing you're going to find right now that's not Dorel or a Crappysport is one of the cheap Evenflo seats like the Titan or the RA50 deal. :thumbsup:

Shoot totally forgot that the Avenue is dorel, sorry!!


I had a Titan Elite as a program seat once. Had better specs than the Comfortsport (ie, 35lb RF limit and slightly taller shell)
