Good back-up seats w/ easy installs

I need a lightweight spare that's easy to install for DD. 14mos 19.5lbs 29" I am currently using a Marathon as her spare but it's too heavy and bulky. I'm not a big fan of the RF scenera/avenue install in ANY car without the pool noodle but I don't want to deal with that. Does anybody have any good ideas for me?

You can do a scenera, without noodles. Just push the seat into the seat back. Works great.

I vote for the avenue. I didn't like it at first b/c of the install -- but I mastered it and it takes just a few minutes and no noodles. It is extremely light weight.

How often will you need it? I know she'd still fit in a SS1 or SR30, could you have one of those around? That's our back-up back-up :p.

I wasn't a fan of the Avenue at first either, especially since my first convertible seats were Britax - but after playing with it a bit I found the Avenue love. I use mine for travel and it works great because it is so light....my peanut also has tons of shell above her head at almost 3 :eek:

I loved the Uptown/Avenue as well, but I did find that I always had to use one noodle to get it to 30-35 degrees. No biggie toting it around though.
