Safety 1st side air at Costco $48 - Good deal?

psygrad · Jan 19, 2012

Hi. My sister would like to buy the safety 1st side air car seat for her 1 yr old. It's on sale at Costco for 48 dollars.
Is this a good deal??

Amazon.com is showing it at $89.99 and Walmart.com $99.50, so I'd say it's a good deal.

We have them for that price at our local Costco(s) too. It's basically a nicer version of the Scenera which is about that same price so I think it's great deal.

:yeahthatlove:

I was just looking at them today at Costco! My Costco even had one girly one in the stack.

Normally you won't see the Onside Air recommended much around here because it usually is just too expensive. It is a Scenera 40RF plus "Air Protect" side impact cushions. The Scenera 40RF sells for $50 at Target usually, so essentially you're paying $40 or so for the air protect cells and nothing else.

BUT... we recommend the Scenera 40RF for $50 all the time. So if you can get the upgraded one with the air protect for $2 less? Heck yeah!

I would buy one in a heartbeat but I need another car seat about like I need another hole in my head.

I think the air pockets are worth the $40 extra but that's just me lol, I would jump on that deal!

Sent from my iPod touch, sorry for any auto-correct typos!

I noticed at my Costco that the display seat only had the one RF indicator rather than two angles like some of the newer Dorel seats. Does that mean a 45' angle remains officially mandatory on this seat? I'm being tempted by it, but I don't neeeed it.

We got our Costco rebate check so I got it for free in pink!

As far as I know, yes, the official word is that the 45° angle is still mandatory with that seat. But since it's not a super tall seat like the CA I don't think it's that big of a deal. And I also wouldn't sweat about putting it a tad more upright if I had to.

Just a heads up: My Costco has a ton of these still at the $48 price. New date on the sign is Feb 26.
