Cheap seat for travel for 10 month old

Stacy · Oct 22, 2012

We will be flying next week with the kids. My 10 month old will be a lap baby and I was planning on having a seat shipped to our destination (we have family that can bring it to the airport). We will be renting a car for the week.

I am thinking of getting the Tribute seat, based really on price alone since I will not be bringing it back.

Is this a pretty good bet? How is it to install?

TIA!

I would spend the money on getting a seat for baby and then take the seat you have back and forth.

Thanks, but just wondering about the Tribute car seat though

Tribute is a fine seat and pretty easy to install not very much cushion but a deep seat and comfy enough for a travel seat

Either a Tribute or a Cosco Scenera would be what I'd get. Usually the Scenera's a little cheaper. I think I like it a little better, too, but that's just a matter of opinion.

Thanks everyone!

I second the Scenera over the tribute. I have one for my husbands car and likely enough to use for his daily daycare pickups. We use the Tribute for our program seat for families in need, and while its a nice seat I thin the Scenera has easier installation and is more user friendly.

I prefer the tribute to the scenera, but it is not a decision I would lose much sleep over.

Have a good trip!

Well, I bit the bullet and just decided to get a ticket for the baby after all. Her regular seat is a RA 40 and I am madly in love with the little thing, so I will bringing it along for the trip :thumbsup:.

So on that note, is there anything I should know about before installing this seat on the plane?

YAY!! Im so glad you did! I always worry so much about babies and kids not strapped in during turbulence and to be honest, Most kids are used to car seats so they behave better when in a seat. It makes it less stressful over all.

We flew a lot with our Blvd 65 and it was easy to install rfing on the plane. IIRC I buckled it in using rfing belt path over the cover and then put DD in the seat. (I think it was easier than having her in the seat when I installed it.) You may need to raise the armrest before you install it.
