We are looking for a carseat for our 17 month old to use while traveling on an airplane and rental car, and the occasional ride in someone else's vehicle. Something easy to install is preferred and not huge/bulky like the Diono she sits in normally. When my older kids were little we had Cosco Scenaras for them, I'm looking for something like that. Need it for tomorrow so ideally it would be one easy to find locally and not online. We have a Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Target, Walmart, etc. nearby. Thank you so much!

Cosco Scenera and Evenflo Tribute are often recommended for low budget and/or travel seats. I loved my Sceneras, but some people prefer the Tribute for a little easier install. Both are available at Walmart, and both have very similar dimensions, lightweight, price, etc.

The Evenflo Sureride is often recommended as a travel seat, fairly easy to install, fairly light, and lasts a long time as it has high straps (and a decent price). You can find it target, walmart, Kohls, babies r us, etc.

I have almost exactly the same question: I need a travel seat for a 28 lb 19 mo who normally rides in a Radian. When my girls were little I had a Scenera and Tribute which were fine. He'll be FF on the plane and RF in the rental car.

From some quick googling it looks like the options in this thread are:

Scenera: $40, only 30 lb RF
Tribute: $60, only 30 lb RF
Sureride: $95, 40 lb RF

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth another $55 for 10 lb RF. I don't anticipate a lot of plane travel (too expensive!) and we're expecting another so there is the potential for the next kid to use this seat and we'd get a bigger one for the current kid then.

Thoughts? Other seats I should consider?
