We are visiting my mom in Florida and she has a Toyota Prius. I'd like to purchase 2 convertible car seats to use in her car. My daughter is 5 and is approx 42.5 inches and 37 pounds. My son is almost 3 and is approx 36 inches and weights 34 pounds. What would be a safe seat that would fit in her car? Thank you!

Your daughter sounds pretty small. There are some seats she could still rear-face in for awhile, but I'm guessing you probably have her forward-facing.

If she is FF it would make more sense to get her a combination seat (harnessed that converts to a belt-positioning booster) rather than a convertible.

The Evenflo Maestro would be a budget seat to look into for an infrequently-used car like this. Its biggest downside is that the booster mode is outgrown by height at about the same time as the harness is outgrown.

Other well-liked midrange combo seats to look at include the Harmony Defender, Graco Nautilus and Argos, and Evenflo SecureKid.
