I need to get a seat for my MIL's car. It won't be used often but needs to fit my 6.5 yo. and 3.5 yo. who both weigh 40 lbs. It needs to be a no rethread adjust so she can do it easily without uninstalling the seat. Budget is also under $200 and even better if it's closer to $150. With all that I'm looking at the Britax Pioneer, Graco Argos, and Harmony Defender.......I looked at the Pioneer today and it seemed ok, going tomorrow to see the Argos and Defender but my biggest concern is which would be the easiest to install. She has a Lexus SUV (smaller sized one) if that makes a difference. Can anyone help me out? I am so torn between them and at this point just need to pick one and be done.

I did but the only seat mentioned there is the Argos and I was just wondering if anyone could comment on real life installation for me.

I'm guessing the Nautilus and Argos install similarly. I never had trouble installing the Nautilus in the four cars I've had it in (Nissan Versa, RAV4, Hyundai Elantra and some rental sedan that I don't recall). I found it 100x easier than the Pioneer (to be fair, I only tried that in one car). I really like the Recaro Performance Sport, the open belt path makes it easy to install and it's $200 right now on Amazon. But I'm not positive it can be adjusted while installed or at least not with the TT hooked.
