Next seat (am I looking for a unicorn?)

Thinking ahead to this spring, when my twins turn four. I'm going to flip them in my mom's van. They currently use Surerides in that vehicle, but the twisty straps and continuous harness are becoming problematic.

So, I want the perfect grandparent seat for FF. Booster function not required, do not care if it is a convertible or a combination seat.

Needs: fairly lightweight, easy install, suuuuper easy to use harness.

Children are about 37" and 30lbs. at 3.5 years. Mildly long torsos but they are so short it doesn't really matter [emoji57] I will FF them until 6 years or 40lbs.

Vehicle is 2012 Odyssey. They ride outboard, middle row, and the seats don't need to be able to slide.

Ooh, nice price too! I like the black model. I was playing with some of the newer Graco seats this weekend and was really impressed with how smooth the adjusters were.

The only worry with the Tranzitions and Atlas is that they have hook-style latch connectors. Depending on the accessibility of the latch anchors and the difficulty of the seatbelt install, this may or may not be an issue as far as ease of install.

The seat belt install is amazing!

ETA, the LATCH install is great too if someone doesn't mind the hook style anchors.

They are used to the hook LATCH connectors on the Sureride, and the Odyssey has ridiculously accessible anchors [emoji4]

Oh good! Yeah, the Tranzitions or the atlas would be a great bet, then. The atlas doesn't become backless, but it has cup holders and reclines and has easy harness storage for when you use it in booster mode, which is nice.
