We have two infant seats and three babies on the way. We want to spend as little money as possible, because we have plenty of convertible car seats, but none will fit a preemie. I don't care if we need to use pool noodles or rolled towels to get a proper recline. I just need something to last the first few months so that my babies can all be safe in the car.

The Cosco light and comfy is probably the cheapest infant only seat and it has 5.5 in lowest slot height and starts at 4 lbs, so should fit a preemie well. The reviews I looked at show a 4 lb, 17 in preemie doll having an excellent fit.

If one of the babies makes it to 5 lbs before using a seat, the Cosco scenera next should fit a preemie nicely as well- if you don't mind baby wearing one at all times. It has 5 in lowest slots but a 5 lb minimum.

The Urbini Petal is also a great choice. It even has a European style baseless install option. The Light and Comfy is also pretty decent, it fits preemies beautifully and is very cheap. I'm also in love with the Scenera Next, it's literally the only convertible I'd personally use from birth. It'll fit a preemie but the weight minimum is an issue.
