Need help choosing new seats

Hello everyone. Long time no see.

Well last go around you all helped me greatly in deciding on a britax frontier 90 and a pria maxicosi for my girls. Since the. We have went to all frontier 90's

Well this time it's for grandma and grandpas car.
The girls are 3 and 5. They are actually almost the same size. 30 and 33 lbs. 39" and 40" respectively.

They ride with my parents at least 1-2x a week. Sometimes more.

I'm looking for something easy. Right now we move the frontiers back and forth which is ok but it's time for their own seats.

My dad of course wants REALLY EASY. He has some flimsy $5 booster and he thinks it's great for my 5 year old cuz it weights 1lb and is small.

So I'm looking for advice. I've looked at something like a turbo booster but I'm just not sure.

I've though about 2 more frontier 90's (I've bought 4 so far) but it's kinda ouch at $400 for a pair. And I don't think dad will carry them all the time which puts us right back where we started.

So where should I look. What is a easy to move seat for fairly small girls that won't break the bank?? (I don't ask much do I?).


Thank again. You all are always a great help.

Dad.

Maybe something like this but a little nicer?? Light weight and still has a harness. Gotta be better than "on grandmas lap"!!!!

Definitely not that one. It has very short top harness slots. They may have outgrown it already.

If you want a really easy install, check out the Evenflo SecureKid DLX. (The DLX is important.) It's lightweight, and super simple to install with LATCH.

If you want to go cheaper, the Evenflo Maestro would work, too.

Thx for the reply.

I was actually at Kmart today and picked up the Cosco seat pictured. Brought it home and played with it with my 4yr old. Yep, deffinatly not gonna work. It fits right now but if she grows any at all it will be to little and I know that grandma and grandpa won't know to check it so scratch that. Return it is

So I'm like if your recommendation on the maestro. Looks light enough with plenty of adjustment.

Hmmmmm

I have the maestro for my second car... It's great. Inexpensive and light weight. My dd is a tall three year old. She rides in it about 1-2 per week.
