Question Infant seat for middle (8th) seat Odyssey

We have a brand new baby, and a Clek Fllo for her to ride in. She's a little over 7 pounds now, and should fit fine in the infant thingy insert, but she just seems too small. The straps dig into her neck on one side and stick off her shoulders on the other. The hip strap are too wide and inflexible to tighten well over her bendy newborn legs. And probably worse, the head wings are too far apart, so when we turn a corner, I have to support her head, because it will flop from one head wing to the other. Obviously, I can't always be sitting next to her, because at some point soon I will need to resume driving myself.

So, I'm now thinking we should get an infant seat to use until she grows into this one. I'm hoping to not get a really expensive one, since I bought an expensive convertible, thinking it would be the only seat we would use until she outgrew it. Whatever seat I get a needs to fit in the second row middle seat of a Honda Odyssey, with enough clearance for seats on each side of it to be able to slide forward to allow back row access. I'm transporting five kids. The Fllo was perfect for this. Is there an infant seat that will allow the same? I'm looking at the Evenflo LiteMax, i'm wondering if that would be a good choice.

So the very cheapest option would be a Cosco Scenera NEXT. It's not an infant seat, but it installs beautifully in the +1 (assuming you're talking about a 2011+ Odyssey) and it fits newborns well, and is narrow enough that the captain's chairs can tumble.

For actual infant seats, the Chicco Keyfit works great there, but is probably more than you are looking to spend. I'm not sure what other infant seats work there.

I would suggest talking to Clek about your concerns. I have seen pictures of 5 lb babies fitting well in the infant thingy, so maybe they would have some advice and suggestions for you.

That's a good idea I hadn't considered. I will try to snap a picture of her in it to show them. I really like the Fllo and think it will work great once she's a little bigger. If we can make it work now as well, all the better

I like my Fllo as well, and from what I have heard, Clek has great customer service. Good luck!
