Our first daughter (and only child, so no previous experience here...) is about to outgrow her infant car seat, so we're needing recommendations on what to get next. Problem is, she pretty routinely rides in 3 different cars -- both of ours, and my sister's, who watches her a few days a week.
Here's the relevant info:
Daughter: Almost 11 months old, 29", 21lb.
2013 Nissan Leaf: Primary car for short local drives.
2003 Subaru Outback: Used for medium-long trips, also frequently used for local drives.
2015 Dodge Caravan: Sister's vehicle, she'll only be in there for really short local drives.
I think that we'd like to not spend too much on the seat for my sister's car -- don't need many bells and whistles on that one, just safety. Would be nice if it could switch from rear-facing to forward-facing.
Don't really know what features we should be looking at for the other two. Would like to keep overall costs somewhat reasonable, but we're not constrained by a tight budget.
Thanks in advance! Let me know if there's any more info that would help.
