Hi I am a grandma and occasionally babysit for my 3 year old granddaughter who is petite . What is the best car seat for her while I’m caring for her to use and easy to install for me as I need to replace an expired one , one that doesn’t cost a lot but is very safe . I drive an Acura suv .A couple of suggestions would be appreciated so I can price shop around . I live in New Jersey . Thank you for you time. All suggestions well appreciated . Thanks

Hi! I would start here: https://carseatblog.com/safest-recommended-car-seats/. If she's still rear-facing, skip the Graco Contender (the LATCH install is hard on that one) and go to the Graco Size4Me or MySize.

If she's forward-facing, I'd look at the Graco Atlas, Graco Nautilus 65, or the Evenflo Maestro Sport (that's the updated Maestro).

Everything is pretty easy to install in an Acura SUV. Don't forget to attach the top tether if she's forward-facing. The tether anchor is on the back of the vehicle seat.
