Looking for back up car seat that could fit all 3 boys

Very rarely, my husband will take one child out while I'm taking the other two somewhere else. Is there a CHEAP back up car seat that can face front and back? I would love to find one that would work for whoever was in the car. I have a RF 8 month old (23 lb.), a FF 2 1/2 year old (29 lb) and a FF 4 year old (41 lb). My husband drives a 97 Nissan Pathfinder. I don't think that it has latch. We usually need a car seat in that car 2-3 times a month on local trips to the grocery store or baby sitter.

Or if it's better to get 2 separate car seats one for the baby and one for the older ones, we could do that to!

Thanks!

Try the evenflo triumph advance. It rearfaces to 35 pounds and ff's to 50 with high top slots. The harness is infinite adjust, so no rethreading for each kid. Base model is $130.

I'd either go with a TrueFit (maybe learning curve will ahve another sale) or something for the baby and the older boys. You could get a scenera and an Apex .

I would go with the Compass/The First Years True Fit. The red plastic tabs on the Evenflo Triumph Advance bug me, as do the adjustment knobs. It's super easy to change the harness height in the True Fit, too.

You can get the True Fit at www.strollerdepot.com for $180 shipped right now.

Hmmm... I was really hoping for something cheaper, but that gives me two good options to look into. Maybe I should just stick to moving the carseats back and forth for a while. I'll have to talk to DH about it. Thanks for your input!
