Which convertible has the lowest slots?

HEVY · Nov 20, 2008

Basically says it all, can't get stats from online.

lowest for an infant, or lowest will be outgrown the soonest?

HEVY · Nov 20, 2008

Sorry, lowest for infant.

I don't have the exact measurements, but I know the Radian and Scenera have very low bottom slots. I believe the Titan does, too. I have no idea which is lowest.

The Scenera is about 7.5". The Radian80 and the Avenue are both about 9", but with the infant padding seem to fit similarly to the Scenera.

Evenflos are usually really super low. I wonder if (Carseat Data website closed - link broken) is useful at all anymore

It seems they were adding new seats in but still haven't finished yet.

The Scenera fits newborns very well, and I think the Titan is slightly lower. The True Fit is low, but I don't know the exact measurement. I'm sure it's floating around here somewhere.

My old ComfortSport bottom slots measured 6".

Bottom slots on the TF are low, but only if used with the padding, I think. Same for the EFTA.

The Maxi Cosi Priori also has VERY low bottom slots. I remember seeing them and thinking a preemie could even have them "at or below"...

The Evenflo Tribute has low bottom slots. They have redesigned it so now it has 4 harness slots instead of just 3. It also has infant padding. I saw one in person today and and it actually seemed pretty nice.

You know, I emailed evenflo asking when the new seat with 4 slots would be out and the lady said she was not aware of any changes. I wish I had that tribute instead of the old one with the brown checked cover on it. I can't see actually buying the seat with such a low rfing limit though. Hopefully I'll have a boy and won't have any great desire for a cute, pink seat. (Baby is going to be in the tribute.)

Thanks for the replies. I think my DD has to use an infant seat, anything wrong with the discovery? I think I used that with Rachel. My thinking, of course is to spend as little money as possible so when I do get the convertible it will be an EH one. I don't think I could use the Scenera for an infant, I was looking at it yesterday and it really bugged me. I did finally see an Avenue but the slots are too high. I was looking at the pics of the Priori and they look high too, wasn't fond of that seat, seemed too hard. But I will look again when i go to the store. My DD is not paying attention to how difficult it is to properly harness an infant in a convertible, as opposed to doing it in the home.

I actually thought the RF limit had changed to 35 lbs but I just looked it up and you're right. So it's probably not the best option. I wonder why it stayed at 30 lbs when all the other Evenflo seats changed to 35 lbs?

mom2juliarose · Nov 20, 2008

If you search for MC Priori on here there is a thread that links to a message on BabyCenter which shows the bottom slot being measured at 6". But its shell is shorter than the Scenera and is more $$ (I think it's like $199) so it doesn't seem worth it.

ketchupqueen · Nov 20, 2008

The ETA has super-low bottom limit-- I think I'm bringing my next one home in that!

BabyKaykes · Nov 20, 2008

I didn't used to think that the Evenflo buckets were bad, especially when used correctly, but after evenflo's last 'fix' I don't trust them. I'd get the basic $80 SnugRide over an Evenflo any day.

LISmama810 · Nov 20, 2008

I'm not a fan of the Discovery, in part because it needs 1.5 inches (or is it just 1?) of clearance between the handle (which must be down) and the front seat, and in part because of the ridiculous way Evenflo handled the recall. If she uses that seat, make SURE it's a new one.

The Priori does have very low slots, but it won't last as long as some of your other options.

Why not the TrueFit?

joolsplus3 · Nov 20, 2008

I'd keep an eye on the Swap board for an infant seat if it were me... unless she already HAS an Evenflo infant seat? I wouldn't spend any money on one, personally.
