Poll time!

What seat would you use for a 2 year old as a back up seat? Child is 27 lbs, 33" tall and is a new 2 year old. I'm not talking about "down the road", I'm talking about NOW! So, if you had to grab one of these seats TODAY and use it, which would it be? GN or FF Coccoro?

ETA: these are your ONLY choices for this poll. These are seats I already own and this is purely for a "what if" but very highly unlikely scenario. Like, if a giant anvil was dropped on our 2 cars with M's seats, and my parents and the 2 year old's babysitter were out of state with their seats for the 2 year old type scenario.

Ouch. :p If I had to run out today, I'd grab an Apt, the new Titan, a Graco convertible... There are so many long lasting inexpensive convertibles, I have a hard time voting for a FF seat. (And I tend not be nearly as ERF passionate as many here.) :eek:

But the GN beats the CCO hands down unless you fly often, take cabs, etc.

ETA: Now I see ketchups reply below, I can't see siggys on my phone. I'd say they're equal in that case. :)

They're both seats you have already, I'm assuming this is why those two. I'd choose whichever she fit in more comfortably.

My 2 year old son is about that size. If I had to buy a back up seat for him, I think it'd be a Graco My Ride. If I wanted something that he could use to booster mode, I'd try the Graco Size 4 Me seat I've been reading so much about on here lately. (I think it goes to booster? I've read about so many seats today, I'd have to double check!)

I realize that doesn't really answer your question, but to do so, I'd choose a GN, which I am hopefully buying tomorrow as a back up seat for my 5.5 year old.

Yes, these are seats we currently own that aren't being used. Dh and I got into a discussion of "what if" today and it came up as to what he could use if there was a reason he HAD to get a ride from someone and none of the other seats were available for the 2 year old. I'm not planning on FF the 2 year old any time soon. It is purely a "what if" scenario. You know, like a giant anvil was dropped on our cars, squishing her seats and my parents and M's sitter were hours away with the seats that they have. A very unlikely "what if" scenario. lol

In that case I'd go with whichever one is easier for him to install and use correctly without your help. :)

I don't think it makes a difference, honestly - the CCO would be better if you needed to transport all three, but the GN is easier to install, so it's probably those factors that would make my decision.

Has she outgrown the CCO RF already?!
