Can you tell me anything about this seat?

[Melaine]

since it's such a good markdown, unless this is one of those unrealistic starting prices that Amazon does. I don't know anything about it and am wondering how it might compare to the Uptown? Thanks!!

The 3 in 1 seats have low top harness slots, 15" vs. Uptown which is 16". If you take off the base of this seat it makes an ok seat rear facing, otherwise its a PITA to instal. It also makes a very poor booster. I would stick with the idea of either an Uptown or Avenue

Thanks, just thought I'd ask....tempted by the markdown....what would you say a good price on uptown or avenue would be? I never heard of them until today.

I, too, agree that you would probably be happier with the uptown or avenue over the 3-in-1. The only way I would recommend the 3-in-1 seat is if it was one of the newer released cosco alpha omega seats which has the harness to 50 pounds and has the higher slot height. Those are pretty new though so most of the seats you see online or in the stores will still be the older 40lb limit/low slot seat. The newer ones still don't make good boosters so it really should only be looked at as a convertible seat and not a convertible+booster seat.

MY 2 year old outgrew that same seat at 23 lbs 35 inches.They s***k.In my opinion of course.But the uptown we are at the top slots with plenty of head room left.

I have seen the Avenue @ Kmart & Sears. I have seen the Uptown at some Big Lots & you can order it though Walmart.

The avenue is actually nice.I love the blk and silver.

Sears had the Avenue last week at $ 74.99

Thanks so much guys! Ya'll are so quick to respond now I will just hunt down the best price on the uptown or avenue. I'll rule out the alpha omega I think based on your advice!
