Car seat for 2012 Honda pilot

Unregistered · Sep 13, 2015

Hello. My little guy is 17 months old. Hes on the lower end of scale for height and weight (about 20th percentile). He's currently in a britax that is due to expire in 2016. I drive a 2012 Honda Pilot. Other passengers include my six year old who's in a high back booster. What convertible seat do you recommend for my vehicle? I want to take advantage of the car seat trade sale going on at babies r us.

Thanks in advance.

Car seat recommendation for 2012 honda pilot

17 month old currently in britax due to expire in 2016. I want to take advantage of the car seat trade sale going on at babies r us. What seat do you recommend for my vehicle? I am willing to spend up to $300. Little one is on the lower end of the scale (around 20th percentile) for height and weight. He was around 23 lbs at his 15 month check up. Other passengers include 6 year old in high back booster.
Thanks.

When in 2016 will your Britax expire? Does your son still fit in it? BRU does another trade-in in January/February, so it might be best for you to wait, if possible. New seats are often "unveiled" at the ABC Expo in October.

If he will outgrow it before the winter trade-in, or your current seat is expiring right away in Jan, then I agree that this would be a good time to get a new seat. Your vehicle is also one that is good for car seats, if I recall correctly. The Graco 4ever is a great seat and retails at about $300 just about everywhere. The Chicco Nextfit is one of my favorites too. I like the Britax seats, but they are often "full price" at BRU (whereas elsewhere they are deeply discounted) and so I would make sure to check your math before using a trade-in coupon for one of them.

Really, at your budget, there are plenty of great seats. I would recommend trying them out in your car and seeing which one you like best.
