Cheap CS option for 5lbers

[illumini]

So my dh's job fell through so I'm back at square one. Due end of august/beginning of September with #2. I may not have a 5lber like my ds but I need to be prepared for it as it is a very likely option. We have a Nissan Versa with a rf CA for ds.

I need to know what would be the cheapest option for ds#2. I would rather a convertible but I'm open to possibly getting a bucket seat. Has to have super low bottom slots. If I have to spend 200$ I will but I would rather not. I really wanted a CCO (and may still get one) but I may be forced financially in another direction.

Thanks!

A safety first onboard 35? I believe the retro'd the 4 pound minimum, some bases are better, but the plain one isn't bad, and it can be found for ~100. Some more, I think a few less.

Walmart, target, amazon, etc sell.

Here is the onboard 35 with the adjustable base and lock off for 110 from albee. Good seat. Fits preemies (4 pound minimum), has built in lock off for the seat belt. Should last at least a year.

The Comfy Carry ranges from $60 to $80 for their different models. Awesome low slots (rated from 4lb) just like the OnBoard.

You probably don't need a stroller, but one of my Targets had this for $88...

Evenflo Titan with infant insert may fit a 5#er and it's pretty cheap. It won't get you to a safe booster age/size, but may fit to around 3yo.
