Question Complete Air 65 or MyRide 65? - Canada

saskatoonymommy · Apr 19, 2012

I have a 10 month old baby girl who will be out growing her infant seat soon. Last month she weighed 20lbs and was 28.5". Her current seat is a Graco SafeSeat and the limits on it are 30lbs and 32". The seat is a hand-me-down from our son born in 2008. We have a 2008 Honda Ody and DS is FF in capt chair driver side and DS is in her infant seat in other capt chair passenger side. DS is FF in a GN.

I have had my eye on the CA and the MR. Both are $200 which is about what I would like to spend. I guess I am sitting on the fence......lol! Do those 2 sound like good options? Preferences? Any other suggestions? And we live in Canada too.

Also, the convertible would have to fit RF in my sister's 2006 Corolla because I have to travel out of town for meetings a few times a month and she so kindly takes care of the kiddies!

(DH is a truck driver and usually gone during the week two) oh, and I guess I could add that DH's vehicle is a 2005 F350 truck but I don't think fitting a seat in there would be an issue.

Whew! I hope that covers it all but I am sure I left something out.

I own both and like them. I found that the Myride gives us more room for the front seats in my Cavalier.

I would make sure if you get a CA to get one of the newer ones that has two lines on the side to allow for multiple angles, otherwise the company insists that it be installed at a 45* angle, which makes the front seat unusable in many cars. Also I think in Canada the CA has a 36" height limit for RF.

I own both. For my car I preferred the complete air. By using the more upright install, I was able to have the front seats in a comfortable position(I'm quite tall) but not so much with the my ride. We have that in my DH's car which is much larger than mine and it fits like a glove.

Both seats are easy to use and dd seems very comfy.
