Help - 2009 Recaro Como G2 - keep or replace?

[gofastchickenwing]

I have a Recaro Como G2 with a manufacture date of 6/25/09. This was my now 7.5 year old daughter's convertible seat (she is now in a Recaro high back booster).

I have a 9 month old baby that is about to outgrow her infant seat.

The Como has been stored in our basement for a few years. Apparently, one of our cats peed on it. I took it all apart, but it's down to the foam. I contacted Recaro and asked about replacement foam/straps, and it would cost at least $40 to replace those.

Ok, given that the seat has about 1.5 years left in its lifespan, but my new daughter will need one for at least the lifespan of a new one (~6ish years) and I'd have to spend at least $40 to get replacement parts....I should just get a new seat, right?

I would. I only liked that seat for forward facing anyway . I feel your pain, though. My Como with two years left on it got moldy and I chose to just toss it. Bummer.

That seat is a killer rear-facing! Haha

I've been out of the loop for convertibles for a while now - suggestions for a 2013 Kia Sorento? I only have two across

There are lots of great convertibles! The first that spring to mind are the Graco MySize/Size4Me/HeadWise and Chicco NextFit. The Evenflo SureRide seems popular, too. Of course, there's Britax, Maxi Cosi Pria, Diono, the Peg Perego convertible and the Foonf. So many!
