looking for convertible for small baby.. opinions and pics wanted

[amandav]

I am looking for a convertible car seat for my 2mo old - *to go in a 2nd row bucket seat in a 2004 Honda Odyssey
- easy to install
- easy to adjust straps
- and is RF good to at least 35 prefer 40lbs
- good FF to at least 50
- I dont think DH will let me spend over $200 on a seat, including shipping.

would love it if I could get some suggestions on some seats,
also pics of their little one in the seat would help too
THANKS

one seat I wanted to mention that I am looking at is the myride 65, I am really digging the cup holders, lol.

Do you need this in a three across, or have you got three rows of seats to put the kids in?

I don't think there is a space issue??

No, not really. The My Ride is a good choice, the Learning Curve True Fit is good, Evenflo Triumph 65, and the Combi Coccoro.

The coccoro has a 40# forward facing weight limit and a 33# rearfacing weight limit (and will often be outgrown by height, rearfacing, before 33#), so that one doesn't really fit your preferences.

I'd also look at the evenflo momentum and the Britax roundabout55.

I have an 05' Ody, pretty much ANY convertible is a good fit for the captains chair. I've had an old style Marathon/Boulevard, Radian, MyRide, Scenera, etc...you get the picture :thumbsup: None of them had issues! I've never tried a cco, so I can't speak for it's install.

The MR fits with the front passenger seat all the way back.

I think the MR is the only seat that meets all your criteria. The True Fit is a close second, but it only rfs to 40lbs, but it has a taller shell.

Duh, you're right.

The TF rear faces to 35 pounds, not 40. We wish. I'm sure you know that, since by the tone of your post it sounds like you meant to type it, but I wanted to make it clear.

I the way the MR fits LO's.

Here are pics of my guy when he was 5 weeks and then 5 months in the MR and the TF:
