My Ride 65 vs True Fit & True fit c650 vs c670

[amandav]

sprouting off from the other post I started..
I seem to be leaning towards the True fit and the MyRide 65, more towards the TF. also True Fit c630 vs c670 whats the differences.. and are they worth it??

I was trying to find a list of the stats for MR and TF to compare side by side
My Ride65 -
RF to 40lbs
FF to 65lbs
height to 49"
cup holders - 2
expiration 6yrs

True Fit - hear its way easy to install, and the straps are easy adjust
RF to 35lbs
FF to 65
height to 50"
cup holders - 0
expiration 7 yrs

.from my previous post-
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

Ignore the overall heights. It'd be a short torsoed 49" or 50" child who still fit in those seats. My daughter would have outgrown the My Ride forward facing by torso height (about 16") around five, and the True Fit around 6.5 (17.5" top slots).

You can see my baby in our True Fit Premier (C670) in my siggy pic. The C650 is between the regular (the C630) and the Premier. It doesn't have the antirebound bar of the Premier, but it does have the bubble level indicator, color coded everything. yellow recline bar. All three are the same size and work and install in the same way. It's just the features you get on them that are different. And the covers.

Generally, I like the My Ride for shorter torsoed or heavier kids, the True Fits for the longer and leaner kids. Since my older daughter didn't hit 35 pounds until 5.5 years old, I felt fine going with the True Fit for my second. She's heavier than her sister, proportionally, but she'll still be five before she hits 35 pounds. Piper fit in the True Fit rear facing by height at seven years old. So that's what I was more interested in. Conversely, she would have outgrown the My Ride by rear facing height around four, I think.

My Ride at nearly seven years old:

Two months later in the True Fit:

She would have had more room in the TF had it not been installed for my baby to be at that point.

So, if you feel you'll need the weight, go with the MR. If you feel the height will be more important, go with the TF. Or, they're both great seats, pick which one you like a cover of better. hehe

its so hard to choose.. seems my kids have been about average. my older DD is a tiny on the taller and more lean side, and the other on the shorter side average weight... both pretty close to the middle of average
this one hes only 2mo but hes in the middle at around 50%

I decided on the True Fit Premier! the ultimate thing that sold me was the Latch clips. of course the seat as a whole sold me too, but that was the thing that pushed me over
huge thanks!

Just to add: My TF (regular) came with a cup holder. I see you already made your decision and I'm sure this isn't really important but as long as they haven't changed anything there's a cup holder (removable too!).

at one point the cup holder was high on the list.. and I did not know it came with a cup holder. Thats something they need to add to the info online! I only saw the cup holder on the pics of the c650 and c670!
also I had to search and search for what the latch buckles looked like, cause I had a hunch what I thought they looked like, but I needed to see them to know for sure!
something their marketing team should look into
