I'm sure the convertible car seat question has been asked several times before but I will be in the market for one pretty soon since my LO has only 2 inches left in the infant seat before he outgrows it.
I need something that's really affordable since we will have to buy two (one for each car) but also obviously safe and comfy for my DS. I have a small car (Toyota Echo) and my husband drives a truck (Honda Ridgeline) so I would like something that fits both easily.
I believe the one's from Evenflo got good ratings on cost & performance but I want to hear from actual users of this brand. Which one from their line did you go with and why? What was the price range ($-$$$) and was it simple to install & use, does your LO like it?
Re: Convertible Car Seats (Evenflo)
we have the evenflo triumph advance and so far so good. DS likes it.. it is easy to install & the price was right for us.
We have a Murano and it fits in it well.
We have the Evenflo Tribute ($60 - we had to buy 3!) My DH said it was really easy to install and DD doesn't mind it - meaning that she's comfortable to fall asleep in it, but never was a fan of being trapped!

Thank you so much ladies! I will take these reviews and discuss it with the hubby.
One other question. Do the convertible car seats come with a 5 point harness or is that a feature of infant car seats only?
Oh wait I have another question.
Can convertible car seats go in the middle of the car or only on the sides?
