Carseat for Honda CRV?

ElloPoppet

MIL is getting a new car and will most likely choose the CRV. We'd like to get a carseat for her car for $100 or less. I thought we had some CRV drivers here - any recs?

I have a britax blvd in my CR-V (I have a 2004) in the middle seat (still RFing).  Obviously it's not in the $100 range, but I think you can get just about anything in there.

We have the Evenflo Titan Elite in DH's car.  It's $100 but if you get it with a coupon @ BRU, it'd be less.

my grandpa has a crv, i think its a 2004 or 2005, anyway, we have a fisher price  carseat(sorry i can't remember the exact name.) that is the knockoff of the britax marathon, so it's the exact same only no cow print cover. 

sorry i know this isn't helpful at all!!  i do know ours was like $109 and it is very easy to install only we have a lot of trouble using the lock clip with it, and you need that to install it in the middle seats, or you can use the latch on the side seats.   when i get a chance, i'll run out to the car and check which model it is and let you know!  i really like it and wish that we had a crv lol.

I have an older CR-V. I tried TONS of car seats in my car. Every single one I tried fit in the middle of the back seat with the front seats pushed all the way back. If you go somewhere like Target or BRU you can give them your drivers license and take some of the floor model car seats and try them out in your car. That's what I did.

Thanks everyone!
