Decent car seat for second car?

TwiMom

Sorry for another car seat question but I've been researching and I can't decide what car seat to get for hubby's car!  The Graco My Ride 65 didn't fit in his car at all so it needs to be on the smaller side.  I looked at the Cosco Scenera and it seems decent but only goes to 40 lbs, Evenflo Sureride 65 seems ok too, Evenflo Titan Elite...they are all between $50-100...does anyone use any of these?  Opinions please.  Rear facing is a must and I don't really want to spend too much since she is usually in my car but there are times when DH has her and needs to go places.  Thanks!

We have the cosco sceneca and we are very happy with it.

We have Recaros for both of our car, but we got a stellar deal on them.

For my mom's car we got the Evenflo Triumph 65 LX.

I don't have the other two but since the Cosco is so cheap, I would get rid of the convertible and get the Cosco High Back Booster. I actually have the Cosco convertible in our truck and a Cosco booster in storage for after she hits 40 pounds. I bought both for less than 100.

Oh and they are really the only carseat I have found that fit in the narrow back seat of our truck. Is there a BRU near you where you could try them out in YH vehicle to make sure the other two you are looking at can fit perfectly? I always hit up amazon for reviews from people if nobody I know has any experience with items I am looking to purchase.

I will tell you you're not getting a 65 pound kid in that Evenflo. My 6 year old is 40 pounds and hasn't been in a convertible car seat for a couple years. He's in a backless booster seat. I don't know what your kid weighs now but if they aren't on the big side 40lb weight is plenty.

Thanks everyone!  At least I have some feedback from people that actually have these seats!
