It has good reviews, seems really sturdy and well-made and the materials are nice and soft. I like it. It's also usable up to 100lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-712592 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:12:09 +0000 MamaCate 712592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: right, so the years will totally depend on how fast your kiddo hits those milestones, so it is hard to predict. I don't know what a typical age is for those but you could check the cdc growth charts?</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: our britaxes fit in the back of our little honda civic and toyota corolla. I was worried about this too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-712465 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:42:24 +0000 808love 712465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evenflo Triumph and the Graco are both awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708835 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:55:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 708835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: especially if you have #2 anytime within 3 years.

The number at the end of the model is often the weight limit, i.e. we have a britax pavilion 70 which means it is rated to 70 lbs. Our second carseat is a britax roundabout 55 so it is not good for as long. I think the height limit is around 48 inches? Most seats should say--make sure to ask about height too though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708763 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:27:16 +0000 kiddosc 708763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one, its on sale right now to fit in your price range! I love the way the straps adjust, no rethreading, and all the extra safety features. Plus is was important to me to find a seat that would fit him until he is big enough for a booster. Not all convertible seats have high enough height limits to get you to booster stage and I didn't want to drop another few hundred dollars on a second set of seats. <a href="http://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&#038;url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D13069715&#038;domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com" rel="nofollow">http://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&#038;url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D13069715&#038;domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708669 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:55:02 +0000 Mrsbells 708669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: For under $150 i think the Graco MyRide 65 convertible seat is a good deal.

Love them both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708652 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:50:38 +0000 babycrz 708652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evenflo Triumph is around $150 and gets the highest ratings from Consumer Reports. Ratings are on par with (or higher even) than the 2x as expensive Britax. I like the way the harness tightens though it takes using it once or twice to get used to it. The shoulder straps are super easy to adjust so you get the right fit every time. It's convertible. We kept my son backwards til 2 in it and now have it turned around.</p> <p>I'm getting ready to buy two more for my 8 month old (1 for each car). We already have 2 for my 2.5 yr old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708631 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:45:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 708631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the Safety 1st carseat we got from Costco - it was around $60! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-carseat-under-150#post-708483 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:15:55 +0000 sera_87 708483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any recs? It's coming time to switch him out of the infant seat :'(</p> <p>Also, how long are carseats good for? Too lazy right now to go searching - indulge me? ;) </p>
