It stays in my ILs car so installation isn't an issue. Given the price and she uses it maybe once a week it's totally fine. It's definitely not as nice as the higher end models but I know it's still highly rated. It gets the job done for less than $50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1524756 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 06:13:32 +0000 Bookish 1524756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @lawbee11: Bummer, sorry ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1524730 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 05:14:10 +0000 Smurfette 1524730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: @lawbee11: I already bought it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1524446 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 20:57:42 +0000 lawbee11 1524446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @Bookish: I just bought it then saw the $5 off code.

I ordered mine from Target last week...it actually came yesterday. With the Red Card I think it was $86. Ah well, I guess $10ish isn't that big a deal, just the principle of the thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1522765 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:52:50 +0000 Smurfette 1522765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @lovehoneybee: How much did you pay for the Sureride?

It's fine FF, but RF is a beast in every car I've tried except my ILs (where it usually is). But the real issue is that they just don't know how to do it correctly, and that makes me so nervous. Which is why I told my parents to buy a Britax - somehow they installed it correctly without directions. It's a pretty good installation design. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1509016 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:03:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 1509016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: The color Nicole is $84.99 at Target but the rest of the colors are $96.99-$99.99. Unfortunately, D won't go for a pink seat ;) Are all of the colors around that price at BRU?</p> <p>ETA: Never mind, I'm on the site now. Thanks for the tip!<br /> ETA2: Actually, with the free shipping and 5% off with my red card at $5 off $50 coupon it's still a couple of bucks cheaper at Target, plus the ebates % is a little bit higher :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1508944 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:50:09 +0000 lawbee11 1508944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: How much is it at Target?

The my ride is a lot easier to install rear facing, the Scenera needs a pool noodle or a towel.</p> <p>Both of my parents can install the Graco. THey had a ton of issues with the Scenera, so in an emergency, I'd feel safer knowing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1508885 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:39:31 +0000 lawbee11 1508885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting an Evenflo Sureride 65 for our lesser-used car. It's more expensive (closer to $100), but the weight limit is 65lbs FF (as opposed to the Tribute I linked to above which is 40lbs). So it'll last much longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1508872 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:37:33 +0000 lawbee11 1508872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I don't own this one but I see it recommended on car seats for littles. </p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-Tribute-Sport-Convertible-Car-Seat-Willa/21670118?action=product_interest&#038;action_type=image&#038;placement_id=irs_middle&#038;strategy=PWVUB&#038;visitor_id=42440754295&#038;category=0%3A5427%3A91365%3A1101435&#038;client_guid=8cad329c-bbfe-45c2-933c-38e31704792c&#038;config_id=0&#038;parent_item_id=21670123&#038;guid=19e75c3c-82cb-44f3-a855-11ffa62f27a0&#038;bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&#038;findingMethod=p13n" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-Tribute-Sport-Convertible-Car-Seat-Willa/21670118?action=product_interest&#038;action_type=image&#038;placement_id=irs_middle&#038;strategy=PWVUB&#038;visitor_id=42440754295&#038;category=0%3A5427%3A91365%3A1101435&#038;client_guid=8cad329c-bbfe-45c2-933c-38e31704792c&#038;config_id=0&#038;parent_item_id=21670123&#038;guid=19e75c3c-82cb-44f3-a855-11ffa62f27a0&#038;bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&#038;findingMethod=p13n</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1508852 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:35:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 1508852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lucie's List lists the Cosco Scenara as a decent $50-ish seat, bare-bones but good for travel or as a spare. </p> <p><a href="http://www.lucieslist.com/best-convertible-car-seats/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lucieslist.com/best-convertible-car-seats/</a></p> <p>ETA: I don't have it, so I can't speak to it personally, I've just been looking for a second car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-car-seat-less-then-50-for-grandparents#post-1508839 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:32:09 +0000 Smurfette 1508839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get one to keep at my parents house as just in case of emergency.
