Just a different color!<br /> I will say it has a large footprint but fits in my Nissan Altima. We do have the passenger seat pushed up a bit but it isn't uncomfortable for me to ride in (i'm 5'5"). He fits great, has plenty of room (and is already tall at 31" at 9 months) and the straps are soooo easy to use compared to our Graco Snugride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156109 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:11:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1156109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Is it similar to this one?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Complete-Air-Seat/dp/B008A3UIBA/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1382044228&#038;sr=1-8&#038;keywords=safety+1st+complete+air" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Complete-Air-Seat/dp/B008A3UIBA/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1382044228&#038;sr=1-8&#038;keywords=safety+1st+complete+air</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156107 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:10:37 +0000 lemondrop 1156107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are really happy with our Graco My Ride 65. It's big, but I think would fit well in a car forward facing. I got it for $120ish during a BRUS online sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156106 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:10:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1156106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: Yes! My mom wanted to get the Safety 1st ALpha Omega Elite, (it's only $89 at Costco), but then she realized that the weight limit is super low so she would just have to replace it soon anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156101 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:09:06 +0000 pl0508 1156101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the safety first complete air and got it for about 120 from Albee baby and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156098 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:07:54 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1156098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was literally coming to write this exact type of post! My parents want to get a car seat for our 1 year old for when we come visit them. I don't want something expensive because he'd only use it 2-3 times a year. I'd like a large height/weight limit so they'll get their money's worth, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-inexpensive-convertibles-with-highish-weight-limits#post-1156065 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:55:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1156065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We need to buy a second convertible for DD for my husband's car.</p> <p>Right now she is in a Recaro Proride in my car, but we need a convertible for DH's car when he drops her off/picks her up from Nana's house while I am at work. </p> <p>We spent a lot of money on her Recaro, so we don't want to get another pricey seat. However, I don't want to get a cheap seat that she will grow out of in a year.</p> <p>Does anyone have any recommendations for convertibles that are safe/good quality/have high weight limits?</p> <p>I am looking at the First Years True Fit C670. It is $175 which would be my MAX.</p> <p>THANKS IN ADVANCE!</p> <p>ETA: DH said he wants to keep it around $100.</p> <p>The car is an Acura TL. </p>
