You’ll also need to rethread the harness each time you want to adjust the fit of the straps. Installation can be a bit tricky depending on your vehicle, so we recommend watching this video before you get started.
#BUDGET CAR INSTALL#
There’s no LATCH install option for this seat-it’s seatbelt only. It’s also FAA-approved and is the perfect seat to take along on your next plane trip to keep your little one safe and secure. At just over 10 pounds, it’s much lighter than the average convertible seat, making it a great option for city families who regularly rely on taxis or ride shares. The Next is also one of our favorite picks for travel.
The Next features side-impact protection and a slim profile (three-across works in most vehicles) as well as an adjustable five-point harness and a removable cup holder. For the same price as a few weeks of Starbucks, you can buy a car seat that’s sturdy, safe and easy to clean. This rear- and forward-facing seat is a solid choice for many reasons, but the two standout ones are cost and weight. Known for their safe, no-frills car seats at unbelievably affordable prices, Cosco seats definitely deserve a spot on our best-of budget convertible car seats list-and the Scenera Next is one of our favorites.
Tricky to get a secure install in some vehicles. The Extend2Fit is also not a great choice if you plan to forward-face your child before they reach 40 pounds thanks to a strange rule that requires the seat to be at a specific incline setting, resulting in an install that’s almost impossible to get right. While that may be great news for your little one’s seemingly unquenchable thirst, Kimmenau notes that it does make the seat on the wider side, so it’s not a good choice if you’re looking for more room in your back seat or need to install three seats across. This seat has two cup holders that are required to be attached. The Extend2Fit tends to fit all ages of kids well, from smaller newborns to larger school-aged kids, and features a six-position recline, easy LATCH install and a 10-position no-rethread harness. (Graco also added an extendable leg rest to this seat that gives kids an extra five inches of legroom to make extended rear-facing even more comfy.) Kimmenau also likes that this seat can sit almost upright when rear-facing, allowing taller parents or parents with smaller cars to still get a good fit. The Extend2Fit allows kids to rear-face until 50 pounds, an important feature since a growing body of research continues to prove that riding rear-facing is safer for babies and children than riding forward-facing. That’s because of three main reasons: a high rear-facing weight limit, easy installation and a great fit in almost any type of car. The Graco Extend2Fit is Kimmenau’s top pick for a more affordable convertible car seat and is the number one pick among many other CPSTs, too. /BudgetRentalCarTimBoyleGetty-56a852865f9b58b7d0f20f99.jpg "budget car")
