We are planning on getting this carseat for our 2 1/2 yr old for our main carseat and her other carseat as the one that goes in grandparents car when they take her somewhere. BUT does anyone have this carseat and if so how well do you and your little one like it? and do you know of anywhere that has coupons for it? target has it on sale for 130 so its 50 off but we were curious as to if there were any coupons for this carseat out there
this seat is up to 65lbs in harness and 100 with the back booster and seat belt and i think 120 with just the bottom
I love mine and I have a toyota corolla and it fits just fine...I too paid $130 for mine so that seems about right. I feel like I finally got a car seat I won't have to replace for at least 2 - 3 years...oh, and my lil guy loves it! He hates when we go in my hubby car in the other car seat...
Just an FYI that this seat doesn't work in all vehicles. Check online before buying. I spent two hours trying to get it installed safely in our second row Honda Odyssey and it was a floppy mess. (Not to mention, this thing weighs a ton and I was a mess after two hours) I ended up returning it to BRU.
We have the britax frontier, which has a higher five point harness limit of 85lbs. Then uses the seatbelt to 120lbs. Because five point is safest that's the main reason I chose it, but also because of britax's safety ratings and personal experience with their brand in a fatality accident.
I've heard so much about the nautilus that I went and looked at it for our second DD, but it seemed so cheap, fabric wise and shell when compared to the more substantial and cushiony britax seats. We will spend the extra and get another frontier for her next year. Safety is worth a lot to me, even the extra $50+! plus that makes up for how much longer they can use the harness. There's always good deal on albeebaby.com or new in box on eBay.
Have you looked at www.retailmenot.com?
We have one for our daughter (almost 3) and have used it for almost 2 years. We really like it. We have a Honda Odyssey and have it installed in the second row bucket seat and have never had an issue. It is comfortable for her and easy to clean. We love the cup holder as well. I would highly recommend it!
We have two of these carseats. I love them. I feel that they keep my kids safe. The ONLY negative thing I have to say is that they weigh a ton or so it feels when installing them. I would buy ours over and over again. My kids seems to ride really comfy in them and if they fall asleep their heads do not boob forward. The drink holder and side cubby pockets are a huge plus.
We love it.
We've had it for about a year and a half. I wanted a comfortable carseat for her, but one that looked like it could grow with her. So far this has met all my expectations, and she LOVES the cup holder and the little cubbyhole.
It's also been easy to clean. The material (to me) isn't cheap at all, and has been really durable when I scrubbed melted crayon out of it.
Sorry I don't know about coupons for it. Hope you find some though!
=)
I have one, its our secondary seat for dad's car, but I really like it. It is really heavy though. I paid $125 for mine with sales and coupons, so $130 sounds pretty good to me.
