seat for second car would like convertable

Actually, the most affordable convertible out there, the Cosco Scenera, is one of the most recommended for the little ones! It's what we hand out for newborns through our Safe Kids coalition. If you are interested in getting one of the ones you linked though, the Corroco will probably fit the best in a tight space, but will be outgrown sooner than the Evenflo Triumph Advance or the MyRide. All three of those are great options from birth up, and each has it's own merits. The MyRide rear faces to 40lbs, but it wil be a tough fit in a tight space. The Evenflo Triumph Advance will harness longer than the Scenera, but again, it's a pretty big seat and up on a base. The Corroco is a compact seat, designed for compact cars, but is the most expensive and will be outgrown first by size/weight. The Scenera, will probably harness a similar length to the Corroco, but it is less than half the cost of the Corroco! Again, it will be a tighter fit behind a passenger seat at a 45 degree angle, but better than the MyRide for sure!

Ohh yes I do understand that if I went with something like this (or really all I linked except maybe the Myride) that I'd be looking at needing to upgrade at some point. If I remember right I had the Evenflo with my DD it actuall fit our car really well (thus the links) but we had to upgrade and well before shes was in any way ready for a non harrnessed seat. I think we offically switched around her 3rd year but really we likely waited around 6 months too long.
But I have a limited budget for "now" I can save up over the next year or so though
I also of course plan to rear face this one a lot longer a MIMIMNAL of 2 years likely more I turned my first at EXACTLY one year and EXACTLY 20lbs. I didn't know I actually thought I HAD to

I thought that the Scenera had a high lowest strap height (like 10.5") so wasn't appropriate for newborns and for most children for the first several months? What carseat am I thinking of?

humm well not too sure now.. I found this

8 inches seems quite high actally I'm already concerned that the 6.5 bottom harness slot on my infant seat may not work on my NB and while I do understand a convertabel I get also might not work for a tiny one I'd like to be able to start using it fairly soon...
Though another site says 7.5.. There are plenty in town I might go look and measure in person.

Thanks for the suggestions.. The whole thing is giving me a gigantic headache though (not cause of anything here) so at this point I think I'll try to do with what I have and then just take the baby to the store after she arrives and see what fits her best
Every car seat I saw today said from 19 inches my first arrived at 18 and this one may come smaller...
