I totally get that there are a ton of parents who simply can't spend $200 or more on a convertible car seat for their precious children. In fact, if you truly can't afford a car seat at all, please contact your local police department or fire department to find out where you can get assistance for obtaining a car seat for your little one.
A convertible car seat is an excellent and economic choice for everyone, not just those who don't have money to burn. In general, convertible car seat fit infants from as little as five pounds pounds and will continue to protect kiddos up to 40 pounds (or more!).
Convertible car seats can be installed rear-facing for the safest option for little travelers. Once children get a bit bigger, the seat can be flipped and installed so bigger kiddos can ride facing forward.
I was just doing a quick search to find some great deals on convertible car seats and I came up with two excellent and highly-recommended choices that ring up at $50 or less! Here's what you can get:
The Cosco Scenera convertible car seat is currently $39 with free shipping from Amazon. According to the product details, Consumer Reports rated this car seat as EXCELLENT for crash protection.
The Evenflo Tribute 5 meets all safety ratings and is priced at just $49 with free shipping!
At these super-low prices, the Cosco Scenera or Evenflo Tribute 5 are both excellent options for families who could use a second car seat for their alternate vehicles. They're also great buys if you're looking for a safe car seat to keep in a grandparent's or a caregiver's car!

Dang, I was all excited about the Cosco one then realized it’s only the pink one on sale. That just won’t work for my little dude. Oh well!
Thanks for posting these deals!!
