I know that tons of people have posted about this, but after searching I couldn't find exactly the answer I was looking for. So here goes... DD is 14 months and I need a car seat for the nanny's car (a Trailblazer, not sure what year, but I don't think it has latch). DD is rear-facing in a BV in our car. Nanny will be taking her, at most, a couple times a week to the park which is less than a mile away. In the fall she will take her to preschool, but that is also only a half-mile from our house.
I am considering the Scenera, Evenflo Triumph Advance, and the Safety 1st Uptown. Price isn't a huge issue, so I would also consider a Marathon, but DH would probably give me some dirty looks for a seat that's not going to get very much use. Mainly, I'm just looking for something that will be super-easy for the nanny to install, since I think that she will have to take it in and out periodically. I've already told her that we are going to see a carseat tech to show her how to do it.
I bought a Scenera for my parents, who we visit just a couple of times a year, and I actually had some difficulty installing it in their car (a Lexus SUV), but maybe it was just a quirk with that vehicle. I seemed to be leaning to the Triumph Advance based on some other reviews I've read, but I would love some advice on how easy it is to install. Ditto for the Safety 1st Uptown.
Thanks!
