I want to pick up a booster for car pooling, which we do rarely. The USA Baby is going out of business, but I don't know if these are great deals or not.

Recaro Vivo is $73
Sunshine Kids Monterey is $99

are either of these screaming deals?

the kid is almost 7 years old, 47", 46 pounds.

For carpooling, the Vivo is lighter and easier to move around. For all the time use, the M is pretty gigantic and latches in, great, but not for moving from car to car.

Diapers.com is $80 on the Vivo (plus 10% off if it is your first order), BigLots had them for $68 as well. Monterey usually runs around $100-120 for the older ones, $139 for the 2010. I would guess the USA Baby ones are not very new. I don't think either of those is a massive deal considering it is final sale, out of business.

I heard on another board that someone saw Vivos at BigLots for $49, not sure if that is true or not... pretty good deal if it is true though! (I'm not sure what BL she shops at.)

thanks everyone, I am going to pass on them both since I don't have a real need right now.

Waaaah, just checked my local Big Lots today and found no Vivos. :-(
