It would be really useful to have the weight of the seats in this article. We are trying to find the lightest convertible car seat solely for travelling, that accomodates rear facing up to 50lbs. So far the best I can find is the Diono Radian R at 17lbs. Is there anything lighter out there?
@Claire, the Diono Radian R weighs about 26 lbs. and wouldn’t be my first choice as a travel seat simply because it’s complicated and has known compatibility issues. The Graco Extend2Fit convertible is probably the best choice of the bunch for traveling as it is easy to install and weighs about 19 lbs. HTH!
Any recommendations from this list for a compact rear seat? (Mazda CX-5)
@ Seth, how old is the child? If they are 9+ months and you don’t mind having them seated in a more upright position (but still rear-facing), the Britax One4Life and Nuna Rava are both good options that take up less front-to-back space. The One4Life is wider than the Rava but will also last much longer before being outgrown. HTH!
Thank you so much for this.
The chicco nextfit only goes upto 40lbs rear facing
Correct. The NextFit Max, which is listed, goes to 50 lbs. RF. I see the links were leading to the regular NextFit and I changed those to take you to the NextFit Max.
This could use an update to add the City Turn. 🙂
