How convenient, or inconvenient, would it be to transfer this car seat (forward facing) between vehicles on an every other day basis or so?

it is safer to just buy another one- i had the police department check our installation and to move it back and forth might make it not as safe if it is reinstalled improperly

I would assume so, it's my friend who owns it but I don't think it would be permanently to the actual car seat!

I don't do it that often but find it rather easy. However I do have the latch system and it fits easily in my impala. I can move it to my mother in laws jeep but cant fit the jeeps latch system, think I'm doing something wrong. I can confidently install it forward facing in the jeep and thats what I do. All in all, takes about 10 min and I don't do it often.

Yes. Makes it very easy for grandparents to switch baby from parents to own car. Parents with 2 cars could use one also.

Babies R Us and most stores will let you try out installing carseats in your car. Offhand I would think the car would be too small, rear facing would probably make the front seat unusable. Forward facing it may fit, the seat allows for an inch or two of overhang.

no you have to transfer the one from the old seat,not very difficult to do. Works fine for me

It is extremely easy to move from car to car. It is a little on the heavy side however that is more peace of mind for me knowing that it is a durable car seat. All you have to do is push the buttons in on each side and twist and it unlocks. When you set it in the new base just do the opposite, or you can just push down on the red tabs that come up in the seat when it is unlached and it will relatch. It keeps the same locking position that it was in the other base so you don't have to readjust it.

I purchased a coupe with the armrest already installed. I didn't care for the look of it initially so I asked the dealer about taking it out and was told it was difficult and time consuming, thus expensive. After looking closely, it is apparent that at least one seat would have to be removed. I wasn't interested in doing this what with all the wiring for airbags, etc. After living with it for six months though, I love it, wouldn't we without it. My Mini is an automatic so I'm not sure I would like it if it were a manual.

it can easily be transferred from one vehicle to another you will just need to reset a few basic settings each time you change it such as the gas tank size.

Its a great seat. Its very easy to use, but yet its very secure. Great all around car seat, just be aware that the base can not be used for forward facing position. with that being said, everytime you want to use it for the stroller at that point, you will have to unbuckle it from the car. not that big of a deal just a heads up

its easy to move whole thing. I have never taken out just car seat and kept base in our car. I have traveled a lot with this car seat and put in different car such as taxis, mini vans etc .. Never had problem. I am not sure if they sell just base for this seat.

It probably wouldn't be easy to transport for your purposes. It's not all that heavy, but it would be a pain to move it in and out of your car that often. It's a little bit too big for that to be convenient.

The only thing to do is to run the seat belt through the handles if the carrier is facing forward. You could sit the carrier sideways in the back and secure it diagonally with seat beat - going through the handles again.

It was simple to install, but to stay in place. It is not easy enough to change out really often. The stiffness of the seatbelt and folding it to fit into the slots is what keeps me from saying it is easy. The snap on plastic ones that I tried constantly came undone and were worthless to me. I am the primary driver of my car and there is seldom a need to adjust it. I hope this helps you

As long as you have two docking systems, one for each car, you can use the same radio head between the two cars. I have one car I use daily and another I only use periodically. I have one subscription, one radio head, and two docking systems and I use the radio in both vehicles.

I'm sure it could but it would be a pain to constantly be moving it from one car to the other, in my opinion. I have an Escape and I leave my back seats down all the time so the net is between the front seats and back...the dogs (3 Pomeranians) have the entire back area.

I have twin girls and my husband and I bought two chicco infant car seats that came with bases. The bases stayed in my car and he used the seat belt to secure them when in his car. I have since bought two foward facing seats for my car and the infant seats are still in his car with the base. We will have to buy forward facing soon for his car. So we have bought 4 so far and will need to buy 2 more. I suggest you buy two convertible seats, and let them buy 2 infant seats if they want them.
