Default Eddie Bauer Portable Toddler Car Seat

Has anyone used this seat?
I am a daycare provider - 2 of my carseats expire at the end of this year and I'm looking at options to replace them.
I have an Expedition and generally have 3 boys in seats in the 3rd row (they like to all be next to each other!). We are not in the car every day but I would say 2-3 days a week for a trip longer than 1 mile.
I need a new seat for the 2 1/2 year old.
TIA!

Is this what you mean?
If so, run away, run far far away as fast as you can!

Seriously, this is an absolute LAST RESORT for travel only: frequent taxicab, etc. for the child who doesn't fit other options.... This seat does perform well in frontal crash tests because kiddo sits so low + far back (kiddo's head is well within the maximum 28" of allowable forward movement) however it is nearly impossible to install correctly in any vehicle (must have less than 1" at the belt path) & the harness is nearly impossible to adjust to correct size The only use I found for this seat was for kiddo to take ownership over car safety by letting her buckle a dolly into it before I buckled her into her own (much safer more dedicated) traditional carseat.

Let's start at the beginning to see if we can find safer options for your situation What is each child's age, weight, height & what is the vehicle year, make, model? Also, what is your budget?
