Car seat recommendations

We are going to be hiring a baby sitter to pick up our 4.5yo and 2yo children from day care and drive them home. As such, I'm in the market for 2 more car seats that are not very expensive. Any recommendations?

ETA: sorry didn't read the "not too expensive" part. We bought two safety 1st car seats from Jet.com for around $70 each. One for my mom's car and one for Dh's. I mostly drive DD around, so I have the Graco 4ever in my car

I bought a few safety first car seats off amazon for around 70. Sometimes different colors are cheaper too.

Cosco apt 50 $50 each DH has them to literally drive down the street when he picks them up

Re: Car seat recommendations

my DC outgrew the cosco before the age of 3, but he's high percentiles for height and weight. as a less expensive car seat for other cars we got the evenflo securekid which is a 5 point harness high back booster. it converts to a belt-positioning booster and has height and weight limits which will hopefully work for many years to come. it was under $100

The best option for your 4.5 year old would largely be impacted by where they are in terms of height and weight. For the younger one, I'd definitely recommend the Graco Contender. It's a great seat -- both my mother and DH have it in their car for DD. You can usually find it on sale somewhere -- I shopped around for price and found Amazon to be the cheapest at the time I bought it. I feel like Target had a sale using the Cartwheel app for Graco carseats a few weeks ago.
