Im looking to purchase a car seat for a one year old, rear facing. Would prefer something Easy to install, comfortable, safe, and a girl color would be great but not necessary. Looking for a great price too!
TIA!

All car seats on the market pass the same tests, with a pass/fail rating. So we have no way of knowing whether one is safer than another or not
Are you aware that it is recommended to continue rear facing past age two, as close to age four as you can as long as she still fits in the seat safely? It makes a big difference in terms of likelihood of severe injury in a crash chvs.
Any convertible seat will get you to age two rear facing with those stats. Do you want to consider rear facing for longer? What's your budget considering all this?

I have a minivan, and a honda crv. I might get 2, not sure, as we switch cars and its very hard to keep on taking it in and out.
I will turn her around when she is 2 at the recommendation of my pediatrician.
I don't have a budget. Im just trying to pay as little as possible.

Is the recommendation to turn around at 2, or just not to turn before? 2 is now the earliest possibility to turn around, but it is still safer to elave them rear facing.
I love my Diono Radians. They take up the least amount of space, are easy to install and have straps that go up pretty high.

Evenflo sureride is a pretty straighforward seat, under $100 and will last a long time both rear facing and forward facing. It's comfortable and it has nice girly and gender neutral prints.
Pediatricians don't know all that much about car seat safety it's really beyond their scope.

FYI you can get the sureride at kohls.com. The price now is $89 and you can use the code LUCKYU for another $15 off. If you have a kohls card you can use the code POOLSIDE for 25% off.

Whats with the Evenflo Tribute LX that I see on amazon for as low as 45.99? Is it a bad car seat? Just curious, if you would recommend it, and if you know why its so cheap...It seems like the #1 sold car seat o amazon

It's more of a bare bones seats and it doesn't last quite as long as many others (it is outgrown much sooner). It's fine for a backup but I wouldn't get it as a main seat.
ETA that it's often difficult to properly install.

Also the Tribute is very small and will be outgrown fairly quickly. I'd spend a bit more and get one with better limits.
