Car Seat Recs
I know this has been posted on here before and I though I saved all my info, but I guess I was wrong. 
Can you please recommend the one you have and where you got it?
Katie is right on the brink of out-growing her seat and needs a new one.
Re: Car Seat Recs
I got the evenflo advance lx, which I bought from Amazon for $125. It seems really comfy for the boys, they usually fall asleep as soon as they are in it. It also goes up to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs front facing. It also has knobs on the side which tighten and loosen the straps for when you have bulkier clothes.
From what I have read, the seats that did the best in the crash tests, were this seat and the britax roundabout, but that is priced around $220.
we stuck to the same brand as our infant seat - maxi cosi. ?it's fairly new to the u.s., but has been in europe for years and exceeds their safety standards, which are higher than ours.
you can find it at babies r'us and right start, i think. ??
we have evenflo in the van, our main car, i can't even find our model online OMG! sorry.
we have graco convertibles (don't know which models) in Dh's car as the secondary set.
also Julie, I made my purchases based on reviews in the Baby Bargains and Toddler Bargains books. do you have those books?
We went with Ella's pedi reccomendation list, which noted Graco or Britax as having great car seats. We had to buy 2 car seats so we went with Graco. I couldn't afford to spend $600 on carseats plus when Isaac had the Britax it took up my entire back seat!!
So we bought Ella the Graco-Alesia. It's such a cozy carseat and fits great in my Camry. (Ella faces backward)
Hope you find your little princess the perfect carseat. There are so many options:)
