Recommend your car seat!

My little guy is almost 1 years old and we have to get a new car seat for DH's car.  What do you ladies recommend???  Convertible, 3-in-1, etc.  brand and models too please!

Re: Recommend your car seat!

  • My Evenflo Symphony is a pain the the ass.
  • I would avoid any that are rear facing/forward facing/booster as very few are good at all three (jack of all trades, master of none). Since he's just one, you'll want a seat that will keep him rear facing for at least another year. The ones most recommended are:

    diono radian (if you get this one I highly recommend ordering an angle adjuster as otherwise it tends to be very reclined rear facing and leave no room for the person sitting in front of it)

    evenflow triumph advance

    Britax seats are good as well, but they all have shorter shells than these seats so  kids outgrow them for height earlier (and most kids outgrow seats for height long before hitting the weight limits)

  • What don't you like about it??
  • I move my kids to Britax Marathons after infant seats. When DD turned 5, I moved her to the Britax Booster with the high back and 5 point harness- forget the style name. I'm a Britax girl! Although she still sits in the marathon in the morning in DH's car for school.

  • I just got my youngest the Graco My Ride 65 and no issues so far.  She seems very comfy in there.
