  My SIL has my book right now but I know Britax seats always get high ratings and we are very very happy with ours.  They are on the pricey side but after buying a less expensive one for our third vehicle we went out and spent the money on another Britax.  Well worth the extras and convenience IMO.

  All carseats meet the same safety standards.  You pay extra for different bells and whistles.  Britax seats are nice but are often outgrown sooner than other convertibles because they have a shorter shell.  They also offer less legroom when rear-facing.  We have a Britax Boulevard and really do love it, but my daughter is really small for her age.  If she was average or above we would not have gone with one because I want to rear-face until 3 or 4.  Two seats that are great for rear-facing are the Diono Radian and Chicco Nextfit.  The Graco Myride is also good and less expensive than the previous two.

    I joined the FB group Car Seats for the Littles which is a great place to learn more information about car seats, particularly convertible car seats. They can make recommendations for seats based on your budget, car, and preferences.

  I love my Diono Radian RXT! I actually prefer it to the britax seats. And it's basically the only thing that would fit in my Jeep Wrangler (2012 model 4 door) without putting the passenger seat clear into the dash.
