Car seat/Carrier recommendations

bumpuser10194737 · December 2013

Getting a new car seat/infant carrier for LO #3. Will be using it with the Joovy Caboose double stroller.

Trying to decide if I should go with:

Britax B-safe
Chicco Keyfit
Graco Snugride 30LX

Is the Chicco worth the extra money? All three seem to have good reviews on Amazon. Would love to hear if any of you May mamas had experience with the Chicco or Britax in particular. We had a Graco for our last and it was fine- didn't love it, but didn't dislike it either.

I love our chicco. It is so easy to cinch baby in. It's smaller than most carriers. My only con with it is that the seat is pretty stinkin heavy, and I have big babies that make it even heavier. So I've had to go to a regular car seat (still rear facing) earlier then I would have liked.

I have a graco snugride, wish I'd gotten the chicco keyfit. I honestly hoped my SIL ruined it or got in a (small, totally non-harming) accident so I didn't have to use it again & could justify getting a new seat after only a year. But alas it's back here & in the wash as we speak. The chicco is one of the top selling seats for a reason. Comfy, easiest to install, still looks good with lots of color choices, works well in most cars. Just all around awesome-sauce.

I have the Chicco Keyfit and love it, I tried the peg with DS2 because it has a max weight of 30lbs and he was just so big so fast and I hated it, I sold it and will use my Chicco again.

We got the Britax B Safe and B Agile. I like the car seat, it's super light and highly rated.

We are a Britax family. After using a different brand this past week I will never buy another brand car seat.

I'm getting the chicco keyfit to go with our uppababy stroller. I was looking at the uppababy Mesa but it's version 1 and not enough studies and reviews warrant me spending that money. The keyfit is recommended by baby bargains.

I love love our Chicco. I hated the Graco when I tried it out in the store. I didn't know about the Britax when I was pregnant (they might not have come out quite at the time I was looking) but I know friends that have it and love it.

My mom bought me the Graco Click Connect 35 with the jogging stroller for Christmas and I cannot wait to use it!

Another lover of the Chicco Keyfit30! Super easy installation and it was compatible with a lot of strollers including the Uppababu Vista. I'll be using it again for #2 since it's still got a few years before it expires.

I love my chicco! So easy to install. DD was in it until she was one and is still using it in my parents cars (she's 14 months). I think she is as comfortable in it as she is in her Britax convertible seat.

We went with the Britax b-safe and b-agile, because we liked the stroller, and wanted an infant seat that could click and out of it.

We were originally registered for the Chicco Keyfit30 until the Britax deal came along on Amazon, so now we're a Britax family, and got the B-Safe to go with our B-Ready stroller. I have no baby to put in it (currently it's being occupied by a stuffed Donald Duck) but we're pretty happy with it.
