Help re convertible carseats!

 I am so confused about the convertible carseats....I thought that the Britax Marathon was *THE* seat to get, but I'm looking on consumer reports website, and it scores the Evenflow Triumph, the Britax Roundabout and the Cosco Alpha Omega significantly higher thna the Marathon.

I don't have LATCH in my car, so it will be secured via the seatbelt.  I have a 2000 Grand AM....so it isn't huge, but not that small.

Any advice or recommendations?

  • We bought the Evenflow Triumph.  It seems pretty big to me, but fits with room in our Escape.  Both DH and I really like it... it was easy to install and really easy /convenient to use...

  • We have Marathons.  They are big, but we really like them.

  • We have a Cosco Alpha Omega. We love it as it was super easy to install with a seat belt (we have a new vehicle but UAS is a PITA) and DD seems comfortable

    It's important to remember that Consumer Reports also factors in price into their ratings, and the Marathon being as expensive as it is wouldn't get as a high of a rating.  I love the Marathon and I still think it's THE seat to get;)
