Recommend your convertible carseat

DH's grandma has graciously offered to buy LO's convertible car seat for her for Christmas.  We are going to look this afternoon and check and see what will fit in my small car.  So far, I have the Graco MyRide65 and the Britax Boulevard on my list to check out. 

If you have either of these, what do you think of them?  If you have a different one, which one and what kind of reviews would you give it?

Re: Recommend your convertible carseat

  • We have the Boulevard and LOVE it!  DD grew out of her infant seat by 10 months or so and we got it on sale....whew!  I will say though, it helps to have a larger vehicle...it's a little bulky.
  • We have the Britax Roundabout 55 and love it! We got it instead of the Boulevard b/c it was smaller. I have a mid-sized car..it actually fits in the car better than the infant car seat did. We've been using it about a month...at 22 pounds Preston was just too heavy to carry around in the infant seat plus his head was almost at the top of the seat.
  • Loading the player...
  • We have the Boulevard too.  We like it!  I've moved it many times to other cars while traveling, and it's easy.  It is a little big. 

    I've heard some great things about Radian seats too (IRL, not just on the bump).

  • We started with the MyRide which we liked well enough.  When we had to replace it (after a wreck) we went with a Boulevard which I like 10,000 times better.  It's easier to install, easier to tighten the straps and I was able to move the front passenger seat back almost 3 more inches (compared to where it was with the MyRide).

    Sarah's still in her infant seat (yes...at 15mos...*sigh*) in DH's car but we'll probably go with another Boulevard when she reaches the height limit.
