My Blasphemous Confession

Moesten

We switched Sam over to his convertible car seat - a Britax Roundabout. That's not my confession. My confession is that I hate this car seat. It was a bear to install and the buckle has a tiny square button that is difficult to depress to unlatch. I far, far, far prefer the Graco Nautilus' button that slides down to unlatch.

I am seriously thinking of giving this seat to my mother for her car and going and buying an Evenflo. I HATE THE BRITAX! There, I said it.

It's okay, we can still be friends.

We've never owned a Britax, and we probably never will. We're Graco and Evenflo people, too. No shame in that.

HA!  I actually returned a Britax (that my parents got us) and got a Graco because of the same thing!

I put in a Britax last week and feel the exact same way! Rita cries every time I put her in it, but she's fine in the Evenflo in MH car. And I think we now can't put the passenger's seat all the way back because of the anchor. The reason I got it though is because it's a few inches shorter than the Evenflo and in my car (Honda Element) it makes such a huge difference getting her in and out and, you know, seeing the road.

I have an Evenflo Symphony and I love it.  No need for a Britax here.

I have to agree that the "new and improved" Britax seats are ridiculously hard to install, especially if you are using a seatbelt instead of LATCH.

 This, exactly.  It is a convertible seat that eventually becomes a booster (and goes to 100 lbs). 

Oh, and the top strap is easy enough that Brandon can line it up and snap them together).  Other than an occasional twisting of the straps, we really like the seat.
