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.
Re: My Blasphemous Confession
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.
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.
