Car Seat Question

*Erin&Mike**Erin&Mike*
in Adoption

How did you choose your car seat?  We've picked out a few that we like-and we are buying it this week...but I want to look at safety ratings...has anyone found a link that is helpful for doing that?

    We bought Baby Bargains book and chose based on their safety ratings.  I think they have a website too...try google.  We used Baby Bargains to buy all our gear...it's all so overwhelming otherwise!

    We picked the one that went with the stroller we liked.
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    We used baby bargains as others indicated as well as personal references. We ended up w/ a Graco Snugride as an infant seat and a Britax Boulevard for convertible...up to 65 lbs.  We got the snugride in a rush but had more time to look into the convertible...we were pleased to be able to save $$ by buying last year's pattern...it was still manufactured in the current year, but had a different fabric that was discontinued...

    Consumer Reports did a report in 2007 and the top rated seats were the Chicco Keyfit30 (which we bought) and the Graco Snugride. ?I love our Chicco but I think the Graco has a better price and is compatible with more things (the snap n go , which is an absolute must as far as I am concerned, and there is also a swing from Graco that you can snap your carseat into). ?The Chicco fits fine in the snap n go and is secure, but it doesn't snap into place like the Graco seat would. ?

    We splurged. We have the teutonia brand. The base stays in the car, the seat pops out and snaps into the stroller base. I love it!

    We bought Baby Bargains and subscribed to Consumer Reports. Very helpful, and I think it's narrowed things down.

    We also went with the Chicco KeyFit based on CR safety ratings.  The Graco Snugride is also excellent - a good friend at work has it and uses with the Snap-n-Go and loves it.

    I've heard that the KeyFit will snap into a MacLaren Easy Traveller (like the Snap-n-Go), so I'm gonna check that out, too.

    First I checked with my girlfriends whom all have babies (4 of them at once) and they all said Britax so I decided to do lots of research online and they are one of the safest car seats. Yes, Baby Bargains also recommends them. Love that book!
