Car Seats - Graco vs Britax, suggestions?

~Lily~ · May 2010

I'm currently looking into the Graco My Ride 65 car seat and the Britax Marathon or Boulevard car seat. Any feedback on these, both positive and negative would be appreciated.

Both are good seats. Personally, I'd go with the MyRide over a Britax for a few reasons. 1- You can keep your LO RF longer in the MyRide (40 lbs vs 35 lbs). 2- The MyRide is slightly taller than the Britax models (which are both the same size), but that little bit can be helpful in keeping your LO in a FF 5 pt harness longer, which is important. And 3- PRICE! The MyRide is about half the price of a Britax and JUST as safe and JUST as good.

Personally, I'd get a First Years TrueFit over even the MyRide, but either is a great seat that will give you a bang for your buck.

We bought the MyRide because it had very good ratings, and we were able to get 2 seats for less than the cost of 1 britax (i got them on sale at BBB and also used coupons). We have been really happy with the seat, and DD seems to love it. I have no complaints.

I love my evenflo. It is very easy to install and adjust the straps.

I love our MyRide, it looks soooo comfortable. I wish they made them for adults!

We have the My Ride 65 for DS#2, who is 18 mos. He is a BIG boy (28lbs, 33") and is still comfortably RFing in it. I like that we will have that option for a while yet. That seat is SOLID and very nice. No complaints!!
