PSA: BRU carseat deal
Repost from FB...
I didn't plan on getting a carseat today, but I was at BRU and they had an awesome deal. $40 off regular price, and today and tomorrow you get a free umbrella stroller with purchase! So, I went ahead and got one. Just wanted to share.

Re: PSA: BRU carseat deal
Ratings? It passed crash testing. It's a Graco, so I am trusting the brand.
As far as people reviewing it on BRU's site... it's at 3/5 stars. I read those reviews, but I take them for what they are worth coming from strangers.
I've been shopping for a long time for a second convertible car seat. We registered for a Britax Roundabout 55 and we got it, so we will use that one when it's time. But we needed a second one for DH's car because there will be days when one of us drops him off and the other picks him up from daycare, and you can't leave a convertible carseat there.
I didn't want to pay $250+ for a second carseat. I played with all of them at BRU, BBB, and other stores. The Chadwick is 10x better than any other one in it's price range ($150ish). It is so comfy feeling and I didn't have problems operating it.
The people on BRU's site who complain that it's hard to install, etc... I don't know. It took me like 5 minutes to get it in just to see if it would fit in my car. I have a Honda Civic, and the passenger seat has always been almost all of the way up to the dash ever since we put any carseat in it. I didn't expect the room up front to be any different when we changed the infant seat to a convertible one.
Carseats take up lots of room, there is no way around it. FWIW, I sat it right beside the Brtiax one and they are exactly the same size once the Britax is reclined to the same angle as the Graco (the Britax has different recline positions and the Graco doesn't).
