Talk to me about convertible car seats...

I just posted about my baby who suddenly hates the car seat. We're pretty desperate to find a solution, and I've had a few people recommend switching to a convertible car seat, saying that their babies did much better in those than the infant seats. Any of you run into that yet? We bought a really nice travel system, so I'm a bit disappointed if this is really the case. For those of you who started with the convertible seats...what brand do you have? Do you like it? Is the worth the extra investment?

  • It won't be an extra investment since you will have to get one anyway.

    We have the Graco my ride 65. We got it at target on sale back in January. We skipped the carrier, I can't stand them ( too heavy) and I can't stand the travel systems ( to big and bulky).

    You can still use the stroller part of the travel system.. Not a total loss there.

  • We have the Britax Boulevard CS 70 and love it. We didn't use it with DD until about 10 months. DS is still in his car seat. We got a good deal from Albeebaby.com. It is supposed to be one of the safest. GL!

    We have the MyRide 65 in both vehicles for DS1.  DS2 will move up sometime this summer.  The MyRide is easily installed and very reasonably priced.

  • You will need one eventually.  I switched DS pretty early because I hated to carry the pumpkin seat around...just got too heavy.  The only nice thing about the baby seats is when you go in a restraunt for LO to sit in.  Otherwise I would have DD switched already by now.
