I have now narrowed it down to 3 choices. Well - 2 basically - but one of them has 2 style options. I could go with the Safety 1st onSide air in blue for a "gender neutral" like DH wants:
or flowery like I want:
They max out at 40 pounds and will cost $60 after promo codes and whatnot from albeebaby.
The 3rd option is the Evenflo Titan Elite in black/grey

which maxes out at 50 pounds and will cost $40 after my 20% coupon and all Hayley's remaining BRU gift cards (which we use periodically for random things like diaper pail liners and baby wipes etc.)
All of these seats I tested with Hayley and she seemed to like them. I'm a terrible decision maker and she didn't make it any easier.
Not sure which I should pick (sorry to beat the dead horse) - if you were in my shoes.....
