Car seat?

in August 2012 Moms
Okay, I need a new car seat recommendation. DS is finally ready to get out of his infant seat....we are a half inch away from the height limit. What should I get? I want something that is easy to take in and out, can rear face for awhile, and will last a long time height and weight wise. Do big baby car seats still have bases? I don't really want to buy 2 seats, but sometimes I drop DS off at daycare and DH picks him up, so I want something that goes in and out easy

    Well, at the rate DS is going, that will last until he is 12, lol. He is up to a whopping 19 lb 10 oz

    Maybe I'll do the same, get a good one for my car, which is usually the "family" car and the cheaper one for DH's car

    I just got a safety 1st omega elite for $95 at burlington coat factory. It goes from 5lbs to 100. I bought it for daxton. It was hard to find a harness that went higher than 40 but still had an option to do the seatbelt option latwr as a booster. Its worth it. He loves it.

    Bemyselfandi, you might check out this article: https://csftl.org/the-alpha-omega-why-its-neither-the-first-nor-the-last-nor-the-elite-car-seat/

    If the seat is working for you now, that's great, as many find it hard to install correctly. From what I've read, it's not safe as a booster for most kids.

    Also the alpha omega was recalled a few weeks ago. I can't remember the details though. I'd have to google it. But I'm sure the ones in the store were replaced with the "unrecalled" versions.

    Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
    EDD 10/15/16
    At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!

    I had to get 3 carseats since dh drops dd off at the sitters and I pick up. And then one for the sitters car (my cousin).

    Dh and I both have the britax marathon. Got one for $165 and one for $199.

    I won a carseat in a raffle at the hospital. Its an evenflow something. I think tribute? Its very very basic. We put that one in the sitters car.

    I will say I really miss the ease of the infant seat and being able to easily switch it between all 3 of the bases.

    I just saw the Graco MyRide 65 for $99 at Target. They had the Nautilus for $140. I think those are good sales?

    We have the inexpensive Eddie Bauer seat from Target and we LOVE it.  It's the XRS-65.
