Recommend your convertible car seat

My son is close to outgrowing his Graco Snugride, and I'm researching convertible car seats now. I'd like to stay reasonably priced, preferably below $150. I'd love to hear what car seat you use, and what you like/don't like about it. Thanks!

    Check out this FB page called Car Seats for the Littles that is made up of car seat techs who can help you choose the best seat for your child, car, and budget. Here is a link of their recommended convertible car seats and their pros and cons. I found it SO helpful!

    We have the Graco My Size 70 in the Tina pattern.  It's listed on BRU at $179.99 but I signed up for their credit card and got a 10% discount on my first purchase.  We like it but we have to get a new car to put it in.  DH drives a Honda Element and the back doors are "suicide doors" in that they open the opposite way than normal which makes it hard to get DD in and out of the carseat.  She hasn't technically grown out of her infant seat yet, it's just real snug.  I have the convertible seat in my mom's car right now since she's our primary daycare provider at the moment and is always taking DD out and about.

    There's also the Graco My Size 65 which is a little cheaper.  DD has been 95th-97th percentile on height & weight all along so I wanted to get the bigger seat just to be safe.

    We are loving our Evenflo Triumphs.  $150 but I've seen them for $133 on Amazon and Diapers.com.

    The Chicco NextFit is super easy to install and easy to work with. Both my husband and DD love it!

    Both my husband and I have Graco My Size 70 for our DD. I really like them! It was super easy to install and fits in both vehicles with ease. DD seems quite comfy. Good luck on your search!

    A big drawback to the next fit is that I'd anything happens to the harness the entire seat has to be replaced :(

    Another vote for the Graco MySize (or Size4Me or Headwise depending on where you shop). We got ours for around $150 with a coupon at BRU.

    ETA: Our 3 yo is rear facing in ours right now. When baby outgrows her infant seat, she'll get moved to the MySize.
