Recommend your carseat!

LO has outgrown his infant carseat. It is a britax and I'm not crazy about it. The straps get twisted and are difficult to adjust. I'm willing to spend more since he will be in this one for a lot longer. TIA!

    We've never had a Britax infant seat as they are just too big for our cars, but we love our Britax Marathon. I've never had any issues with it.

    We've gone Safety 1st the with our infant seat, 35, and our convertible rear facing seat, the air 65. We've been really happy with both! Once he can be forward facing we'll have to get another convertible seat for my husband's jeep, nothing fits in his back seat til forward facing so I'll probably be back asking the same question then.

    No real recommendation here. We are planning on getting the Nextfit because we liked the Keyfit so much.

    We have a Britax Roundabout and love it. It is definitely not small but it seems to be very comfortable.

    Are the straps easy to adjust? Do you think they adjust evenly? I really dislike how the straps adjust on our b-safe but looking online it seems that britax marathon and roundabout have some of the best reviews :/

    We love our complete air for our ODS and have the onBoard air infant seat too. For my husbands tiny 3 series BMW we have loved our Safety 1st Guide 65. It installs similar to the complete air but is smaller profile and is a good travel seat as well. Our 37 inch 2 year old is still RF in it too.

    We have the Maxi Cosi Pria 70. It's definitely not small but it's fantastic for a taller baby and can be rear facing for quite some time. It's super comfy and sits pretty high up so he's happy he can see out. He hated his carrier and outgrew it by 6 months. My mom has a safety 1st in her car which fits nicely in her smaller Jeep and he likes that too.

    Chicco Nextfit. I went a bit obsessive when picking out her carseat, and drove myself crazy. It was between the Radian, Foonf, Peg Perego and Nextfit, and I'm so happy I went with the NF. If anyone decides that you like that one, make sure the one you buy has a manufacturing date of Oct 13 or later, because they redesigned the shoulder pads and they are much better.

    We have Diono Radian R100's for all three girls and have another ordered for LO#4. We love the fact they can be used birth to 100 lbs and have such a long life. DD#1 is 4 and still wearing the harness and it has kept arguments at bay about switching her to a booster seat. They have the smallest footprint out there which also makes a big difference for us!

    Absolutely in love with our 'big' family!

    I'm also a proud Auntie to a crazy little girl, her brand new baby sister, a little man on his way in the next month, and a sweet little mister we will miss forever!!!

    We just got the Nextfit at Target today for $179! They had some great coupons (was 20% off in store and Target had a 20% off one baby item). Plus, they have a deal right now where you buy 2 boxes of diapers, you get a $15 gift card which I used on the car seat. Saved $100.

    Another vote for britax roundabout. We had a graco carrier and didn't love it. No complaints since switching. Next time I may start with the convertible I like it that much.

    I ordered one from BBB so couldn't confirm the manufActure date. It arrived with the old straps. I called Chicco and asked them to send me new ones for free, and they did.
