Does anyone love their car seat???

Hi,

So my last post was asking about a car seat that was given to me. Turns out it's been expired since 2011 so that's a no go.  I've been looking online for a rear to front facing seat and I'm not finding much.  Most of them are all straight to forward facing and I don't want to put her in that til she's 2.  Anyone have a car seat they love that will eventually move to forward that they can suggest? I appreciate it!! :)

Re: Does anyone love their car seat???

  • I thought most of them were able to RF in my experience.

    I really like my Graco Headwise (I think that's what we have now) a lot better than the Britax Pavilion that we started off with.

  • We like the Graco Headwise. You can RF for quite a while too

  • We have a graco my size 65. :)
  • Also, I thought most seats were RF now??? That's odd that all you are finding is FF seats. Are you searching for"convertible carseats?"

  • There are so many convertible carseat options (rf to ff) available in a variety of budgets.

    We love our Graco Headwise/my size 70.

    Ditto @‌ramy3695

    However I love my Britax Boulevard for our car. Its not so perfect for our truck.
  • Thank you all for your suggestions, I really appreciate it!  Just looking to see others experiences and suggestions.  You guys are great!
    and yes ramy3695 I do realize there is a lot that goes into choosing a car seat, I don't usually only get all my information from strangers on the internet.  But thank you for the kind and helpful words.

    us too

     

    But I would check out the FB group car seats for the littles (like others have suggested).  You can give them your LO's height, weight, the car you use, and your budget and you will get much better recommendations for your specific situation

    We have a Britax marathon and diono radian and i love them both for different reasons. I highly suggest researching what car seats work best for your particular car.

    . We have both as well and love both.

  • Ughhhh I hate our car seats.
  • I have the evenflo triumph as an extra and a britax boulevard for my car. We just got the roundabout for my nanny. Hopefully it's better.
  • Diono is great because it is for tall kids and is very narrow

    Same here!
  • Another vote for the peg. I know someone found an awesome deal on theirs just last week.

    I would suggest going to a store and looking at car seats. Not trying to offend, but it sounds like you know very little about them (they all rear and front face these days hence "convertible"). I would get your paws on some before you just order something off the inter webs.

    Good luck!

    Not all seats have the capability to RF. There are harnessed seats that FF, then turn to high back boosters and then to no-back boosters. I am guessing that's what she was finding - combination seats vs. convertible seats.
