Car seat for toddler - any recommendations??

We have a 2nd car seat, the Sit n Stroll, but I hate it. I'd like to get another car seat, but one that can be used into the future, more like toddler-sized than for a baby. DD is 32 lbs now (I weighed her on the luggage scale at the airport the other day) so looking for something that goes to higher weights -- thanks for any recommendations.

This is the car seat DH got for his car - Safety chris who does installations recommended it to me. We just got it so that Maddie can use Kaitlyn's convertible seat in DH's car since she will be outgrowing her infant seat soon.

We just got this one as well and installed it over the weekend. My DD is also 32 lbs and gaining... I really like that it will be the last car seat I have to buy for her.

Chat Icon My Colin is in the Britax Frontier and I gave his brother the Decathalon he was in!

I like the Frontier because it's a bit on the bigger side and since we have a mini van with the captions chair it makes me feel he's a bit safer. FWIW, I think it's just a mental thing! Chat Icon

We have this one too (for our oldest son) and love it. We have now converted it to a booster seat (left the back on) and it's great.

we have these too (though the prettier girly versions, one in each car Chat Icon ). We handed off the Britax to Erik, and Ella moved into these. She can grow with this seat until she's not in car seats/boosters any longer.
