Re: please recommend your convertible car seat

I really like my britax boulevard 70. It's rear facing until I think 40 pounds, and front facing until 70 pounds or 49 inches. I think it has one of the higher height limits of covertables, so you can really get a lot of use out of it... DS is 2 now, and will prob be able to stay in it for another 2 years or so. He's also really comfy in it and falls asleep in it all the time

I sold my Britax Marathon and got the graco myride 65. Best decision. DD is so comfy in the graco and love the built in cup holders. Great seat

Love my Britax Boulevard 70CS
If for no other reason than it's easy to adjust the straps without having to rethread!

I have an evenflo symphony for DS and will be getting another one when needs a convertible seat. Here's what I love....

Easy to install- the directions are very clear and concise. The clips to anchor it are extremely easy to use and it is an easy seat to get nice and tight.

Easy to adjust the straps- there are no set holes for the straps to come through from the tops. They are a slider adjustment so you know they are aligned perfectly. The adjustment to make the straps tighter and looser is super easy to use as well.

High weight limits- you can keep dc rear facing until a maximum of 40 pounds, forward facing with harnesses until 65 pounds and in the seat as a high back booster until 100 pounds. The headrest is adjustable so there is little worry about a child growing out of it because of their height.

Expiration- the manufacturer's suggestion for life is 7 or 8 years, i forget. Either way that's a great life for a seat, and once they grow out of it (either by weight or date) if a child still needs a seat you can go right for a backless booster.


Also, please be aware there has been a voluntary recall on some Britax seats-sorry I can't direct link from my phone!!!
