Re: Rear Facing Car Seat-Which do you use
And my apologies to the original poster for highjacking your post with this tedious argument with Tara!
As I stated, I have the Britax Boulevard which I LOVE! It's super easy to install, very easy to adjust the straps, and my DS seems extremely comfortable in it! And i was able to keep him RFing in it for quite some time!

Re: Rear Facing Car Seat-Which do you use
We got DD Graco My Size 70. It rear-faces as well as forward-faces. I originally had bought he Graco Nautilus....tried to install it and realized it was only forward facing. I was soooo pissed. lol

For our boys, we have the Graco MyRide 65 and the Graco Smart Seat. Both are still rearfacing.

My apologies for forgetting to put that Foonf CLAIMS that the REACT technology.....in my original post!!
Would you like me to edit my first response where I stated why "I" would choose a Foonf? Would that make you feel better??
And as you stated, the Clek is a new seat so nobody is buying them used right now off of CL. So luckily my statement won't have the masses searching the internet for them!!
And I had to laugh at your "status symbol" comment
 come on! Do really believe that someone is going to buy a car seat as a status symbol?? That's by far one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in a long time!! Why yes, everyone come check out the very expensive seat I bought. It has nothing to do with safety! I just bought it to look cool!!
And I also think its funny how you blast me for recommending a seat that's $$$$, meanwhile in your previous post, you recommended she check out the Britax and Radian which are both $$$$.
I know MANY fellow CPSTs/Car seat advocates who have bought Clek seats or other niche seats like the Coccoro, because they look "cool" or as a status symbol. So mock me all you want but you're wrong. Just like with strollers, there are people who buy the priciest seats because they're the "must have" seats. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Also, I routinely recommend the $40 Cosco Scenera to parents on here along with seats in the $125 range like the MyRide and Evenflo Triumph 65.
I didn't "blast" you for recommending a pricey seat, I asked you not to infer that a specific seat is SAFER than any other on the market. I've also asked people on here not to infer that Britax (or any other seat or brand) is safer as well, because we don't KNOW if they are safer.
The reasons I recommend specific seats are based on ease of use, ease of installation, value, ability to fit a large range of children and ability to work in a majority of vehicles and I do give seat ideas that will fit within most parent's budgets.
I have dedicated a lot of time here and in real life FOR FREE helping parents with car seats, and I more than just an online advocate. I am proud of all the work I've done here and in real life. I've worked seat checks, I've taught parents to install and use their seats, and I have actually had to reassure parents at checks that their child is just as safe in their sub $100 seat as they are in the pricy seats because of well intentioned but misleading posts like yours.
You have no idea how many parents who don't have a lot are made to feel guilty over not being able to afford what people tell them is the "safest" seat. I've actually had to pull 8+ year old expired Britax seats out of vehicles that parents had just bought used off of Craigslist because they were told that Britax was the safest and were trying their hardest to afford the "safest" for their child. You have no idea how hard it is to tell these same parents that rather than their child being safer, they actually were in more danger because the seat was expired or otherwise damaged (crashed, used, missing pieces etc). And you have no idea how grateful they are when you replace their unsafe seat with a sub $100 Evenflo Titan or Cosco Scenera that will actually keep them safe.
