Graco My Size 70???
Need to get 3 of them so don't want to spend a crazy amount. I researched this convertible car seat and seemed to get really good reviews. Just read sometimes the buckle is hard to unfasten but that seemed like the worst of it. Went to babies r us to see it in person and really liked the looks of it and the salesperson said you can't go wrong with this seat. Feedback??

The reviews about the buckle were probably from before the recall where they are replacing the buckles.

Yes they were. I actually just read on the site they were replaced.

We have it and I have no complaints. DD is about to turn two and is very comfy rear facing. The height adjusts very easily and I haven't had an issue with the buckle although we got the replacement (just haven't installed it yet). It's our only convertible so I have nothing to compare it to but we are very happy with it.

We have a MySize and a Britax Marathon. I really dislike the mysize...I find it so hard to adjust the straps. I like the Britax so much more.

The new ones are actually the my size 65. When the new regulations came out in February they changed the weight limit for the harness.
Also, Graco and retailers have a nice"game" going that they have the same shell of the seat being sold at different stores under different names. The only differences are the patterns, padding as well as having cup holders (none, one or two) they are marketed under Fit4me, size4me, mysize, headwise and contender. Pricing is different between the seats too so your best bet might be to go to walmart since they're typically the cheapest. You can also see if the stores will give you a "multiples" discount
Just a note....the my RIDE is a completely different seat and won't last as long as the "clones" (same with the Britax seats. They typically don't last for tall kids)
Forgot to add...I have this seat in my car (2003 Chevy cavalier 4door) and it's nice. I like the seat a lot. The straps can be a pain to tighten RF but if you adjust the fit on the shoulders and pull the slack from the back before/as you're tightening it makes it easier.

Also if you adjust the height up a notch, tighten a little, and then adjust it back down, it helps a LOT. I have the MySize70 (the one BRU sells).

I never thought to do that! I'll definitely give it a try!!

Re: Graco My Size 70???
We have it for my parents' car and I am personally not a fan at all. I can never seem to get the straps tight enough. And my mother cannot use it unless I or my father are there because my mom can't open the buckle (that's prior to recall though).
