Convertable Carseat- Graco MyRide 65 or Evenflo Symphony??

I bought the Graco today because DD1 had that seat and I know it gets good reviews, but the Evenflo caught my eye.

Is there anywhere I can see which is rated as a better carseat?

The guy in BRU said that Britax is the best (too much $$ for me right now) followed by Graco.

Any input?? I'm only looking at these 2 seats.

Convertable Carseat- Graco MyRide 65 or Evenflo Symphony??

I have an evenflo symphony for DS and will be getting another one when Chat Icon 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.
