recommend your convertible carseat
I need to buy 2 convertible carseats for DD #2. We have a Britax in my car and a Graco My Ride in DH's car. I like the Britax, but didn't want to spend that much. And althought we like the My Ride, it seems to be very reclined. TIA!

Re: recommend your convertible carseat
we have the Britax Marathon 70 and Graco My Ride 65
Out of those 2 I rec The Britax. I hate the Myride but on here I am the minority on that. The Britax is so much easier to install and adjust the straps. The myride is huge, the Britax seems a bit slimmer.

I agree that the MY Ride sems bigger. Anyone ever use the Britax Roundabout 55? It is less expensive, which is odd.

We have the Roundabout 55 - love it. Very easy to install and we have no issues with the adjustment of the straps. The Roundabout is also a bit smaller width wise than the other Britax's which was perfect for us. My DS is almost 2 and we have had no isses at all with the Roundabout.

I love my evenflo symphony. Rear facing to 40 pounds, forward facing with harnesses to 65 pounds, high back booster to 100 pounds. 8 year expiration, adjustable head rest, easy adjustable harnesses, easy to install.

same....
also, random, but are you a Citibank account holder that gets Thank You points? Britax carseats are available on their thankyou.com website. I got two of them for FREE---just for having a checking and savings account thru Citi that accrued points. They actually have a decent amount of baby stuff you can get with points.

I think I saw on Albee baby that the Britax Marathons were on sale for 199. I will double check that for you. Free shipping also on orders over 100. Let me check pishposhbaby also because there is also free shipping and no tax.

Re: recommend your convertible carseat
I love my Britax Boulevard but Ive heard good things about the Evenflo Symphony 65e. I think it has a smaller footprint than the MyRide.

Re: recommend your convertible carseat
I'm not gonna be any help  I really love my britax boulevard 70
got it on albeebaby.com... they are $240 right now, with free shipping....
a friend who also is a britax fan pointed out that yes, they're a little pricey, but when you think about how much you use them (probably several times a day), and how long they'll last you for ( probably until the child is 4/5 years old) the cost per use really isn't bad, for something that so well made...
