Re: Reccommend your carseat

Just keep in mind ladies that the Britax car seats are the most difficult to install in your car. So if you get a Britax, make sure you have a trained police officer to install it. Chat Icon

For my Chat Icon we have the Peg-Perego Viaggio infant car seat that we use for now. I love it - plus I can use it with the Peg stroller. Later on, we will be using the Evenflo Triumph as this convertible seat.

baby bargains book, consumer reports, amazon reviews, and then visiting the store to see them in person...

some carseats (ex. britax) can be too large for certain cars... so keep that in mind while shopping about....

Re: Reccommend your carseat

we are getting the britax diplomat convertible car seat - the reviews say that it's smaller than the others so it's easier to fit into most cars.

we have the chicco cortina travel system as well, that car seat goes up to 30lbs.

I have the same! Chicco for now and Britax Marathon for later, Britax got amazing reviews on Consumer Reports and high marks in the Baby Bargains book too!
Good luck, it is overwhelming in the begining but you research so much you will be a pro in no time Chat Icon
