Need convertible car seat recommendations

[donthasslethehoff]

Can anyone recommend their convertible car seat? Our baby is 10 weeks old and about 12lbs, so obviously I am looking for one that is infant friendly. I am going back to work in 2 weeks and am planning on giving the nanny our infant car seat and installing a convertible in ours. Looking to spend < $200.

we love our britaxes - we have a marathon and a roundabout.

We were very happy with our Britax seats, a Roundabout and a Marathon. If I had to choose, I'd go with the Marathon because it was bigger, had higher limits, and (IMO) was easier to install and use...I found the strap release much better on it. But the Roundabout was still a great seat if price is a concern. The only worry is if you have a bigger kid, which DD #2 was, s/he might outgrow it more quickly.

We've been happy with our Evenflo Triumph Advance. We particularly like the mechanism for tightening the straps.

We love our Britax Boulevard. It's pricier, but I was able to get it for about $180 brand new, but open box, on eBay. It was even manufactured very recently to when I bought it.

We have a Recaro Proride and love it. I've found it to be much cooler in the hot weather than the Britax that I borrowed from a friend.

We like the britax roundabout for our main seat. We use the Cosco scenera as a secondary seat in my husbands car (which is rarely used)

Have 2 britaxes but strongly considered the Radian, as it folds for travel and turns into a booster. Little more $ than $200 though.
