3blessings (848.9 days ago) I`m sorry but I have never heard of any of those brands, but then again I really haven't checked out carseats as DD's was a gift from my parents! I have a graco for both my girls, and they seem to both work really well. I wish I could be more help!
sharafly (849.3 days ago) I just got the Graco MyRide 65 for my son who is 17 months old. It is rear facing until 40 pounds, which is the highest out right now. It will allow me to keep him rear facing for a long time to come. It is very sturdy and very comfortable for him. He falls asleep instantly in this seat. It is super easy to install as well. Best thing - it`s only $150 bucks :-)
ilovemy2littleprinces (849.4 days ago) idk no way in heck id spend 300 bucks on a carseat, i have the alpha omega and i love it and i like that it RF to 35lbs. its plush and comfy and we have a jetta and it fits good in the backseat
Akthel (849.4 days ago) I use Alpha Omega and they are great 3 in 1 car seats, but had I known I would be having three LOs in car seats at the same time I would have invested in the Sunshine Kids Radian80 as you can put three across. We do have a third row in our vehicle, but there would be so much more room if we only had to use one row and have the third row folded down.
angie2008 (849.4 days ago) I have and love the alpha omega, I can`t see spending hunderds of dollars on a carseat. They all have to meet the same requirements to be deemed `safe.` i would go with the alpha omega.
sammy28 (849.4 days ago) thanks so much for your comments!! I greatly appreciate :)
luvbeingamom (849.4 days ago) Britax carseats are the safest on the market and generally have the highest weight limits for a 5 pt harness. With that said, We have the alpha omega that i lovethat my younger son is in now. It is great b/c it can go rear or front facing. However for us it is a transition seat. Now that my son is 2 we are going to be moving him to the Britax Regent or the new britax seat (need to do more research on it first) Frontier. it is suppose to go to 100lbs in a 5pt harness, vs the 80lbs of the regent. I have a large 4 yr old (he is currently the avg sizeof a 6 yr old) and an avg sized 2 yr old. My older son grew out of the alpha omega when he was just 2. After that he would have had to be in a booster and that just isn`t as safe as a 5pt harness. If you have any specific questions about that seat or the britax please just ask, i have done a lot of research including speaking with someone that does the testing at the insurance institute of highway safety.
adkinsrus07 (849.4 days ago) Honestly they are expensive- but very worth teh quality and safety and the amazing comfort they provide baby-to-toddler BRITAX =)

soon2be3 (849.4 days ago) We have the Alpha Omega and the Sunshine Kids Radian60. Both are great. We really like the SunshineKids 60 because it is narrower than most car seats, which allows us to have two car seats and a booster in the back of our Camry (we have three little ones). We use two Sunshin Kids and one Clek booster. We have the Alpha Omega in hubby`s Durango. The only reason we switched is because the bulk of our other seats wouldn`t fit three across. The sunshine is really easy to get on and off. One of our Alpha`s is difficult to buckle....you have to cross the should clips at the clasp before you can slide them into the buckle. Kind of a pain with a squirming child. I think they improved on this though with the new ones.
lovemyfamily (849.4 days ago) True Fit Convertible Car Seat Cappucino
by The First Years , I have the girl version of this carseat and it is AMAZING. I got it from the safetysuperstore. Product Features
Color Name: Cappuccino
* The First Years True Fit C630 Convertible Car Seat Receives Highest Given Rating From the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
* Unique removable headrest for a better fit in the back seat when used in the rear-facing position
* The True Fit features a 5-point harness that grows with your child from 5 to 65 pounds

We got pulled over twice before and BOTH police officers told us they had the same carseat!! VERY SAFE.
daisymae (849.5 days ago) Sammy- We have the Britax Boulevard and we love it. Pricy but we really like it. Have you decided when to turn Alex around? I know we should wait but Brayden`s feet are already propped up on the back of the seat. He`s tall for his age.
sammy28 (849.5 days ago) By the way my son is 1 years old. I forgot to mention that :) We are moving out of his travel system seat which holds up to 30lb....thanks to those who responded on my other poll. I looked up information for all of them and pretty much narrowed down to the choices above. Not unless some other great suggestions come in. Thanks again!!
