car seat recommendations?

I'd really like to move DS out of his infant car seat (besides the fact I hate it--he seems very big for it and is jsut under the height and weight limit) I know he still needs to be rear facing until one year but am wondering what carseat is everyone using, any good recommnedations? I have read a lot of good things about Britax but am not really sure....I feel like I am preparing to register again, LOL, doing research!!

We just got dd the evenflow triumph premier. It has the latch system for rear facing along with forward facing. I heard good things about it, and my sister said it was in consumer report and rated one of the top.

Re: car seat recommendations?

I like the Britax Boulevard because of the Side Impact Protection. Recaro seats have it too. There's another Britax with SIP that is a little smaller than the Boulevard as well.

We have an Eddie Bauer 3 in 1 and a Graco Comfortsport and we don't have a problem with either.

Re: car seat recommendations?

We have the Britax Roundabout and are very happy with it. We travel by plane alot and it's small enough that it's not too bad bringing it on the plane, etc.

Not according to the evenflo website.... I just looked, and there was no mention anywhere of the Triumph having SIP features...
