Need help picking a convertible car seat ladies
Which one is the best one on the market? I am finding it hard to have time to do the research b/c i am so busy. I know Britax seems to be the most popular but what about other brands?

Can I ask which model of the Triumph you have? I need to buy a carseat for DH's car.
I have the Britax Roundabout, but haven't used it yet. I'm waiting for DS's official weigh in for his 12 month appointment next week.

Re: Need help picking a convertible car seat ladies
we have the graco comfortsport and hate it!!!!!!!! too hard to tighten, which loosens the straps holding it into place.

I have the Graco ComfortSport..and LOVE it! I have had no problems. DH has the Evenflo Triumph, and that is also very easy to use in my opinion.

Re: Need help picking a convertible car seat ladies
I know you asked about other brands but I have 2 Britax Marathons and can't say a single bad thing about them. One I've used with 2 kids since 2003 and the other I've had for 4 years with my DD. The straps never twist - something I have found with every other carseat I've ever tried - and the fabric has help up beautifully. They say don't dry in the dryer but I do and they are still gorgeous. We have extras in my DH's car that were another brand (can't recall - Evenflo maybe? they were hand me downs from my brother's kids) and the straps are always twisted and they are just not the quality of the Britax. Theyare $$$ but over the life of the seat, worth it.

I could not agree more.....I have used many different car seats and none compare to the Britax quality. They are worth every penny!

After looking at the protective padding of other brands vs. Britax we went with Britax.
