**Need Your Help** Stat...Britax and the City Mini ladies...I am running out to BRU
I have the Britax Marathon in Platinum, and recently saw the Boulevard, and the Graco My Ride 65....WHICH ONE IS BETTER? If you can answer why you like them, that would be super helpful....
CITY MINI- My front pivot wheel broke, and only stays straight now, no pivot...I am so tiffed, because I have only had it for a few months...Will BRU replace it, or do I need to go through Baby Jogger? I still want the stroller, just with a working pivot!
THANK YOU!!!

we have the boulevard. i can't really compare it to any of the other ones since that's all we have....
what questions do you have about it?
where do you live? if you are local, you can totally stop by and check it out!
loey is really comfy in it. he puts his arms up on the sides and sits like a little man! hahaha. it's high enough so that he can look out the window and he looooves that! the straps are easy to adjust and we don't need to move them at all to get him in and out.

Re: **Need Your Help** Stat...Britax and the City Mini ladies...I am running out to BRU
I have seen them all in the store, and chose the marathon, even though people at BRU, and BBB both recommmended the Graco 65, I have heard Britax is the best on here, but now, I am wondering if I should have got the Bou;evard for the side impact factor.
Sux about my city mini..I wantd top just go get a brand new one, not have to call Baby Jogger...oh well..
THANK YOU!

Not to play the other side but there are many great seats besides Britax. I orgainlly wanted a britax. No one got it for us for the Shower so we didn't buy something till it was time. Well, after the newer models came out and seeing the price (ours was 400 bucks) and we needed 2, we decided to start over again and shop.
With that said, We decided on the The First Years Tru Fit. I believe with the features and the comfort, its right up there with any other car seat.
Price wise, for the price of one britax, i have 2 of these seats... i urge you to look at other products. I truly think britax is popular like the iphone but other poducts out there are more then capable of doing the job and keeping your baby safe.
keep in mind, everybody preference is different..it really depends on who you talk to in the store.

We have the Britax Roundabout and Graco MyRide65 and love them both. The roundabout is perfect for DH's smaller car and the MyRide65 is in my jeep... it's big but I love that. DD is very comfy in both and I have no complaints about either one. You can't go wrong with either brand, IMO.
Definitely contact baby jogger for the stroller.

Pretty much all of this.
ALL seats sole on the market must comply with the same standards and pass the same rigorous testing. Any seat on the market is safe as long as it is installed and used properly.
It becomes a matter of preference but ultimately you should investigate ALL options. If you limit yourself to one brand you may end up with a seat that really doesn't meet your needs. Take your kid, your DH and go to the stores and play with them. Look for things like higher weight limits to rear face, tall harness slots, easy to use (put your kid in and out, tighten and loosen the harness system) BRU will usually let you test the floor model in your vehicle for fit.
We have a True Fit, a MyRide and a Boulevard and all were purchased based on specific needs. We purchased a Boulevard because at the time not many seats went to 35lbs RF, had a no rethread harness, could be tethered RF and was readily available (and was on sale) DH hates, HATES the Boulevard, hates the harness system, hates how high it sits, hates how little legroom DD has.. but, I think I would have to pry the MyRide out of his cold, dead hands. He loves it, DD loves it. DD is still RF at 2.5 and has much more room in the MyRide than the Boulevard, and when given the choice between mommy's or daddy's car she always chooses daddy's for the seat (plus it has those nifty cupholders). We have the TrueFit at her sitter's house because it has built in lockoffs, no rethread harness and was within our budget at the time. It's a big seat but it sits much lower than the Boulevard and even the MyRide so it is a better fit for her vehicle.
The "best" seat is the seat that fits your vehicle, your child AND your budget.
