We have the Britax Marathon. DS is 9 months, we put him in it at 7 months when he outgrew the Snugride.

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

We're still using the Britax Roundabout. I'm pretty sure it goes up to 40 lbs and Lily is approx. 29 lbs now, so I'm hoping to get some more time out of it. Then I have no idea what we'll get. Time to start thinking about that I guess.

We have the Britax Roundabout. I think it was $220. We started putting DD in it around 7 months.

Britax Frontier

Graco Nautilus

Neither cost me anything because I used points from my debit card/checking account. I believe the Frontier retails for about $270 and the Nautilus for about $170.00

ETA: DD went in them about 2 months ago when I switched the baby to the convertible seats since he outgrew his infantseat.

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

I just bought the Recaro Como for DS because it goe up to 70lbs and our corrent seat only goes to 40- it's a Graco Comfort and he's loved it, but closing in on the weight. I bought two Recaro's on Woot yesterday for $99 each. They retail for $250 and the best I've seen them selling for is $149, so I got a steal. I love that it has side impact and is copared to the Britax seats. He's 28months. I figure by the time he gets close to outgrowing this onw, I will put him in a booster and our second child in this one.

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

We put DD in the Frontier in December. We used to have her in a Marathon but it was getting a little tight for her. I think it was about 240 or 250 on sale at Target.

She was almost 3 when we put her in the frontier.

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

Jacob went into the Graco Nautilus about 2 months ago. I love the seat!!!
He fits in it well and I love the cup holder.

We found the best price was on amazon- $140 plus free shipping..

I didn't want to spend a ton of money againa nd it got great reviews..

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

We started with the Graco Comfortsport in both our cars. I had so many problems with mine and finally decided to get the Evenflo Triumph. SO MUCH EASIER ON MY BODY!!!!!! I love the knob on the side to tighten the straps, instead of pulling on the damn strap between the legs. Worth every penny!

We have these 2 as well. Britax for my car, Graco for DH. I am probably making the switch later this month.

Ped. said she cant go into a booster til she is 4 or 4.5 and she will only be 3 in June so I guess Im gonna have to buy another carseat...ugh..$$$$$$

Re: Show me your toddler car seat...

ohh didnt realize that the nautilus converts to a booster. I think I may have to go for that one so atleast I dont have to buy a booster when she outgrows the carseat.

My son was in the Marathon from 4 months old until he was 4.5. Then we moved him to the Grace Turbo Booster.
