Tell me about your carseat and why you like it.

I know what Baby Bargins says but I want to hear real feedback. I need to get another carseat for Molly as she is outgrowing her infant seat. I want to know which works the best and why.

Thanks! Chat Icon

I LOVE the Britax Marathon. It is roomy and it has a lot of padding. The straps never get tangled. It got good Baby Bargains and Consumer report ratings

We have 4 Marathons and an Evenflo Triumph and I have to say that the Marathons were worth every penny for convenience alone. The straps never tangle, easy to install in a car or on a plane, and so comfy!Chat Icon

Another Marathon fan! The straps never tangle, there's velcro on the sides that when you take the baby out u stick it too so it ready when you put them back in.

It's roomy, was soo easy to install, DD falls asleep in it everytime we are in the car. She rests her little head on the little shoulder pad/rest on the straps.

I had DD in there in a heavy LL bean pram and she still had lots of wiggle room.

I am def getting another one for #2.

We went with the Boulevard, I think it got the best safety ratings, has a lot of padding, etc... I really only got it b/c it was the safest.

Another marathon fan here I have one and my DD is 2 1/2 and still has room. ITs so easy to install we have had to take it out of our car and put it in other cars and its a breeze to do. The padding is great she falls asleep in it alot when we go out. The material comes out easy so you can wash it. I don't know if DD will still be in it when baby #2 comes and grows out of the infant carseat but if thats the case we will def get another marathon

I have the Britax Roundabout. The same as the Marathon as far as padding and safety but the roundabout only goes up to 40lbs while the Marathon is 65lbs.

We have the Triumph (don't care for it) and the Recaro Young Sport (love it!). The Recaro is made by the people who make the safety seats for race cars. It has side protection for the head (that he also rests his head on when he sleeps). The cover removes easily and actually gets softer the more you wash it. It is so easy to install (if you have the tether system). The harness and straps are very easy to use. We got it at BBB and they let us use the 20% off coupon on it.
