Which convertible carseat?

DS is growing very rapidly and he may outgrow his infant carseat quicklier than I thought.

I am leaning towards the Britax. But which one?

Where can I see the reviews of carseats?

This is the one we have. I could not justify paying that much for the Britax

We have the Boulevard. It's the only one on the market with true side-impact protection.

Re: Which convertible carseat?

I have the Britax Marathon and I love it. I like that it holds the higher weight limit, my son seems very comfy and it got great reviews.

I also have the Triumph and my son doesn't like being in this seat at all! He always seems squished and he seems to know the difference.

I have the marathon, but think I may switch to this one, becaues of the side-impact. His infant seat has the side impact, and I love it.

How do you find that your kids heads fit with the side impact though? Does it make it too tight for their head?

DS is 4, and so far there are absolutely no problems. He has plenty of room to move his head comfortably. You just need to keep an eye on the level of the head part, and adjust it as they grow.

Thanks, I think I may exchange it.
