Sorry it has been awhile guys..... I have been very busy lately. My son is now 10 months old, and since the car seats page has been the most popular, I feel my more recent experiences with car seats would be useful. So, we sadly had to part with the infant car seat/ carrier because a little boy is not quite so little anymore. We currently have two different car seats. Both are made by Safety 1st (they seem to top a lot of charts on safety).
Car Seat #1:
The first one we got was the Safety 1st Complete Air 65 SE Protect Convertible Car Seat. This is great on support. It is also very easy to install (according to Daddy AND MOMMY! ). There are a few setbacks with this one. The padding almost makes it uncomfortable for my son since he sits so far up. When he falls asleep, he's usually slumped over. I have tried different things for his head, but that just seems to get worse. This car seat is also very pricey (over $175). We got this as a shower gift; so, it was not a problem, but it could potentially be for anyone buying their own.
Car Seat #2:
The second car seat we got was for my husband's car (he rarely rides in this one). We purchased this one - similar to above; so, I did not want to spend as much as the other seat cost. After a good bit of shopping and research, we decided to go with the Safety 1st OnSide Air Protect Convertible Car Seat, Bedrock Black. At first, I was concerned that this car seat would be uncomfortable. This does not seem to be a problem. In fact, my son likes it more because he can see better, and he is not sitting so far forward. It is also a good bit cheaper, which is nice. I also learned right before purchasing this that all car seats in the US meet the proper safety regulations....a lot of the extra stuff is for the look more than anything. While I am not suggesting putting your child in the cheapest car seat, it gives me peace of mind to know I can be safe without spending an arm and a leg. The only downside to this car seat is it is a little harder to install (hooks instead of seat belt buckles). I would definitely recommend this car seat.
BOOSTER #1: Evenflo Big Kid AMP Booster Seat
This has been great. It still is somewhat like a car seat, minus the head support. Damon loves it and feels like a big boy. It definitely made the transition easier especially since his little brother got the old car seat.
