I have the Nextfit and we love it! Super easy to install, roomy for my LO with long legs but doesn't take up a crazy amount of space in the backseat, easy to adjust, and it just feels very safe and solid yet cushy. The Zip would be a nice upgrade for cleaning purposes - it didn't exist yet when we bought ours.

And not a convertible, but if either kid is forward facing I also like our Graco Nautilus Elite. It takes a few more minutes to install than the Nextfit or the more expensive Britax Combination seats, but it takes up a really minimal amount of space, is easy to adjust (main reason I got the Wlite), still has a steel reinforcement, and it was much cheaper than buying another Nextfit. It works as their forward facing five point harness seat (same level of safety as a forward facing convertible seat) and then it can convert to a high back and backless booster, so it should be the last seat I ever need to buy.

We have one NextFit (zip) and one Peg Perego. I love them both for different reasons. They are both well padded and easy for us to get my daughter in and out of the car.

We just got the Nextfit (not zip), we love it! Easy to install, very plush/comfy for K! We also have a Britax Bouluvard in my mom's car that we got for a great deal, we like that one too!

Graco My Size 70. Love, love, love it. It's a great seat and really good for extended rear-facing. Plus, it's a lot easier on the pocketbook than a lot of the others with similar stats.

Clek Foonf. She loves how high she sits in it. I love how solid it is and how easy it is to install. It took up less space RF in my sedan than seats with comparable stats (Nextfit, Radian - extended RF is important to me). I have a Graco MySize in my mom's car, and it does the job at a lower price point, but I don't like it as well. It's less roomy for her (now that she's older) even though it's bulkier in the car. It's fine, but if it's in the budget, I want another Foonf for DD2.

I have the Peg Perego and my 3 year old loves it.

We have the Peg Perego, and it's great - seems comfy and it's easy to use.

I have a son who's 2.5 and a 6.5 month daughter who's not in a convertible yet, but I've already bought her seats already. I haven't bought 2 of the same seats yet, unless you count the Rainier and Radian as the same (Rainier is new version of Radian).

We have:
An Evenflo Tribute - easy to install, but our son is 2.5 and he's too tall for it already. A good backup seat.
A Recaro Proride - comfy, sits high up so the kid can see out the window, easy to adjust (knobs! no rethreading!) and straps never twist. Love it, except bc it sits so high it's kind of difficult to get the kid into. This is my husband's favorite seat.
A Diono Radian RXT - I really like this seat, solid, easy to install. We replaced this seat when DH had an accident in our van (no kids in it, thankfully!) Though the Diono Rainier that I bought for DD is comfier, says DS, and seems easier to install and adjust.
A Safety 1st Guide 65 - This is by far the easiest seat I've ever had to install, EVER. Tied w/the Rainier for my current favorite seat.
Graco Milestone - haven't used this yet, but it's the carseat I chose to have insurance replace the crashed Diono Radian with. I could chose a "comparable" seat, and it allegedly performs better as a booster than the Rainier.

I'm using my car seat trade up to get DS a Graco Evolve Platinum. (not a convertible.)
