What car seat do you have? I'm researching car seats for LO2 since I just don't care for hers. LO1 has a Graco Argos and I do like that one, so may just go with that again but I'd have to wait until I FF her then to purchase it.

We have a britax advocate which we like but it would be nice to have a cup holder.

We have a Chicco nextfit and I am very happy with it. At the time it was important that it not take up too much space RF back to front since we drove a smaller car. Now we have a bigger car but I still appreciate the legroom in the passenger seat. Installation with latch is super easy so i don't mind moving it to another car for quick trips. I have never used another seat to compare it though.
Oh and I appreciate the high RF limits. C is an average size 2 year old with plenty of room to grow (though we will turn her when baby is born in December at almost 2.5).

My car has a Britax Marathon and in DH's we have a Graco Argos. Both are very nice, but I like the Graco because of the cup holder and height/weight limits.

We have a Foonf. We were in a sedan when we bought it and loved it's small footprint. It fit better than the Radian or the Nextfit, and she loved sitting so high. She's still RFing with lots of room at a month shy of 3. I'm in the market for a convertible for DD2 now. I hate to spend the money, but we love it enough that we might just buy another one.

We've had a Britax Marathon for our first post-infant seat, then Diono Radian RXT, and now Britax Frontier for my 4-year-old.

Diono radian xt - and only because we drive a corolla and need to fit 3 back there.

We have the graco Mysize 65. Supposedly it's supposed to one of the best affordable carseats. Baby hates the car still! It feels a little hard and uncomfortable to me but he sweats less than he did in our more luxurious fancy infant bucket seat. Which he also hated !

My 3 year old is rear facing in his fllo. It's a tad smaller then the foonf and fits behind the driver seat of our Toyota Yaris. It's pricy but we love it and the extended rear facing!

Clek Fllo. High rear facing limit, can fit 3 across and the bonus was that it is Canadan.
We also got it on sale.

We have the Combi Coccoro. It has a small footprint and we love it!

Chicco NextFit. Loooove. My son (13 months) loves it, he practically leaps from my arms to get in. And I love everything about it! No complaints.

@2littlepumpkins: we have a Britax, as well (now retired) and man what I would do for a cupholder!!

We have a diono rainier, britax marathon and a graco 4ever. The graco is still in the box but I like the diono so so much!

Unfortunately, our son just outgrew the RF limit on our Combi Coccoro. It has a nice small footprint which was great in our sedan. But he is only 19mo and we want to RF him until age 2.
So, we bought a Recaro Performance Ride. It is huge, but he seems comfortable in it. The one issue I have is that the... I don't know what it's called, it's the material that cushions the lap belt clip... it falls off the belt pretty regularly and we are always re-threading it.
We also considered the Diono Radian, but (a) the Recaro has better side impact protection -- I think it conforms to European standards, but the Diono does not, but I don't remember the details and (b) Recaro also makes race car seats which appealed to my brand-whore husband!

We have the Safety 1st Complete Air and the Harmony Defender (3 in one). I have been very happy with both!

We have the Diono Radian in my car, that we absolutely love and DS really enjoys it.
We have the Evenflo Tribute in DH's car, and is used as our traveling car seat also due to it's lightweight. It's not the most comfortable thing around, but DS naps in it fine.

We have:
Graco My Ride 65
Britax Boulevard
Britax Frontier
Graco Nautilus
Cosco Scenera (for travel, but he's outgrown the weight limit).

Britax marathon, britax advocate click tight and a britax boulevard. I hate the boulevard! It's so annoying and hard to install. We don't even use it. We are getting either diono radians or marathon click tights for lo2

We have a foonf and a fllo. I prefer the fllo but love them both. The upholstery on them is magic. It's so easy to clean.

Graco 4ever. No complaints, other than the removable headrest was annoying be it always folded over, but DD doesn't use it anymore.

Britax Boulevard Clicktight. I really like it, although we did have a replacement sent after only 4 or 5 months because the "click" mechanism stopped working. Although the seat functioned fine I felt better having it work as advertised.

Nextfit zip, and I love it. Can't compare it to other convertibles, but we rented an infant seat when we went on a trip (flew, so needed a seat in the rental car), and I hated it. It made me so grateful for our seat.

Graco Headwise 65. I appreciate the ability to RF for a really long time. It isn't the best fit on an airplane, but it DOES fit. Ummm ... I like that the straps don't get twisted (it's all a loop and self-contained), and the fabric seems to wash up nicely.
The price point is really good too.

Graco 4ever - i bought 2 on sale at BRU for only $215 each!! And I have not a single complaint about it.

@BabyTsMom: we also have a Britax Boulevard Clicktight and love it!

We have a Fllo, an Evenflo Symphony, and two travel convertibles that i forget the names of.
The Fllo is my hands down favorite. Ordering another once I decide on color.
