Which car seats do you have?

By Bao Nov 24, 2014

LO2 is still in her infant seat but we are looking to switch her soon, she's getting way too heavy for me to lug around. We have two convertible car seats from LO1, one is a Graco and one is an Evenflo, which we are not a fan of. The Evenflo just doesn't tighten without a battle. LO1 is in the Graco Argos which we really like. We eventually want to get those same car seats for LO2 but she can't use it for a while.

Which car seats do you have? Do you love them? Wish you would've tried something different?

Love our britax pavilion and advocate. Meh about our evenflo tribute, we use as travel car seat and as a spare in my dads car. No padding whatsoever, doesn't seem comfy at all.

I love our Graco MyRide 65! It's a wide seat but H seems to be very comfy, especially on long trips.

@mrsjyw: Yes, that's the one we have. It stinks!

We have a Graco My Size 70 (love it. Comfy, easy to install, easy to adjust, not crazy expensive), an Alpha Omega Elite (hate it. It's getting replaced very shortly), and my mom has a Graco Nautilus in her car (adequate, but not my favorite and wont be buying one for our cars).

We're looking at the Britax Pinnacle 90/Frontier 90 to replace the AO Elite.

We have three Britax Boulevard car seats and have had no issues. Will most likely buy another for my in-law's car.

We have a Peg Perego Primo Viagio convertible. I really like it. We have a tiny car (Yaris) so this one is supposed to be the smallest front to back convertible seat that still allows for extended rear facing. I really like it. Wish it had a cupholder. But it's super easy to install and adjust and feels really premium.

Then we have two Evenflo Triump LX seats. One for my parents who live locally and one for DH's parents so we don't have to bring ours when we visit. I don't have a ton of experience with it, but I like the way it adjusts with a dial. The straps feel a little stiff, and the fabric isn't the softest, but it seems just fine for a second (and 3rd) seat, and pretty good for under $100.

We have a peg perego primo viaggio convertible. Love it. It is super comfy and easy to use. We also have a safety first guide 65 for our travel seat, and it's fine. does the job.

We have a graco 4ever in my car )which we are always in) and a snugride35 for emergencies in my husbands car. Love the 4ever. We will get a cheaper second seat for emergencies/travel when she outgrows the snugride.

Boulevard convertibles and don't love. The straps are hard to adjust IMO. Have Chico key fit infant seat and I think it's great.

We have a Clek Foonf in my car (only because I won it at Mommycon) and a Graco MyRide 65 in Hubs' car. Honestly? I prefer the Graco. I like that it has cup holders in it. Though the Clek is easier to tighten the straps. So, toss-up. But if we had to purchase another one, I'd go with the Graco. The Clek just isn't worth the extra money to me.

We just ordered a Britax Boulevard ClickTight, and I am so excited! It is a really awesome seat, and LO seemed happy in it in the store.

We currently have the Chicco infant seat. For an infant seat, it's not bad, but next time, I'm going for the convertible. It was way too big of a pain with the infant seat. I could see using it again if we had a winter baby, but otherwise? Forget it.

DD1 is in a Clek Foonf and DD2 is in a Chicco Keyfit. I'd recommend both. We have zero complaints about the Foonf, and my only complaints about the Keyfit are that the sunshade is too small and the fabric gets hot in the summer.

@rattles: I think I missed your news about DD2's arrival. Congratulations!!

We have a keyfit and britax marathon. I love how the marathon has the click tight and I don't have to re thread the straps and it's easy to switch between cars. I also have the carrying case for travel. I need to decide on another car seat soon because DD is 20 lbs and way too heavy for infant seat!

We have two Graco My Size 70s (one for each car) and love them. Easy to install, easy to use, and has one of the highest rear-facing height limits, which was important to us.

Only caveat is that it's kind of bulky. Not an issue in my Honda Accord (and I'm 5'6"), but a little bit of a pain for Hubs' Toyota Corolla. Works great in the middle seat without affecting the front seats, but will make the front passenger seat a little cramped when we move it behind that one.

That surprises me about the Evenflo! We have the SureRide and I find it super easy to tighten and loosen (way easier than our Maxi Cosi Pria!).

I have the Britax Pavilion with click-safe and I love it. We are getting another one for LO2.

@Bao: I have two of this one! This is what we bought to replace the ones from my car accident. They are super easy to install in any car.

We have had our ClickTight for a week now, and it was a seriously awesome decision!

I just bought LO1 a britax frontier clicktight. I am exited for him to get a new seat and we can give LO2 his Britax Boulevard since he is outgrowing the chicco keyfit.

We have a Graco Headwise 70 (pretty much the same thing as the My Size 70), a Chicco Nextfit, and a Combi Coccoro. The Coccoro is great in small spaces but super hard to install and L just outgrew it for rear-facing at 18 months, hence the purchase of the Graci. The Nextfit is amazing and SO easy to install but kinda pricey. The Graco was very reasonably priced (especially with holiday deals!), was reasonably easy to install (though not as idiot-proof as the Nextfit), and is kinda in between space-wise.

We have a Britax Boulevard in my car (love it!) And just bought A one for Christmas. We have some random evenflo in DHs car that is okay, not great. We use it like 1x month so I don't care. Looking for another cheap seat for A in his car.
