The Cosco is super light and I don't mind if I have to check it, whereas I am a little more conservative with the Britax...it's heavy and wide and I wouldn't want to check it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71264 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:39:01 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 71264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Britax Marathon and really like it. It installs pretty easily (we've even taken it on trips) and lulls Baby Y to sleep pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71261 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:35:57 +0000 sulli301 71261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: is that pretty easy to get in &amp; out quickly then? We are looking for one that we can have for when we use DHs car or my in-laws so that we don't have to take out the one in my car every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71259 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:35:40 +0000 mrstilly 71259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought the Britax Boulevard when DS was 8 months old and got to heavy in the infant seat for me to carry to and from the car. DS was 22 pounds then. I LOVE the carseat! It fits well in my car, better than the infant seat, as far as front-to-back space goes, and DS seems really comfortable in it. It's easy to harness and a great height for getting him in and out in my car. We don't plan to have another child for a while, so I wasn't too concerned about width, but the Sunshine Kids (now Diono) Radian was my second choice seat and they can fit 3 wide in most cars. </p> <p>We are going to get a Graco MyRide for DH's car, since he drives DS a lot less often. and it's about half as much money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71238 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:23:28 +0000 Boogs 71238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Chicco Keyfit 30 as our infant seat and because of the weight allowance, I think we will be okay with just using it for the next 2 months (LO is just about 10 months old). I don't love any of the convertible car seats because they are all bulky. We plan on getting this seat for his first birthday, the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0011URFRE/ref=aw_ls__1?coliid=I1VUL1RB935AY6&#038;vs=1&#038;colid=2DW96NAQZKJO4" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0011URFRE/ref=aw_ls__1?coliid=I1VUL1RB935AY6&#038;vs=1&#038;colid=2DW96NAQZKJO4</a></p> <p>I like multi-purpose items, so I like that it has the booster and LO can use it until he's able to use a seat belt, it's a great price, it's the highest rated by consumer reports, and it has lots of other great reviews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71237 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:23:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 71237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have the combi coccoro convertible carseat because it's very lightweight and slim. we don't drive so we needed a lightweight one to use when we take cabs or zipcar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71234 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:22:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 71234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Britax Marathon (convertible carseat) and love it! He stayed rear-facing til almost 2. </p> <p>We also have a Roundabout and a Boulevard (hand-me-downs) to use in the grandparents' cars eventually and they're great too. Can't go wrong with Britax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-car-seats-convertible-car-seats#post-71222 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:11:25 +0000 winniebee 71222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So what did you get for a car seat after the infant car seat? Is it what's known as the convertible car seat? </p> <p>Which convertible carseat do you have? Do you like it? </p>
