Go Feb babies! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1421662 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:41:02 +0000 Ginabean3 1421662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Noted! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1421658 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:38:36 +0000 loveisstrange 1421658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Its also called the Headwise and the Size4Me. Same seat, different names. Way to be confusing Graco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1421641 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:34:09 +0000 dojo 1421641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have a Diono Radian in our CRV and just bought a Graco Headwise 70 as our back-up. We just started using them. You could always ask the FB group Carseats for the Littles to get a recommendation! </p> <p>Also my LO is turning one next Thurs so our littles are almost the same age! Happy early birthday to yours! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1421621 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:28:43 +0000 Ginabean3 1421621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Thank you so much for your input! I'll put that Graco My Size 70 on my list to check out as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1421459 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 16:46:13 +0000 loveisstrange 1421459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Graco My Size 70 in my CRV and it fits wonderfully. It's also one of the longest lasting RFing car seats on the market, if that matters to you. My giant sized almost 2 year old is still RFing in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1420297 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:02:47 +0000 Ginabean3 1420297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: thank you! Great advice! I think LO is pretty normal for her age (1 yr next Friday, 22 lbs , 27 in long) but it would be nice to get a car seat that will last for a long time! DH is 6"3 so who knows...LO might have a growth spurt and turn into a giant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1420164 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:20:30 +0000 tororojo 1420164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: You might want to take a look at weight/height limits as you're narrowing down car seat choice. I have heard great things about Britax convertibles but if you've got a tall kiddo, I don't think they last as long. We have a Diono Radian in our Corolla (which is for sure smaller than your car! also my kiddo is a giant) and it fits great with the angle adjuster, giving us more leg room in front than with her infant seat (Britax B-Safe). I like that we'll never have to buy another car seat for LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1420135 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:10:24 +0000 autumnlove 1420135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Britax Blvd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1420097 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:57:26 +0000 Ginabean3 1420097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Thank you! Yah, right now I have her in the middle and it's a pain to get her in and out. I'm little so I have to climb ALL the way into the car to unsnap her and lift her out. Whereas DH is tall and has long arms and can just lean in and get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419742 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:14:43 +0000 swedishfish 1419742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I have R behind the passenger side. I know the safest spot is in the middle but I have a tough time getting her in and out on the side. The straps are definitely harder to adjust than the B-Safe infant seat we have. I'm not sure what the difference is...maybe the G4 is the newer model? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419729 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:10:31 +0000 Ginabean3 1419729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: thank you! I'm not familiar with the Recaro but will definitely take a look when we go to Buy Buy Baby :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419726 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:09:34 +0000 Ginabean3 1419726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! Also does anyone know what the difference between the G3 and G4 Marathon models are? And are they easy to put your LO in (like physically put them in) and adjust/tighten/loosen the straps....while they are still rear facing? And....last question.....where do you have them in the back seat if they are still RF? Behind driver, middle, or behind passenger side? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419683 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:33:17 +0000 hellobeeboston 1419683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, we also have a CRV and a britax marathon!! No complaints, it's the only seat we have used besides the britax infant seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419643 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:40:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1419643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a CR-V and we've had two: Britax Marathon and Diono Radian RXT w/ angle adjuster. The former is easier to use, but the latter has allowed us to keep our son RF even though he's tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419630 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:22:26 +0000 swedishfish 1419630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a Britax Marathon 70-G3 and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419628 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:21:16 +0000 bunnylove08 1419628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend has a crv and has a britax marathon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419594 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:43:00 +0000 Tidybee 1419594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 CR-Vs and we have the britax marathon in both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419519 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 01:08:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1419519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a honda Cr-v and we have the recaro seat. We love it in there. The angle of the seat fits awesome with the angle of the seats in the car so we save maximum amount of space. It is not a small car seat, but it still fits well. We also have an infant seat in there as well for my youngest. We will absolutely be getting another recaro when dd2 is ready for one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419492 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:18:09 +0000 VanillaBean 1419492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive a Honda CRV, too! I ended up getting a Britax Marathon 70-G3 in waverly and love it. I think it is reasonably price and got great reviews. I got mine on sale just under 200 a few months back. It was easy to install, easy to get my son in/out, easy adjustment for height, and the fabric is nice and soft. My son did not like being in his baby carseat and would cry and fuss; however, he was a different baby in the Britax Marathon. He is a happier baby in his convertible, no more crying and likes to nap in it. </p> <p>Good luck in your search. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-best-convertible-car-seat-for-a-honda-cr-v#post-1419458 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 23:47:14 +0000 Ginabean3 1419458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's your opinion Bees? LO is close to growing out of her infant seat and we need to start looking for a convertible seat. I drive a Honda CR-V.</p> <p>And....not interested in the Clek Foonf...too expensive for us :-( </p>
