I don't have personal experience but find CSFTL to provide really helpful reviews. They are not big fans and find it to be difficult to install.

Oh, and for suggestions. If you definitely want a multimode seat I would look at the safety 1st grow and go EX, the graco slimfit, and the graco 4ever.

I would also consider just getting a convertible seat. The booster mode on most multimode seats tend to be bulky, short lived, and uncomfortable as kids get bigger - this has to do with them sitting up higher than traditional boosters.

I say this as someone who has and loves the 4ever, but my DD will likely outgrow it before she is old enough to switch to a booster and then by the time she is old enough AND mature enough she may not fit in the booster.

@Sams Mom: It's so nice of you to be doing this. Just keep in mind a convertible with high limits could still last until the child is 4-6, depending on stats.

@Sams Mom: if she is going to use it from the beginning I would probably skip the graco slimfit, it's hit or miss on fitting newborns. And the safety first I mentioned will be outgrown about a year before the 4ever (based on harness height). So if you are definitely going with a multimode I would, honestly, stick with the graco 4ever.

If you decide to look into convertibles, though I understand if you don't, I would look at the graco contender, graco sequel/sequence, graco size4me/mysize/fit4me, or the graco extend2fit. They would get small and average kids to booster age.
