We currently own a Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite convertible seat. It was never meant to be a long-term item, we needed one right away because C outgrew her infant seat and we couldnt wait for one to be shipped here. I like that it breask down into a booster seat and it will be able to handle her until she can just sit in the seat with the seatbelt though (it has a 65lb weight limit for the harness and a 100lb one for the booster).

We always meant to get a higher end seat as our primary seat when I got back to the states and then use the Alpha as our secondary seat to be moved between my parents cars and DHs car.

So, I THINK Im down between the Recaro ProRide and the Britax Marathon 70-G3. They are similar, have the same weight limits, etc. The seat will be installed in an 06 Nissan Maxima.

Any opinions? Did anyone try them? Own one of them? What do you think?
