Convertible carseat recommendations

Question

Hey mamas! 
What are some good convertible car seats you would recommend? I’m currently on the hunt for one, but I’m not sure which brand would be the best as far as installation and protection. Recommendations please :)

Answer

This is the one we bought and I love it. I even had a preemie (5lbs2oz at birth, 4lbs14oz leaving the hospital) and he fits well in it. It’s very easy to install and to put baby in / take baby out. It’s also not overly expensive for a convertible seat that will last him a long time.

Answer

We LOVE this car seat!! It is also awesome this it allows you to add an extra 5inches of leg room when refacing. This worked well for us as our little one has always been in the 99 percentile for height!

Answer

This is the one we have. Works just like any other and can be used rear facing and forward facing for quite a while. I was also able to get a pretty good deal on it compared to the graco version. 
All cars seats are required to meet the same standards so it really depends on if you want to have to buy another car seat and how long you want to last

Answer

I love our Britax convertible seat. We had the infant seat too and loved it just as much. Rear faces to 50 pounds. Super easy, fool proof install.

Answer

I have this seat in my car and love it! It’s plush. It feels sturdy, it’s easy to adjust. My baby quickly outgrew the infant seat and I wanted something that would last awhile. We just turned him front facing and I still love it! The buckle on the chest I feel like is so much better than other brands buckles. It’s a little different but once you get it it’s one hand operational and the best part is the kids can’t get it themselves. 
In my husbands truck which has less room we went with a graco slim fit which I also love and highly recommend.

Answer

Britax are basically bombproof and the clicktight makes it really easy to get a good install. I love our clek foonf because it sits a little higher and he can look out the window. Nuna rava is great too. 
I personally despise graco. None of them are easy to get a good install, the fabrics feel cheap, and the straps aren’t the easiest to tighten properly. 
As a general thing, look for seats with high rear facing limits- 50lbs. I prefer seats with wool instead of chemical flame retardants. Try it in your car before you buy it if you have any concern about legroom at all.

Answer

Find one that rear face as long as possible. Safeintheseat on Instagram have a great list:
