Convertable car seat

We are starting to get ready to buy our convertable car seat and we have no clue which ones to buy so i going to my greatest resource YOU
any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

 

Check out www.Elitecarseats.com. They have everything on there, including consumer reviews. The Britax is supposed to be the best. I was planning on getting the Marathon, but two will not fit side by side in my truck. I'm still trying to figure out what to get, since I have to move my 6 month olds up soon, because they are almost at the weight limit. Good luck!

 

I totally recommend Marathons! I have two for my boys and they are so easy to install and use and their cust service is beyond excellent. They fit RF in my Honda ody and dh's suburban. they are pricey, but they will last for 5-6 years or so. So in the long run VERY cost efficient@

Do they fit side by side? Can another (booster) seat fit next to them? I need two seats to fit next to each other on two-thirds of the middle row and be able to fit the booster there too or be able to fold up one-third for access to the third row. Sorry to hijack the post!

 

Octoberbabies, I answered you in your other post. B) So your older son is in a booster, can he climb over and buckle himself in in the 3rd row? I know my dd did that when she moved to a booster at 5. Then you could put the MAs outboard in the middle row.

 

No, he can't buckle himself yet. And about half the time I have the 3rd row folded up for the stroller, groceries, etc. I went to Babies R Us today, just to make sure and the Marathons won't fit side by side. They will fit one each by the doors, but with them rear facing my son can't get in his seat. So I am probably gonna go with the Graco Comfort Sport convertible and buy a booster when they get bigger. Oh well, I can't have everything!

 

For those looking for a "skinny" convertible seat, take a look at the Sunshine Kids Radian seat. It goes to 65 lbs (they also have an 80 lb version) and is only 17" wide. I can fit 3 across in the back seat of my car. They have a great safety rating as well! I got mine from Elitecarseats.com and got free shipping and a 10% twin discount. HTH
