    I like the Evenflo Triumph Advance. It was easy for my DH to install once we were done the carriers and our kids are still rear facing and it's easy to get them in and out. We got ours on sale at BRU, but I think they run around $200.00

    We have the Evenflo Triumph also and love it. We got ours from BRU when the kids were born and I think they were around $125. It has been a few years, so the prices may have gone up.

    We just switched to the Britax Marathon's (still rear-facing) and I love them so far. They do take up quite a bit of space, but I like everything else about them. I think they can run as high as $279, but you can get some designs on albeebaby.com for $179. I bought both of mine off craigslist for $100. GL!

    We have the Sunshine Kids Radian 80s in my car (which is the primary car) ... they are great, run about $250 a seat.

    For DH's car we have 2 of the Evenflo Triumphs ... we got them at BRU for about $140 each ... don't forget that most places will give a 10% twin discount for buying two! Both BRU and the Sunshine Kids site did that ...

    We will be getting the Britax Marathon's from BRU. We plan on keeping the girls RF until at least 2 years old and this seat allows for RF until 35lbs as well as ease of use.

    I had a graco comfortsport for my first dd, which I loved, the only downfall is she is a VERY big girl (not fat, she's at 95% for weight and height), and at about a year and a half old she was about to outgrow the top strap hole on it. I found the britax marathon was the only carseat that would fit in our vehicle at the time, that had a higher strap hole for the top strap. When we got it she was in the second from the top hole with another 3 inches before hitting the top.

    So since we now have 2 babies I am using that marathon for one and will be getting a second marathon from a good friend in about 2 months. Both these babies are turning out very long as well so I'm sure the extra growth room will be beneficial to me! :D

    I have both the Evenflo Triumphs and Titans...love both but the Triumph wins hands down. I love that you don't have to adjust straps all the time and they don't get all tangled up.

    I just got baby girl a Triumph and it was $125 then I had a 15% off coupon (BRU does do a 10% discount for twins which I utilized when I bought the boys' seats a while back).

    I was debating between the Evenflo Triumph Advance and the First Years True Fit and I ended up with the True Fit. I don't think you can go wrong either way. I wanted something that would last until they were booster age. The True Fit has really high top straps and goes up to 65 lbs. They both rear face up to 35 lbs. I got mine on Amazon for $150. I got $30 off for signing up for an Amazon credit card. I think the ETA was going to cost around $130 at Babies R' Us with a coupon for the pattern I wanted. Good luck with your decision. I would go to Babies R' Us and try them out and see which you like. They might let you try them in your car too.

    We have the alpha omega elite car seat: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3091043
    We haven't attached it to the car yet so we don't know anything more than the reviews. It looks comfortable and is soft, and our girls fit well in it. In terms of a good deal, we got a GREAT deal from BRU. They're regularly $170 each but in the store there was a $50 rebate per carseat because they had overstocked them accidentaly (this was just in that one store that we went to that day and it wasn't listed on the website or anywhere else and we only saw it when we picked the car seat in the store.) We also used the 10% off for twin discount and 15% off coupon and we got each seat for $85. It was amazing!
