I really, really love our 4Ever! Way more than the "high end" seats. I love it so much I bought a second and really want to buy a 3rd! DH loves it too, which is saying a lot for the man who hates all car seats. ;)

I think I've about settled on britax seat, but I think they need to supply more money-she priced the seats based on an online sale price at target.com and when I went into the store it was almost $20 more. I don't want to have to wait for Target to ship, we've been without the seats for 3 weeks! The one we have left got moved 3 times this weekend and my sore wrists didn't appreciate that.

If there's enough left over I'm thinking of getting a Graco seat as a spare. I don't know that we need a 4ever or Milestone because it probably won't get used in booster mode anyway. But one of the others.

I got a Blvd CT today and so far it's going back. :( I had a Marathon G4.1 before and liked it well enough, hate how high it is but no biggie. The Blvd CT was a pain to get set up correctly, though might not have been if I hadn't also been focusing on my husband and two littles at the same time. My biggest complaint? The harness is SHORT. Super short. Much shorter than the Marathon one. And yes, I already adjusted it from little baby mode into older kid mode. My 2 year old is 30lbs or a bit under, 37" tall, I don't see how this seat will possibly get him anywhere near 65lbs. And the button to loosen the harness is SO buried. I'm sure they were trying to prevent kids from loosening. Well, good job, I can't loosen it either, lol. My fingers aren't hardly long enough and it hurts my wrists to bend that way. So I'm almost positive it's getting returned which stinks. So it's either buy another Marathon like I had before or I may replace it with one of the Graco seats. DS really likes having a cupholder, lol. I like the NextFit, too, but alas, no cupholder and really no reason in my mind to spend that much if it doesn't have some sort of anti-rebounc protection, a cupholder, or some other outstanding feature. I'll consider a clek if I see some great deal. But I, was trying to purchase a full time seat plus a spare with the insurance money.

I kind of hate the boulevard. The installation, clicktight part? That's fabulous. Everything else, not so much. They've lost that butter smooth harness adjuster. And I HATE the new HUGS, too. And they should build the cupholder into the seat so it's not sticking so far out the side of an already really wide seat. THere. I think rant over. I'm getting a graco seat on Amazon.

The Nextfit comes with a removeable cupholder, unless they've changed things in the last couple years. Mine from 2013 included a cupholder.

I'm having such issues. Returned the click tight, and had a huge issue doing so, they didn't want to let me return it. Got instead the extend2fit and a size4me. I really want to like the extend2fit. But it's SO hard to loosen and tighten the harness. My wrists are still sore from the accident and I can't hardly do it. The size4me was to be a spare but it's SO reclined it takes up too much space to fit in the main vehicle I needed it to. Ugh. Before this I'd never returned a seat, now I have two more I wish I could but after the stink the store made I can't. I'd have to sell them and hope to make money back. I want to try a fllo but I can't find anywhere locally that carries it.

LAF: I take it you got the seats from a big store like Target? I would simply return to a different store if it is within the return period still. For what's it's worth I really like my Milestone and find it easy to tighten, and it's compact.

As for the fllo you can order it from bed bath beyond online and take it back to the store or Amazon with free returns.

I got the click tight at buy buy baby, they made a big stink when I returned it saying they normally don't allow you to return a seat. They only gave store credit so I bought the two graco seats there because they no longer carry clek.
