Hello! I'm looking for a carseat for my daughter. She's growing out of her infant carseat and will soon need a convertible one. Now my older daughter uses an Alpha Omega and i HATE it! The straps drive me crazy! Are there any concerns i should have about her carseat? Hers was made after the recall btw. Also, is there some site that can tell me what carseats fits better in certain cars/models? We have a corrolla so it's tight with 2 carseats. Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome!

Those AO straps can be pretty annoying. There aren't really any safety concerns regarding the AO, other than just make sure you keep those straps flat and snug. Some parents have found that it doesn't last their child to 40 lbs. with the harness (the child gets too tall) and others have also found that their child has outgrown the seat by height when used as a belt positioning booster.

There's a link at the top of the page called Compatibility that will take you to the interactive compatibility database. You can look up your Corolla there and see which seats may fit. Here's a list of parent-recommended seats: http://www.carseatsite.com/recommended_car_seats.htm.

Please let us know if you have any more questions!
