Thanks for the replies. I don't know what seats I'm looking at, really. Shopping is at least a year away, and seats come and go so quickly, so I'm not going to mess with my head by setting my heart on things now.
I want to make sure I can get whatever I want. I think I'm still smarting from my last car seat shopping go-round when I couldn't afford a Safeguard car seat (the $399 one).
And I still drool over the Swedish seats. I know the US is getting up to speed on erf weight limits, but I drive a Mazda5 so space is tight, and I'm tired of eating the dash in the front seat so my preschoolers can rf behind me.
DH has even joked about getting an Orbit Baby!
