Sold my radian. Trying to sell the extra cover. I have a couple more things I may need to sell to fund a new seat. But I can't decide! It HAS to be girly and it can't be a radian.

I was originally going to go with the butterfly true fit: http://www.walmart.com/ip/The-First-Years-True-Fit-Convertible-Car-Seat-Butterfly/11983495

But then diapers.com put the pink polka dotty on sale (unfortunately I'm not a first time customer, but I might be able to get family to order it for me): http://www.diapers.com/product/productdetail.aspx?productid=25505

And I love the Flair MyRide: http://www.target.com/Graco-My-Ride-Car-Seat/dp/B002C3Q78C/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton

And then I saw the boquet ETA. Not as sure on this one, but it's a great price with teh 20% off. I had an old triumph and wasn't a fan, but this looks way different: http://www.albeebaby.com/evenflo-triumph-advance-lx-convertible-car-seat-bouquet.html

Dd is small to average for her age. She was 19ish lbs and 28" at a year. Average torso. I would guess she won't max out a seat by weight or weight before 4 rfing and longer ffing.

This will bein the captains chair of an '09 Sienna.

Help me decide. If you have one of these (models, not necessarily covers), what do you love? Any other cute girly seats I'm missing?

What about a CA LX? I have this one and dd2 really likes the pretty flowers. http://www.viviansbabyclothes.com/newnowsa1sco5.html

Or another regular CA http://www.viviansbabyclothes.com/newnowsa1sco3.html

My vote is totally for the pink polka dotty TFP!! I am tempted to put my boys in one... but DH would not be amused by that!

I hated the old Triumph's too. I've played with my sister's EFTA, and it's better, but I still don't love it. The infinite harness is nice, the red tabs are a little irratating to dd2's neck, and I still hate those knobs! But overall, I didn't hate it as much as the old ones, if that helps any!

I love the cover on the pink polka dotty, and then you'd have the rebound control too. :thumbsup:

I need to keep this under $200, closer to $150 is better. So the girly CA is out, but I'd get it if it wasn't. I do LOVE that seat.

I changed the link to the pink & brown one because I found it cheaper than walmart. It's $149.95 and shipping is around $10.

I did have a pink polka dotty brown tfp for a very short time. Very pretty, unfortunately it didn't work for us.

I actually didn't see the sale price on the ella CA. $162 is not bad...very tempting, I do love that seat!

I vote Flair. I want one so bad but the MyRide just doesn't work in my vehicle...

Are there any dots on the Dotty TFP under the infant pad? Looks like solid pink to me! I am in LOVE with the Flair MyRide...although I'd probably get the CA for the extra height. I ADORE mine. Even though I bought it right when it came out for $250...*rips hair out*

No, sadly it's just pink. And I think dd would be too big for the padding (or wouldn't use it much longer). I do like that it's ARB. But I love my CA too (paid around $200 for mine back in the day during the BRU trade in event - and the LX model here is cheaper!)

Flair MR. I that pattern. The covers I like best are that or the Butterfly TF, but the TF and I were not friends, whereas I LOVE my MR. Even if you don't use it FFing, you'll get 3 years out of it RFing and then it sounds like you'll have plenty of other seats to move her into.
