Is there a link you like to use to give to people regarding what to look for in a convertible seat?

Like what? All I can think is 'thick straps so they don't twist and drive me crazy', lol. I thought there was a carseatblog list of seats, but I couldn't find it the other day when I was trying to recommend seats, so I don't know if there is or isn't.

My personal preference is
high top slots for tall kids
low bottom slots for newborns
40 lb RF limit
at least a 50 lb harness limit FF
no rethread harness is awesome but not a big deal if there isn't one
Easy to install, easy to read manual etc.

I like the True fit, aside from the 35 lb RF weight limit, and the Complete Air 65.
I have also heard great things about the MyRide 65 although I have never had one. DS would still fit RF in one at 4 years old though.
