MyRide. The harness fits better than even their infant seats, and with the infant insert, they just look so snug!

The Snugride 35. I had the older version, the SafeSeat 1. I loved the built-in seatbelt lockoff on the base. :love: It was such a breeze to install; I used the seatbelt even when I was installing it in a spot that was equipped with LATCH. I like loading a newborn into the infant seat indoors, then heading outside, especially when it's too hot, too cold, pouring buckets, etc. So between the ease of install of the base and the fact that it is a nice, larger (will last the majority of kids at least 12-18 months), easy-to-use infant seat, it's my favorite. :)

We had a companion this time around and I loved it for my newbie. The huge head support kept dd's head so nice and straight- there was no possible way for head slump.

The CCO was nice as well and I liked the SS1 I had with ds2 as well.

I love Keyfits. But just for their cover choices. My kiddos had....um.... Well Leah had a white century 3pt with the "hey diddle diddle/over the moon" cover 11 years ago, Molly had a graco (snugride?) in the navy and yellow plaid (Princeton?) and Sydney had a snugride 22 in Windsor- the sage green and toile print. Yeah, I'm a sucker for covers (and front adjust once I knew better).

I loved my CCO for DS2. I would have been worth it just for the newborn stage, but he's 2 and still has tons of room. I love having short kids! He'll prbably outgrow it Rfing by weight.

I have absolutely adored our OnBoard Air 35 :) I had a SS1 previously for the godkids and loved it and I would accept either in a heartbeat. The lock offs on the base are a winner! I'm interested to try the new Learning Curve infant seat though too.

I love the chaperone, SS1 not sure what others

I actually played with the aton today at BRU, I think its okay, i wasn't super impressed with the sunshade and felt that the fabric could have been a little less scratchy for a $200 seat. it did seem pretty light though, base was heavy though but that doesn't matter really.

Yea i don't know if all of them do but I had time to kill before my DHs flight got in, I wish I had taken pictures now but DS was sleeping! I will say the canopy was a pain, it was in 2 pieces when i first saw it but managed to fix it.

I really like the keyfit. Have used my friend's multiple times when we do respite for her foster babies. That said, for Maddie, I am in :love: with the radian and CCO for her. She was very snug in both with the infant inserts and even now, with her petite little frame, is very cozy in both.
