Hello,
I'm looking to transition my son soon and hoped for some input on what convertible car seat will fit well in my smallish car.
My child is probably about 18 pounds, not sure how tall these days but has been around the fifteenth percentiles all along. I'm not in too much of a hurry to move out of his Graco Snugride 35 but think he might be more comfortable in a convertible. It's getting harder to carry him in the infant carrier anyway.
I've liked the snugride so well that I'm naturally interested in the Graco Myride 65 but have had recommendations to go with the Britax Marathon 70 as well. How do these higher limit seats do in small cars? I'd like to keep him rearfacing in the center as long as possible. We have not had problems with the snugride fitting in the middle position and my husband and I still fitting comfortably in the front seats. Are there other seats that we should also be considering? I don't mind spending money to get the best seat for our circumstances. Also note that the snugride is installed with the seatbelt - not the latch system (due to center installation).
Thank you so much for your insights!
