It's still subjective, but I like their pictures showing their criteria.
all 5 Harmony Juvenile, and Bubblebum got best bets.
this is interesting:
I like to think we had a little something to do with at least the first one. We've been pretty vocal about the Monterey fitting a bit wide. Or maybe they were aiming for the IIHS rating and not appeasing us.
any guess as to why the SGL is best bet, but SG is only good bet? Like I said, subjective.

Small change, big difference: Diono, which recently changed its name from Sunshine Kids, bumped an existing seat, the Monterey, from check fit to BEST BET by changing the shoulder belt guide. The new ranking applies when the dual-use seat is used in highback mode. The booster remains a "check fit" in backless mode. Consumers should look for Montereys manufactured after July 2011 to ensure they are getting the newer version.
Meanwhile, the Evenflo Symphony 65, which has been a GOOD BET since 2009, now has a sister seat, the Symphony 65 e3. It has a slightly different shoulder belt guide, and that makes enough of a difference to make it a BEST BET.
