Infant Bucket seat?

Rear-facing convertible?

Combination?

Booster?

Think ideal best practice and name a couple of each . . . i feel out of the loop recently with all the new improved seats out there. Differing price ranges would be great too.

That list was compiled similarly.
For me,
Infant - I liked our Keyfit 30 but I'm a bit out of the loop on infant seats too.
Convertible - I love our TFP and Britax convertibles. My girls are small enough that these seats work great for them.
Combo - Frontier 85. I'm sure I'd add the new seats too but haven't tried them.
Boosters - I'm not in love with any of our hbb seats right now (Parkway SG/SGL, Vivo, and previously Turbo) My DD has an Olli she loves and I like. I'd love to try an Oobr but that just isn't happening.

Based on what I've used....

Infant Bucket seat - Chicco 30

Rear-facing convertible - Britax Boulevard

Combination - Britax Frontier

Booster - Kiddy Cruiserfix and Britax Parkway

Do we see a theme here? I've tried bunches and bunches of seats and always wind up back at Britax.

Fave infant seat will always be the Aton

No more babies for us though!

Rear facing convertible...Diono. DD2 is riding in an RXT right now. I think the Radian will always be my fave for rear facing.

Combo seat is currently the Frontier 90. I do not like how the head rest rattles when I'm driving around without the kids, but the install is awesome!!

Booster- Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro. DD1 loves the adjustable leg support

Convertible-nextfit, britax roundabout classic, sureride, mysize and clones

I was just thinking about what seats the more experienced folks would recommend these days. Dd was just asking about a convertible for a friend.

Carry on!

What is everyone's favorite seats right now for the following groups:

Infant Bucket seat? Higher end: Cybex Aton 2 and Chicco Keyfit 30 Lower end: Evenflo Embrace 35

Rear-facing convertible? Higher end: Chicco Nextfit Lower End: *Britax Roundabout 50 and Evenflo Sureride

Combination? Higher End: Britax Frontier (85/90 ect) and Recaro Prosport Lower end: Evenflo Securekid

Booster? I keep trying other seats and I always end up back at the Monterey (but I have an SK with the good belt guides, and a new Diono with grey belt guides that work for us) I do really want to try the Cruiserfix Pro... For the mid to lower end: Graco Turbobooster and Graco Turbobooster Safety Surround.

*The Britax Roundabout 50 is my favorite seat ever!

SavsMom · Jun 10, 2013

Infant Seat: Chicco KeyFit30 or Gracos SnugRide35

Convertible: Evenflo SureRide (budget) or Radian RXT (high end)

Combo: Evenflo SecureKid (budget) or Britax Frontier (high end)

Booster: Recaro ProBooster .... looking at others too as this is an area we are just moving into.

rosey2007 · Jun 10, 2013

momtoo3 · Jun 10, 2013

Infant: Keyfit 30, SR35, Aton

Convertible: MA70, TFP, Triumph, Symphony

Combination: FR85 (haven't tried the FR90,) ProSport, GN/Argos

Booster: CruiserFix Pro, Vivo, Monterey

alake · Jun 11, 2013

Infant carrier: We are using a Chaperone and a Aton 2 right now. I am enjoying both equally.
Convertible: Foonf, and RXT. I will never need the weight limit on the Foonf, but it was a gift from DH for Logan. Summer would be two inches to tall, but still under the weight limit at nearly 7 and a half.
Combination: Frontier 85.
Booster: We only use them when we travel. When Summer wants to be boostered full time, I will invest in something a little fancier (maybe). Summer and Leah both have Graco HBB that they use in other peoples cars and traveling if needed.

Keeks64 · Jun 11, 2013

My current favs & what I use currently :

Rear Facing - Snugride35

Infant/child- Marathon - MyRide but only for RF

Child/booster - Frontier

Booster - I don't have booster ready kids but love my lite riders for booster kids in my car & the safety surround turbo is one I'm planning to pick up

tam_shops · Jun 13, 2013

Infant any of the Graco Buckets

Infant/Child Diono Radian

Child/Booster Britax Frontier (that'll probably change when I finally get to see the replacement ones!)

I like the Britax Advocate best.

Also all the Recaro seats.

lanwenyi · Jun 13, 2013

Infant-None- I HATE buckets

Convertibles - everyday use - TFP
Convertibles- lightweight/travel - avenue

Combination - no opinion - I have only used a maestro. I liked it fine, but not enough to label it a fave. I would buy it if i needed a lightweight or travel seat though. I would prob get something else for everyday.

Booster- Vivo (perfect booster for my kids, but I might rec others based on other kids' body types).

on my phone, please forgive my autocorrect
