There are so many choices and I have time but can't help but look. The seats I am considering are:
Graco Click Connect 35
Safety 1st Onboard Air
Combi Shuttle
Chicco Keyfit 30
I had a SR22 (ds3) and Baby Trend Latch-Loc (ds2.) I didn't love either of them. I have also played with the Aton some and didn't love it but it wasn't bad either. My sister still has the Aton but I think I want something else. Buying car seats is my favorite thing, after all .
I am due in early Sept but expect a mid-late August baby. No idea on the size. Ds2 was almost 7 pounds at 35 weeks exactly, and stayed around 40-50th percentile for weight and 80-95 percentile for height, so a big baby. Ds3 was 7 lb, 7 oz at 38 weeks 5 days and was always in the 5-20th percentile for height and weight.
So out of those 4 what are the pros and cons? Anything else I should be considering? I would like to stay under $200, cheaper is always better but I don't mind spending for nice features.
The seat will be going in a 2003 Caravan and will most likely need to be in a 3 across at times (probably in 2nd row, as I have an extra 3rd row seat I will have to use there) and then in a 2013 Yukon XL, where space is not an issue but it would be great if it could go middle of 2nd row or driver's side second row, along with a booster (most likely Performance Booster but then) for ds3 and still be able to flip down the seat on passenger side to access the third row.
