Favorite convertible?

I'm just curious, since I no longer have to worry about the perfect 3 across, what your favorite convertible is these days. :)

I now drive an '09 Honda Ody and baby girl is almost 7 months, 27" tall, and 17 lbs, so fairly average in size, I think. She seems to be pretty proportionate, but fits 6-9 months size clothes, some of which are too short. ;)

I would like to keep her rear facing past age 3 (big brother one rear faced to 3.5, BB2 rear faced to 2.5, b/c he was much taller and longer in the torso).

Easy buckles count for a lot with me. I have arthritis in my hands, so I love our Cocorro buckle.

I love the Nextfit. I just got it for my youngest and it is great, super easy to install, super easy to adjust and very padded for him.

I love my Foonf and so do my daughters. I recently installed it FF for dd1 who hates the RXT since I moved her to the top slots. She's 5.5 yo and says it's comfy and she can easily buckle herself.

I really loved the Peg, but the Fuscia was unavailable when I needed to buy so I chose the Foonf. I was really undecided!

I love so many seats for different reasons and ages. I will say my 2 yr old DD greatly prefers her my ride. She LOVE that seat!
I keep trying new fancier seats, and she keeps being for her "big" seat.
The MR needs some replacement parts, so I'm switching her to a roundabout 50 this week. I'm hoping she tolerates it. I picked it because I get board easily, and I can switch up covers to help with that.
My DD Is tiny so anything goes. For a bigger child's I would go diono. I loved mine.

It's been a while since I've needed a convertible but when the kids were babies I did love the Britax Boulevard and Marathon I had. The kids weren't super tall or heavy so they worked well for us. I love how easy they are to install and how comfy they are. I recently was able to play with a Nextfit and was super impressed at how easy it was to install, how comfy it seemed, and the numerous recline positions. If I had a kid who needed a convertible now, I would definitely recommend it.

We love our Peg Convertible, super comfortable and my son who was in the 87th percentile for height and weight easily RF in there till he was about 3.5 years old. Now my youngest daughter uses it. It is super easy to install and uninstall. The buckle and harness is easy to adjust and use...

I've only used the Peg and the Size For Me lately. I like the Peg a lot better. I feel like I have to heft Griffin in over the side of the Size for Me, it's so high, then dig him out, it's so deep. Maybe if he helped at all it would be easier. At least he doesn't fight it.

The Chicco and the Foonf are two that originally had my attention...the Foonf is more than I'll spend, though. You all reminded me of the Peg...I think that's on my short list now. :) I realized in looking that I do prefer the option of rear facing tether OR anti rebound bar. Lots of nice new seats out there now!
