I hope to get some advice! DD is 7 months, 20 pounds and 28 inches. She is currently in a Chicco bucket (the old one good to 22 pounds). Our current RF goal is two years (that's all I could talk DH in to for now, he thinks I'm some crazy car seat wackadoo. Hopefully until 3 once he sees it's not inconvenient)
We are looking to find a convertible in the near future. I have it narrowed down to the new Dionos (not sure which "trim level") or the Peg convertible.
What I like about the Diono
- can rear face to 50 pounds
- steel frame
- low profile (easier to put a kid in RF?)
What I don't like
- it's so tall and we need the angle adjuster to make it fit
- I'm worried about shoulder checking / visibility (it will be behind the passenger)
What I like about the Peg
- it looks way comfier (DD screamed in the Diono and was happy as a clam in the Peg)
- not so tall to start (gets taller with the headrest)
What I don't like
- not steel frame
- only rear faces to 40 pounds.
My parents have a Titan 65 for occasional use and I hate it. It feels so flimsy, the straps are constantly twisting, it's not pretty (I'm kidding.....kind of). I picked it out (because of it's high RF limits) and it's fine for the few times a year we need it.
So what seat to choose? We will be purchasing 2 of them (we use our cars 50/50) and at least one of them needs to come from the store West Coast Kids (we have a gift card that will cover one seat)
Thanks!!
