I'm in charge of the group gift, and while I used to read this forum all the time as a CPS advocate, my youngest is now 13 and I no longer provide daycare, so my only use of carseats is as a foster mom, and that's not frequent. Their original pick was Eddie Bauer travel system, but Eddie Bauer used to have installation issues. Maybe that's changed. I assume they'll have at least 2 kids, and they want an infant seat and stroller. As a foster mom of newborns, I loved my travel systems (Graco and Evenflo). I read the complaints. My evenflo is 15 years old and I still use it without any problems (the stroller, not carseat). Just gave away my Graco stroller, and never had problems using it as a system either. So I'm seeking current advice. I'm thinking Chicco or Britax, but Graco would be fine too.
