Overwhelmed
New member
Hi everyone,
I decided to pick my log on name as 'overwhelmed' because that's exactly what carseat shopping is making me feel! Wow, the choices!
We have a 2007 Toyota Corolla and also a 2014 Toyota Tacoma. I'd like to buy ONE convertible carseat that I can change (one/twice a week) from vehicle to vehicle fairly easily.
We have a 9 month old average sized baby in an infant Graco ClickConnect at the moment. The base is a hassle to undo from the Latch connectors because the buckle is very hard to loosen. I would love something easier with my next purchase.
As for rear-facing, I'd like to do this as long as possible - therefore the SIZE (front to back) will make a difference with my small vehicles. It narrows my choices.
So...I'm wondering if anyone can tell me their favourite convertible carseat with these items as features:
I will mention - so far I've looked into the Diono (wow, is that thing heavy and not easy to install!) and a Britax (pricey but may work - overwhelmed with the different versions and not sure on the new connect system?). Perhaps I'm overlooking a cheaper seat that would do the trick?
Thanks everyone, I appreciate any help!

1) Easily installed as we will be back and forth between the vehicles
2) A good rear facing fit for smaller vehicles (front to back)I will mention - so far I've looked into the Diono (wow, is that thing heavy and not easy to install!) and a Britax (pricey but may work - overwhelmed with the different versions and not sure on the new connect system?).
