I've read a lot about safety ease of installation, but I would like to know which seats are the most comfortable. My 9 month old (20lbs) is growing out of her chicco keyfit and we need to pick out a convertible car seat by the christmas holiday. She absolutely hates being in the car. She usually screams unless we can get her to fall asleep (she's generally a happy, very active baby and is ok in a stroller). We usually only drive 2-3 hour drives once every month or two - we rarely drive because we live in a city. They have been very difficult. I'm hoping that it will get better if we switch to a seat that she likes better.
Does anyone recommend a seat that is particularly comfortable? I was leaning toward the britax marathon but the graco 4 ever seems more comfortable. The Maxi Cosi Pria looks plush and I like the head rests. I'm not sure if I should pay attention to cushioning, recline options or head rests. More reclined might be better for sleeping but she generally likes to sit upright and be on the move. The keyfit bothered me that the head rest couldn't be used after she was on the tallest slot. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Car- BMW x5 (its a big car but the chicco keyfit makes the passenger seat sit very far forward)
Baby is about 20 lbs and I don't know her height but I think she's in the 75th percentile.
Budget is probably under 300 but not that important.
We will probably travel with the car seat so lighter and easy to install is good.
