Seeking your experience input and helpful suggestions!!! We have first baby coming in 2 months and this car seat research is overwhelming due to so many options to consider for the particular criteria we have:
1) ** reputably safe
2) ** desired legroom in 2014 Mini Countryman: Husband 6'2. Wife 5'6. Take monthly road trips greater than 1-2 hour duration. For passenger comfort & safety - neither of us wants to push passenger seat all the way forward.
3) ** active travel light lifestyle: live in large urban city. Want lightweight & easy to use seat to easily port seat from Mini to taxi to airports. Likely 5-6+ flights/year.
Might not get stroller right away, like idea of walking/hiking with baby carriers) but like options that would fit with small urban stroller.
4)** Long use. Would like to avoid buying more than 2 seats in first 2-3 years, if possible. Possibly long baby arriving (previous test showed 80th percentile)
5)** great style and comfort.
Pros/Cons on any in the following list hitting above criteria preferences:
Chicco KeyFit / NextFit, Maxi Cosi line, Graco Snugride or MySize, Combi Coccoro, Cybex Aton, Britax Boulevard or Roundabout
