Hi everyone, :happy-wavehello:
I have been a member for a long time but haven't posted in quite a while because things have been so busy in my life. I am a CPST but honestly haven't been quite as active in the field in the past few years. My husband and I are expecting our first baby and I'm trying to decide on carseats. I always thought this would be an easy decision for me, but now I can't decide!
One option is to completely forgo the infant bucket and just go straight to the convertible. Probably the Britax Boulevard because they use less flame retardants.
But, lately I've been reconsidering the infant buckets and have narrowed it down to the Britax Endeavours (rebound bar), the Nuna Pipa Lite (load leg), and the Uppa Baby Mesa.
I haven't actually seen any of these at seat checks in recent years! I always see the Chicco's and Graco's.
Any thoughts on features you like or hate? Things I don't like: The Uppababy doesn't have any sort of rebound bar or load leg, the Britax looks super narrow and the fabric seems 'sweaty', and the Nuna Pipa Lite must be installed with the base (which probably isn't a big deal for our lifestyle).
Any loves or dislikes about these seats?
Thanks!!!!:thanx!:
