I've read through all the threads, but I can't find one that matches what I am looking for.
I have an infant who is ready to move into the next stage of car seats soon. Most likely in less than 30 days.
I drive a 2005 F250 Crew Cab. Please note these vehicles are not equipped with the Latch System, so I need something that someone know that will specifically work in this vehicle.
I want a convertible car seat that meets or exceeds the following, and after hours and hours online and hours of going into stores, I just haven't been able to find something I am happy with, that has a great safety rating. I've tried going to the fire stations and asking for recommendations, apparently they aren't allowed to deal with car seats in my area. I've tried the authorized state locations which require appointments, and they were not able to provide any insight either.
1. Convertible, rear facing, front facing, and booster. I want to be able to use this for the remaining time my child needs a car seat/booster. My state requires 8 years old or4"9" tall. He is on target to be 5'10'' according to his pediatrician, and is in the 75% percentile in weight, so a 60lb max weight limit just won't do.
2. Needs to work from 20lbs-90ishlbs.
3. Washable fabric which you do not have to uninstall the car seat to take off to wash.
4. Cupholders: At least one, I prefer 2, but can live with just 1. Removable cup holders that can be thrown in the dishwasher would be great, but not a must have by any means.
5. Decent padding. Needs to hold up well to daily use for the lifetime of the car seat.
6. Durable, needs to be able to withstand heat, as it gets hot here down south, and I don't want to be uninstalling a car seat every day to take it in the house for fear of the buckles melting.
