at a few months old I'd say
SS1
keyfit (22 lb, unless you have chunker babies)
that's it. I don't think any others would last long enough to be worth it at this point.
snugride (if 5 pt, 22 lb, eps, front adjust) is probably my #3 and kefit might be #1 for a newborn.

No, my friend's brother is expecting his first, and my friend wants to know which seats to consider. I'm very happy with the Roundabout for Kira.

That's what I thought, so your question threw me a bit.
for a first child-
keyfit 30. it fits tiny babies well and will last even the fattest of babies to around 1 year (and has a better stroller for the travel system, if that's what they're going for).
ss1 is a close second, if they are willing to put up with a potenially less than perfect fit the first few weeks. It will last even longer.
everything else is about equal, as long as it is 5 pt, front adjust, and goes to at least 22 lbs. handle up in the car and EPS are big benefits. as is being able to use it without the base, because you never know when you might need to. all of which the snugride has, which is why it would probably come in at #3.

I guess third would be the SS1, buts its too big for my car (too long) and its heavy empty so I cant imagine using it as a carrier. I like the snugride equally well and might even like it better if it had a lock off.

I love the Ma, cept the short crotch strap and high base.

1. Graco Logico S is my #1 favourite. It's virtually the same as the Graco Safeseat I think, except the base has a foot, which I believe the Safeseat does not.. at least it didn't when I had a go at one overseas.
2. Second to that would PROBABLY be the Recaro Young Profi Plus. Haven't had the pleasure to install one yet but have had a play with them and MAN I must say they are very "suave"!!!!
3. Gee this is tougher then I thought. Though I quite like the Britax Rock-a-tot.
ETA: Hah I just realised my answer won't help you anyway LOL, ah well I answered any way

Any seat that you can leave the handle up is a good seat in my book (says she, who used to try to follow the rules, but that shattertastic century handle was up most of the time over poor Bitsy...)

2.Never used it, but I'm going to say the SS1, because if there were no KF, it would top my list.
3. Latch-Loc 22. I had one waiting for ds3, but ended up giving it away, which was good, since a teeny, tiny baby was much, much safer (11yo Century infant seat that was recalled
), but I do that rigid latch base and the dial/infinite-adjust harness.You must read your carseat and vehicle owner’s manual and understand any relevant state laws.
