We were just in a rear end crash. Only my baby was in the van at the time. Do all the car seats and boosters need replacing or only the baby's? If they all need replacing I need documented info about this to bring to the insurance company to make them pay. They are only willing to replace hers.

She was in a Britax Companion but has pretty much outgrown it. I'm leaning towards a Marathon but also wanted to know what else is on the market that is worth considering. Any opinions on what to move her into next? I want something that is easy to get a rock solid installation and that will let me keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Are the new Recaros good? What about a Radian? I have a Nissan Quest that these will be installed in.

I agree with the Marathon/Boulevard. And if you can get a new Manufacture date it will have a Rfing limit of 35# instead of the old 33#.
