I just want to buyt he safest comfiest seat for my LO.

He is 6 months, 26.5 inches, 19lbs. I know the safest thing to to is to have him RF as long as possible. the models I'm looking at are;

Triumph True Fit
Sunshine Jr. Radian
Britax Boulevard
Eddie Bauer 3 in 1

I need someone to point me in the right direction... at least narrow my selection to two. And tell me the best place to go where I can see and touch all models.

I have a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and I live in the Toronto East GTA.

thx :)

Skip the 3 in 1 seats. They have low top harness slots and are frequently outgrown by children around 2.5 years old due to height. They only have a 40lbs harness limit, so they get outgrown early due to weight as well. They also do not make a good booster seat... the lap portion tends to ride too high on children and the seat back is not tall enough to get children to seatbelt age.

The TruFit has the highest rear facing weight limit at 35lbs (the others are all 30lbs). Since your little guy is already 19lbs at 6 months, I'd probably lean heavily towards that one for the extra rear facing lbs.

All four of the seats I listed should fit nicely in your Santa Fe. Toys R Us will let you try them out in your vehicle before you buy them (a store employee will escort you out to your vehicle to try it). I'd highly recommend reading their instruction manual online before you go to try it in your vehicle... much easier to install. All of the instruction manuals can be found at the manufacture websites in pdf format.
