Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of the carseats that have alligator-style clips?

I'm looking to get the least expensive seat I can with these

Thanks
Jess

The only ones I know of are the Britax seats and Sunshine Kids seats.

And a Triumph Advance and several infant seats, and I think the True Fit. And Orbit. And Recaros...gosh, there are a lot, lol. What age and weight child are you shopping for, I bet we can pinpoint the exact seat that'll work for your kiddo and your budget :thumbsup:

Hmmmm, the least expensive would probably be the ETA. I think only the most expensive one has them though.

I have the EFTA with the alligator clips and I love it. I have the Hampton Park version available at BRU. My DD is 23 months and 23 lbs and she fits great in it. She has a ton of room to spare. I got it with the 15% or 20% off one item and I paid around $160.

She loves her "lazy boy" chair as her grandma calls it. It is very easy to install and I can move it in under 2 minutes. The black is great because it always looks great.

The Evenflo Symphony does to some degree, though it only has a 40 lb limit.

Just to add to the list, even though you probably don't want an infant seat-the Compass/learning curve i420 infant seat. I installed one yesterday that had them. Not sure of hte other infant seats.

My brother drives one and they have an EFTA in there. It fits in great in all 3 positions.

If we're adding infant seats to the list, the BabyTrend LatchLoc and FlexLoc have alligator-style also.

I love those clips! Not all EFTAs have them, mine doesn't, but we don't have LATCH anyway so it doesn't matter.

I also love the LATCH bars on the Britax Marathon and Boulevard. It really makes LATCH installations nearly fool proof. I wish that the Roundabout had them, although I guess they do make the seat heavier.

If you like the seat otherwise, maybe we can help you figure out the angle problem? Then you could get another one (they ARE one of the cheaper seats with alligator clips, I think).

I will play around with it this weekend (provided it does not snow again) and take some pictures to post and see if you all can help me.

Thanks
