My pg anxiety comes in the form of obsessing over car seats... I've been measuring my convertible seats today in trying to decide what's best. I thought I'd share in case anyone is interested. Sorry, no pictures because dh won't give me back my computer and put lynix on the spare, which for some reason he can't figure out, won't work with the camera (or a dozen other programs). The tribute is the older, 3 slotted version with EPS foam. All measurements in inches. The slot measurements are to the bottom of the slots. (I had this nice chart all set up and I guess that doesn't work with message boards. Oh well)

If you were picking from among these 3 (already ahd them, so didn't have to spend any money), which do you think would be best for a newborn?
