Ok, so I'm new to this site, and I've been reading posts for about a week now, and I'm more confused than ever! I thought all car seats were more-or-less the same ... who knew there was so much variation?!?!
My DD is turning 1 next month and she's just about 20lbs. I thought her Graco Snugride went to 30lbs, but checked yesterday and it's actually 22lbs, so I'm kinda under the gun to get something new as soon as possible.
We will need 2 convertible car seats - one for each car b/c my DH drops off at daycare, and I pick up.
I would like to keep her RFing for at least another year.
My DH drives a BMW 325i. I drive a Jeep Liberty right now, but I think that will be replaced soon with a Toyota Highlander.
Britax seem to be a little out of our price range, however, we plan to have more children ... should this impact how much I'm willing to spend for the first one? (in hopes that we'll be able to pass them down) ... because my DH is not understanding why anyone would spend over $200 for a car seat, when "the $75 one must have passed all the safety tests".
Also, Amazon.com may be our primary purchase place, if that influences anything.
Other info needed?
Thanks so much for reading this, and for any help/advice you can offer. I'm very much looking forward to your comments!
