Oh boy, I need to make a decision but it can be so overwhelming. I have been to so many websites but I just end up being more confused.
My daughter just turned one, she is 29 inches tall and 24 pounds. She is currently rear facing in a graco safeseat in our Honda Fit 2008 and Honda Element 2004. Technically she is still within the parameters to still fit in the safeseat, but it just seems so snug. I'd like to move up to a convertible seat but I need to make my decision soon.
What convertible seat would you recommend (We'd like to stay rear facing as long as possible)? I have heard good things about the First years True Fit, but its only available online and I would like to try it out before buying.
I was also considering the Cosco Alpha Omega Elite, Evenflo Triumph Advance, Safety First Complete Air, and Britax Boulevard based on searches on Consumerreports and other sites. We were also considering a Cosco Scenara for the grandparents.
What would you recommend? The more I read, the less I seem able to come to a decision and between working full time and taking care of the baby, there just isn't time!
Thanks for the help.

Out of the seats you listed I would choose would be the CA (Complete Air) for the 40lb RF limit or the ETA (Evenflo Triumph Advance) for the ease of adjustment. I have not gotten to play with a CA yet :( but I do :love: the ETA and my son, whom is mainly torso, would have made it to age five harnessed in this seat.

While the BV (Britax Bouelvard) is a VERY nice seat to install and adjust, the shell and top harness slots are shorter than on other seats.

The Cosco Scenera is a great choice for the grandparents car :thumbsup:

I also have a 2008 honda fit. The only negative experience I have had was the alpha omega elite because we had to remove the base, use a noodle, and it was really cramped in the passenger seat. I haven't tried the safety first complete air in my car, so I can't speak to that one yet. The radian does fit in the middle position so that would be another possibility. All of the britax convertibles fit great, as does the true fit. The only disadvantage of britax and the true fit is the 35lb rear facing limit as opposed to a 40lb limit on the complete air and radian.
