Hey everyone. I am a LONG time lurker here and I love everything I have learned here. I don't post much because I don't really know how to start.
Anyway, my brother is having a baby in November and I am buying his infant seat (and all that follows that!). Now, my brother is not a very "smart" person and I know he won't even try to do what I tell him. However, I still want to know that I did everything I could to keep my baby nephew safe. I am looking at the Graco Safeseat 1 and the Chicco Keyfit 30. After playing with all the infant seats, these 2 seem to be the easiest to install. And believe me, I need this to be EASY to install and use. I am not sure if my brother has LATCH (2002 GMC EXT cab) and he lives 3 hours away and I probably won't see him for another 2-4 weeks. So I am basing my purchase off of a seatbelt install. Am I missing any EASY to install with seatbelt seats?
Since I am buying this seat, I really need to find SOME kind of deal on it. I like the Keyfit better, but I know I can get the safeseat cheaper! Anyone know of any deals on either seat? Or anyone have a used one for sale? I need something appropriate for a boy.
I have been looking at the Portica pattern on the safeseat. Is this too girly??
http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SafeSeat-Infant-Seat-Portica/dp/B000WIEHH2/ref=combo_pack_i_1
This is the best price I have found on these seats. Any better deals?
Thanks so much for any info!
Melissa
