Need to replace infant seat that was in minor car accident. It was a 2014 Britax B Safe so not the current version. I will be reimbursed by insurance at that seat retailed for $169.99 so I am hoping to stay right around that price point and am hopeful to take advantage of good pricing this upcoming black Friday. I need some help.
I am involved with foster care and only foster infants. I don't currently have placement. I need a seat that can fit a preemie well as that is always a possibility. I also need a seat that installs fairly easily in car without base since baby would go various DCF workers to visits with birth family and it's not practical to move base back and forth, etc.
I have read a lot of negative reviews about the new Britax B Safe, mainly it being so deep bigger babies not being very comfortable so I plan to avoid that seat. I've seen some sales on the Chicco and I love this brand so it's on my short list. Graco seats confuse me, there are so many but it seems like the click connect 35 (?) Gets good reviews for preemie fit?
I have a Britax stroller but am not concerned about stroller compatability because my son would be in that, he is 2, and I would wear baby until older and eventually invest in double stroller.
Any recommendations?? I have a 2016 Ford Escape so I am not concerned about fit to vehicle. I am 5'5 and seats seem to work well in my car. Just feel overwhelmed with too many options and I have zero experience with preemies but I know it's a very common scenario with fostering so I want a seat that can work well
