First off we are in Canada.
My cousin asked me to go carseat shopping with her today for a new seat for her son. He is currently in a graco infant seat that is due to expire in December (she borrowed it from her sister that she had since new and used for her two kids, acceptable given we know the history).
He is 4 months old, weighs 14lbs, is 25" tall with a 13" torso. Mom is nearly 6' tall and somewhere between 180-200lbs yet dad is shorter at 5'5' and fairly lean so who knows where he will fall in the genetics map down the road.
He is their only child and they drive a Mazda 3.
I have on my list of seats to check out:
-TrueFit ~ is the premier worth the extra?
-Marathon ~ anyone have any experience with the new ones how different are they.
-My Ride ~any reviews on this seat?
-Complete Air ~ it shows 2 versions regular and LX, what is the difference?
-Radian XTLS ~ I am concerned about install ~ anyone installed this beast in a Mazda 3?
Can you please rate these seats in order of which you like best and tell me why.
I know of course it goes with out saying that they are all good and they best choice is the one that fits the child best, installs well, and can be used correctly 100% of the time.
Thanks!
