Convertible car seat?
Which one do you have? Do you like it? We have the Britax Marathon but we haven't opened it yet and it was a recall one. So we're going to return it and get a new one but I don't know if we should get the same one. The new reports said the Roundabout is better and that the Evenflo Triumph is better.
Please share what you have or had and what your feelings are on it. Thanks!!

Re: Convertible car seat?
We have both the Britax Wizard and the Britax Marathon. They are pretty much the same car seat, but the wizard has the additional head restraints. I guess it is safer, but it definitely doesn't look as comfortable as the Marathon, which I love. I have also heard great things about the Roundabout.

Re: Convertible car seat?
check out Consumer Reports before you buy... they retested the serats and the Triumph is top rated now and the Marathon is down on the list (for infant use anyway)

Re: Convertible car seat?
We also have the Evenflo Triumph. I love it! No complaints. I didn't see spending twice as much either on a car seat.

Re: Convertible car seat?
I'm starting to research Convertible seats as well, so I'm bumping this thread back up to get updates/more opinions. My daughter is 15 pounds at nine weeks, and my Snugride is only good until 20 pounds. I'm guessing I've got about six weeks to decide. 
From Consumer Reports it seems like Evenflo Titan, Britax Roundabout or Evenflo Triumph 5
are the way to go this year.
I have a Honda Accord if that matters for advising purposes...
