Convertible Car Seats: My Top 5
Your baby’s safety is no joke – especially when it comes to riding in the car. I’ve already talked about how to keep your baby safe during the winter in their car seat and mentioned which car seat I registered for when I was pregnant. But now that Annabelle has reached the height limits of her car seat, it’s time to make the switch to a convertible car seat. I want to share the information I’ve found during the hours I’ve spent researching which car seat will be the safest!
Annabelle’s first car seat was the Britax B-Safe. We LOVED that car seat for a million reasons, so I was already partial to Britax as a brand. After reading tons of reviews, I came to the conclusion that the Britax Marathon is a longtime favorite among parents. However, the Britax Marathon ClickTight has an easy installation system AND SafeCell Complete Side Impact Protection.
The Britax Boulevard ClickTight is very similar to the Marathon because it is easy to install and has the same SafeCell Complete Side Impact Protection design. The biggest difference is that the seated shoulder height max for rear facing is 18.65 inches, which is 2 more inches than the Marathon. Annabelle is a tall baby, so I am leaning towards this car seat for my car.
Graco 4Ever All-in-1 Carseat – $299.99
Graco 4Ever
The Graco 4Ever All-in-1 is a convertible car seat that grows with your child. The description says it gives you 10 years – meaning you can use it from the time your baby is born to when he/she is sitting in a booster seat at a max of 120lbs. It looks pretty cozy, comes in PINK, and it has cupholders.
Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat – $329.99
Chico NextFit Zip
The Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat was recommended by some of my Mommy friends. They love it because of its easy to wash seat pad. After reviewing the highlights of the Britax Marathon and the Chicco NextFit, I was surprised to discover there aren’t many differences between the two. Not even the price! Safety ratings put them side-by-side, so really, it’s your personal preference.
Recaro ProRide Convertible Car Seat – $259.99
Recaro ProRide
Another recommendation from my Mommy friends is the Recaro ProRide Convertible Car Seat. It has great safety ratings and their toddlers think it is comfortable. The only complaint is the car seat’s size – it will not fit easily in a small car and it is difficult to install.
