Ok mommies and mommies to be, what brand of car seat is everyone going with, I don't really care so…

following.... I'm so lost on this ! haha

the Graco 4 ever! I'm in love with it

Graco Snugride35 i would of bought the 4 ever one i found out about it too late lol

but if the 4ever is out of your budget the milestone is like, 1 step down from it. and the contender is really good, and they are all really compact and fit pretty well in a small car if that's an issue.

I'm getting evenflo embrace sure safe installation. they aren't too pricey and I just love all of the features.

Graco is what we went with, I think

I have a Graco and Safety 1st and love em both

Chicco Keyfit 30 is awesome! Super lightweight and compact and easy to click in and out of the car. We got the Chicco Bravo travel system. We love it!

my only worry worth the greco 4 ever is not being able to take baby out in it like an infant carrier, how are you doing the store or things like that without a car seat you take out

just so you know, most safety 1st are really bulky and most mom generally won't recommend them. some mom's love them but the safety 1st all in ones, in comparison to the rest, are generally disliked.

and personally I'm completely skipping the rear-facing only carseat (the infant carrier with bases) because I want to save money and only buy one seat. so when it comes to going into stores and stuff like that, I still have a stroller, but ultimately I'm going to be baby wearing, so baby will be against my chest the whole time, I won't have a big bulky carrier and my hands will be free to do what I want and chase my toddler around.

graco grow with me

i used saftey first with my first daughter and I didn't like it. the part that locks your seat into the base sticks out of the side and stabs you in the leg when carrying and it wasn't very cushioned. and the canopy part you had to either use both hands or pull on each side individually. most canopies you can just pull it gently. not the one I had. it was also a little hard to push the buttons and move the part you use to actually carry the baby. I bought baby trend flex loc this time. I haven't used it yet cause baby girl isn't here yet but I've messed with it and it seems to be 1000x better then safety 1st . I didn't want one of the convertible carseats because its winter time and I didn't want to drag my baby in and out of the direct cold. plus if it snows or is raining its a lot easier to be able to cover them up to protect them from the elements. plus if they are sleeping I dont need to wake them to get them out of the car.

Thank you all so much for everyone's in put! so greco seems to be the brand to go with even if I don't go with a convertible one

We got the baby trend flex loc infant seat. We went with baby trend with our now 3 year old because we liked the jogging travel system. When our boys graduated from the infant seat we got the safety 1st complete air 65, which can also be used as an infant seat but I personally couldn't imagine not using an infant seat.
