Need help picking a convertible seat
DD (12.5 months) will soon outgrow her Safeseat, and I'm starting to research convertible seats for our next step. I'm hoping you all can help me out with real-life feedback!
We live in NYC and don't own a car; we use a stroller and public transportation 99% of the time. So the seat will mainly be used for occasional cab rides (when the weather is too bad to walk to the pediatrician), in rental cars to Grandma's house a few times a year, and in planes a few times a year. The main things I'm looking for:
-easy, FAST installation using seat belt (since there's no guarantee any car we use it in will have LATCH, and I hate fumbling with the belt clip on the Safeseat while the cabdriver gets impatient)
-not too cumbersome/heavy, in case we have to haul it through an airport, and again for ease of installation and removal
-Weight limits aren't so important; DD is small (19.5 lbs, 29 inches at 12 months) and will outgrow the Safeseat in height long before she reaches the weight limit.
I know people LOVE their Britaxes, but I'm hesitant to spend $$$$$ on a seat we'll use 12-15 times a year at most. (And as I said above, we clearly don't need a 60-lb weight limit!) But I also don't want to get a cheaper seat that I have to spend 10 minutes fussing with to install properly. Thoughts? (And thanks in advance!)
