Hi I was just trying to register for an infant seat and have ready the info on baby bargains.
the Century Avanta definitely looked like the Safest seat, lots of adjustments, 5 pt system and the clip together chest attachment. I also like the color/fabric available the best. The only thing is it's definitely heavier than the Graco Snugride DX5. It was heavy even empty.
the Smart fit plus seemed lighter and adjusts to get level in the car but has 3 pt system.
does anyone have experience with these seats? Good and bad points? do you really end up taking the whole seat and baby out of car each time (therefore lightness would be a major benefit)
I guess the othe issue would be that we bought a 2001 Odyssey with the lower anchor system but the infants seats don't have them yet. should we just get the least expensive of the 3 (smartfit plus) and assume we'll buy another seat for baby # 2 when they come out with the LATCH system on all seats?
thanks in advance,
karen
