good online sources for car seat discounts?

[LucyG]

What are some quality, reputable places online to buy car seats? I'm looking at the Evenflo Triumph and at Britaxes (sp?). I will try the actual seats out in my car at a store before ordering, but I am clueless on where to look online. Thanks for your help!

I just got a roundabout from e-bay for $157.50 from [email protected]. It was manufactured in april 2003 was new in box (wouldn't buy 2nd hand). I was very nervous about buying from e-bay but am very happy with it. Baby surplus sell alot of new roundabouts on ebay and you can get a "buy now" for about $160 or bid and hope to get a better deal.
Baby love has big cat for $159 or you can just put in britax roundabout into the search on your computer and you'll get a price comparison from mysimon or someone like that and it'll show you the best place to get the best price. Don't know for the triumph but I'm sure the search will help.

Thanks for the info! I, too, am nervous about buying on ebay, as a friend of mine just lost $900 buying a video camera that way. But, I will look into it, as well as doing a search.

We bought our Triumph at BRU with a 15% coupon. It brought the price down to a little over $100. You could try BRU online (Amazon) as I think they have some online coupons right now (but they typically are a rip off on shipping), or Baby Age because of the flat rate shipping (3.95) or Baby Center (10% off to new customers).

It's a great seat, btw.

I got my RA from babylove.com and my Galaxy from elitecarseats.com. The prices were great, both had excellent customer service. I do prefer the Galaxy seat to the plain RA.

I bought 2 RA's at babylove.com - they were 159.99 plus shipping on some discontinued patterns. I was very happy with them. I'm not sure if they have any left.

I am trying to decide between the Galaxy and Roundabout - do you mind sharing why you like the Galaxy better? It is larger than the Roundabout and I am worried about the size.
