I've gone through and read a LOT of the postings about the different pros/cons about various britax carseats and I'm still not sure what the significant differences between the seats are. My 6-month old daughter has grown out of her snugride and is currently using my son's old Advantage. But I want to get a new seat for her because the Advantage is a little beat up from all the flying we did with it (the adjustable knobs both broke off thanks to the gentle handling by the baggage folks).
What the difference between the Boulevard, Decathlon, Marathon, and Wizard? What is it that makes the prices range from $249 to $289? Many posters talk about the short crotch straps on the Boulevard--are they really that short? Any shorter than what they are on an Advantage? And couldn't the short crotch straps be compensated by adjusting the tightness on the shoulder harness?
I plan to head over to BRU this weekend to check them out, but I'd like some more info about what to look for or what feature to check out before I go. Also, my in-laws have offered to buy us this new carseat, so I'd like to let them know soon which one we'd like.
Sorry for the ramblings--thanks!
