Hi,
I have a 21 month old (approx. 32 inches, 27 lbs) and am due with another child in October 2002. We are now looking to purchase car seats for our 2nd car.
For our older child we have the Britax advantage, and plan on using our Graco Snug Ride for our infant. We purchased an extra base for the Snug Ride, to fit in car #2. However, I'm looking for recommendations on what to purchase for our older child for car #2, and what to puchase once our infant grows out of the Snug Ride. We love the Britax Advantage, but are considering purchasing a car seat that will work above 40 lbs.
Also, our 2nd car accommodates a latch system.
Here are my questions:
1) What is the safest solution? (this may be the more expensive option, but we're willing to pay for the safest solution). Please include the product manufacturer and name.
2) Is Britax the safest car seat out there?
3) Where can I find the best prices for the seat?
4) What do you recommend for our 2nd child, after she outgrows the the Snug Ride? (for both cars?)
5) Are LATCH seats better/safer?
Thanks for your time!
