I have 1 mo old son, 10 lbs, 23" and need a second car seat. He's much longer than anyone thought he'd be since DH and I are shorties. Ped says we'll have a better idea of his projected growth in a few more months. He is currently in a Snugride 32 in the middle, which I love except it's now too heavy for me to move in and out of the car. We got another infant carrier except I don't like how it fits him (Safety 1st cheapo) and have never used it. I will be going back to work shortly and we'll need 2 seats. I don't really want to buy another $60 base since I can't really use the portability factor and it seems a waste since we'll need a bigger seat anyway.
What would be the top choices for a convertible seat? I would like something that has a long life span. Something from Britax? We have an 04 CRV and 07 Avalon, both have big back seats. He is an only child, but we frequently have other adults in the back, particularly for longer trips. Money is not an issue. I would like the easy adjust straps like on the SR32, breatheable fabric and comfy for long road trips.
Thanks for all your advice!
