A great comparison chart for carseats...

[gatorsmom]

I just found this article with a link to a great carseat chart created by the NHTSA comparing everything from infant seats to boosters. I like that it lists weight/height limits for each seat and tells what kind of seat it is. Hope someone finds this helpful.

And here is the link to the article which seemed helpful too. I dont' think articles like this are published often enough: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1162998

Well, it's one resource, that NHTSA chart. Unfortunately I don't think it's terribly clear (like, it doesn't note that the True Fit can be used RF past 22 pounds, when of course it can be used RF till 35), and it includes so many outdated models (all the coscos that go to 40lbs harnessed and make potentially deadly booster seats) that it's likely to confuse searching newbies who are looking for new seats :/.

My DH sent me that article this morning, that's pretty cool :)

How about these spreadsheets, I'm not sure if they are public? http://sites.google.com/site/carseatmeasurements/
