I need a convertible seat.
DS is 28 3/4 inches and 18 pounds. I believe he is 1/4 of an inch from outgrowing his keyfit. I need a convertible seat for him. I only bought Britax for my girls. I’ve owned at least 7 of them. After the way they handled the BOB stroller safety concerns and their seats breaking during consumer reports testing, I just don’t want to support them any longer
What on earth do I buy?
Right now my kids are 3 across in my Odyssey. I was considering a Radian but I’ve read that they don’t install well in Odyssey vans. I’m also wondering if a higher seat would be better so he could see out the window.
TIA for any opinions or insight.

Do you have a place nearby that will let you try seats in your vehicle before you buy? I did that with all the ones I bought, and changed my mind on one purchase because of it. Buy Buy Baby is probably the biggest chain that does this now that BRU is gone.
In my Sienna I can put almost anything in the captains chairs, but very very few things will fit in the plus one seat due to its shape. Don’t remember how the Odyssey seats are shaped.

Yes to this! After DD1 hated the convertible car seat (we had a Marathon) I vowed I would find a car seat that DD2 didn’t hate so I took her to a local baby store who let me try her in a few seats and she was the happiest in the Graco My Ride (and the baby store had a nicer fabric than the BRUS one) and the Britax Blvd. . I tried them in the car and the Britax was easier to install. If the Graco would’ve had better connectors we would’ve gone with that. Granted it has been 8 years since I last bought a convertible seat but I was so glad I took my kid with me and tried seats in my car.
Also if I were buying today and I didn’t want to buy a Britax I would definitely be checking out the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio seat as we have been really happy with the Peg Perego booster seat we have for DD2.

(Check the Amazon Warehouse as I have bought a few new in box car seats from there and the only reason they were there was because the box was broken...all were less than 6 months old)
