zc911 zc911 Ferrari4Sale 😎 Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/01/00 Posts: 16452 Loc: toronto	Our daughter has out grown her infanct rear facing seat, rated at 30/30. She is still tiny, only 20lbs but 32 inches long. I dont want to put her in a front facing seat yet, and i dont want to have to buy 3 seats before she goes into a booster seat. I saw this (wish they had this a year ago!) http://www.safetysuperstore.com/product/20505/primo_viaggio_sip_5_65/?category=28 which looks like it will do until she needs a booster seat no? What are you guys using? _________________________ http://www.justaddgrease.com all car stuff all the time

BISH0P BISH0P Step Up Babysitter Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/10/02 Posts: 20551 Loc: Toronto	I have the Diono Radian RXT and R100 for my 3 kids. They are metal framed, slim and can go to a booster. Also fit well rear facing for my vehicle (had an Eddie Bauer for my first kid that wouldn't fit rear facing in the same car) http://ca.diono.com/car-seats/radian-rxt My biggest word of advice is to buy from a Toys-r-us or a Sears. They won't screw you on a full refund if it doesn't fit well in your car. Test first before you buy as well.

SuPeR-MaRiO SuPeR-MaRiO Post Master Sr Registered: 06/28/01 Posts: 6457 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	We're in the same boat. My son has out grown his infant seat and we need to go to the next step. Most seats at the next level can be used for both rear and front facing. Keep her in the rear facing position as long as you want/can and then just turn it around and install it so its front facing.

Britax just had their sale recently although it wasn't that great. As mentioned in Big Tasty's thread, I got my Diono R100's at sears for stupid cheap, but amazon.ca is pretty good as well

SW20_MR2 SW20_MR2 Post Master Sr Registered: 08/27/01 Posts: 5282 Loc: Markham, Ontario, Canada	The Radians are awesome cause they aren't as wide as many other seats. They allow you to rear face the kid for a long time (our son was 3 when I switched him), but the main drawback is that when you are rear facing, he front seat is pretty much useless cause the Radian is very tall. I'm probably gonna get another Radian for our 2nd son when he's it of the infant carrier. _________________________ 1991 MR2 Turbo aka "The Myth"...does it really exist? 2006 Mazda3 Sport aka "Reality"...it really does exist...

BISH0P BISH0P Step Up Babysitter Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/10/02 Posts: 20551 Loc: Toronto	Diono has a foam padding for the Radians that allows the car seat to sit more vertical and therefor gives you more room to stretch out in the front. It goes for $12.

SuPeR-MaRiO SuPeR-MaRiO Post Master Sr Registered: 06/28/01 Posts: 6457 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	These were the ones we were looking at about 1.5 years ago. Britax Marathon - $300 Boulevard - $340 Advocate - $400 I think the Marathon didn't have side impact protection or something like that. We went with the Boulevard. I think the more expensive it was, the more side protection it had and thus the wider it was.

BISH0P BISH0P Step Up Babysitter Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/10/02 Posts: 20551 Loc: Toronto	Ya, get and infant carrier first and foremost. Easier to carry in and out especially when they are sleeping. From there move to the seats we're talking about above. We got the Baby Trend Flex Loc as our infant carrier. I liked it cause it was smaller (lighter) than most and had a harness adjustment that would raise the back (and straps) as the child grew. Saved you from rethreading the straps each month as they got bigger. Funny I'm just looking at them online and I realize how much of a light weight my twins are. The bigger of the two just hit 22lbs @ 19 months, hell I could still have her in an infant seat base on weight

SW20_MR2 SW20_MR2 Post Master Sr Registered: 08/27/01 Posts: 5282 Loc: Markham, Ontario, Canada	In general, Britax and Radian are the most common if you're looking at mid-range car seats. The Britax ones are easier to install, but they tend to be a little wider. The Radian seats are narrower and are built like a tank. You can't go wrong either way. _________________________ 1991 MR2 Turbo aka "The Myth"...does it really exist? 2006 Mazda3 Sport aka "Reality"...it really does exist...

Do your girls have a significant weight gap?
