In search of car seats: final decision
Written by jlz on April 2, 2006 – 6:15 pm -This is the month to get everything ready. We have been buying all the stuff we’ve been researching about. This time we bought the final big piece, the car seat.
After going over many car seats and spending hours at Babies R Us, we’ve decided on the Britax Marathon Convertable Car Seat.
We’ve decided not to get an infant car seat. Instead, we will use the Marathon along with a sling (we have one from B33b3r’s sis-in-law.) It will be a bit of a hassle to have to pick up anZel each time but B33b3r wants to hold anZel all the time, so this will work out.
We were originally considering the Britax Boulevard, but it seems like anZ3l will be a bit tight when he grows up, especially if this is suppose to hold him until 65lbs. The price wasn’t really an issue here since the Boulevard is only $30 more than the Marathon, retail.
We never really looked at too many car seats other than the Britax car seats. I think we have made the right decision.

I enjoyed reading the articles, found them very informative. Here’s another article I found which was helpful to me when I chose the carseat for my child:
