Check the ratings on consumerreports.com. They give safety ratings plus cost. This will help you make a decision. There are some very safe models that are not too expensive. Good luck!

Britax frontier 85! Harnesses to 85 lbs then uses the belt to 120. You'll likely never need another seat unless they expire before your kids are big and old enough, your kids are tiny :)

Just bought the Graco Nautilus and Graco Argos, which are both 3-in-1 seats. So, you can use the as forward facing up to 65 lbs, then use them as a full booster and then backless booster. Babies R Us is having a trade-in event today and tomorrow; bring in your old seats or other baby gear and get 25% off the new item. Google it and you'll see the details. If you buy two carseats at once, they'll give you an extra 10% off if you ask for the twin discount.

Recaro or Sunshine Radian

Sunshine Radian. I have the 65, but there is an 80 one as well (that is the lb limit). The height limit is 51 or 53 inches, a few more than my Britax Marathon. We bought the Radian as out travel seat several years ago (it folds up) but also use it when we go places in other people's cars, and will move my son into it when he outgrows the Marathon (he is only 3.5 now) or we need it for another kid. I think he will be in the Radian almost until he doesn't have to be in a car seat anymore (8 years old). This is a great seat, and also not as wide as most others, so they take up less space. It is also lower and sits more in the seat, so a larger kid isn't hanging off, I can't really imagine my son at 5 or 6 in the Marathon, it would probably be uncomfortable for him.

We have the Recaro Pro Sport (which can be used as a 5 pt for up to 90 lbs. & also can be used as a high back booster) & the Sunshine Kids Radian 80, which is a 5 pt only (no booster function) up to 80 lbs. We love them both. The Radian seat bottom does fold up & makes it easier to carry through airports, though it is heavy. The Recaro has the "wings" to give it some side impact protection & also makes a rest for a sleeping child's head. We've had the Radian for 4 years now, & I think they've replaced our model with one that goes up to 85 lbs.
