Britax Car Seat Questions

I had asked about the best car seat for my infant and word across the board is Britax. Here is my next question ... will this car seat fit into a Hyundai Tucson? AND do they have cup holders? Features I would hope a car seat would have if I am spending that much money!

Which Britax Carseat?

We need to buy a new carseat for my daughter (soon to be 1 y/o and 20+ lbs.). She is in an infant carseat now but is over the height limits (29"). We are looking at the Britax Marathon but I hate how bulky it looks. I would like to keep her rear-facing as long as possible. I was also considering the Britax Boulevard or Dilpomat. Anyone have experience with those models? Or advice on carseats in general? Thanks!

Which Britax Car Seat Should I Get??

I currently have a Britax Roundabout for my 18 month old, but was looking to get another one for our other car. Also, I'm expecting our 2nd in April, so another car seat will come in handy. I figure our next baby will be able to use the Roundabout when he/she outgrows the infant seat, so I'm looking for a seat for my son who will be around 2y.o. I would like something that he could use for as long as possible. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about the Marathon, but there's the Boulevard and a few others..and I'm not sure what all the...

Switching to a Front Facing Car Seat.

I am currently using the rear facing infant carrier, however, my son is now 6 months old and is at the height requirment to switch seats. He is still 1 lbs below the weight limit for the front facing (22lbs), and I am wondering if it is even safe to switch him yet? He still seems so young to be front facing but he can sit up on his own and when he is in his carrier he just pulls himself into a sitting position and gets angry when you have to latch him down. Plus it sure would be nice to not have to lug around the extra weight of the...

Infant Outgrowing Baby Car Seat??

This may sound sort of silly, but I really am not sure what my options are. My almost 8-month old son is on the verge (literally) of outgrowing his infant car seat, both length-wise and weight-wise. What are my options for the "next size up"? I don't want to buy yet another one when he becomes a toddler, and so on. Can anyone recommend a good car seat that will work for a 20 lb. baby all the way up to when he is a toddler? Also, if you are in the Watertown area, anyone know of any good places to shop for these things? We have a...

Rear Facing Car Seat

I just have a doubt after reading a news article about new suggestions for kids in car seats. I know they say to have your child rear-facing until at least 1 year old and 2 if possible. My son has been facing forward for quite a while, though. He's 10 months old and at his last doc. visit at the beginning of February he was 2.5 feet long. If I were to put him rear-facing his feet would be sitting on the head rest. How are you supposed to keep them rear-facing when they're so long? Are there car seats that sit farther from the seat back of...

Britax Convertible Car Seat or Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat?

When deciding on which car seat to buy prior to the birth of twins, is it better to invest in two convertible car seats from the start that they can grow into (and hope they'll meet the minimum weight requirement of 5 pounds when they're ready to go home) instead of two infant car seats knowing they'll be outgrown after the first year and will eventually need to be replaced with another pair of convertible car seats anyway?
