7 month old now barely fits in the infant seat. Any recommendations on 3/4 in one car seats from Infant (rear facing) up to booster seat age? First time parent and overwhelmed with the choices.

3 kids aged 18mo-11 yo here. “Big kids” don’t want to sit in car seats, plus they take up a huge amount of room if you have more than 1 kid. I would plan on using up to about age 5, then switch to light weight booster. We like Britax Marathon

Have 4 Graco 4ever car seats. Awesome.

Thanks all. Great suggestions.

Consumer reports

Diono Radian Rxt. It goes new born, rear, front, booster. Slim enough to go 3-wide in most cars. Heavy as crap though. Don’t travel with it

Also it has a 10 year life rather than the standard 5. Important if you plan to have more kids

Not unlike strollers, kinda impossible to go with just one unless you are willing to compromise. e.g. we have a travel one, a beater to put in Grandma’s car, a Diono to get everyone in our smaller car. If you have any friends with kids, they will be desperate to give you their seats as spares. Very hard to get rid of - no resale market, can’t go in the garbage, refused by Goodwill etc

Wirecutter is a great resource for baby product reviews

OP. I feel ya. Btdt. It can be overwhelming. We all want to do the best. But it is all ok. And not that hard. If the car seat isn’t the cheapest one in the shop, then it’s gonna be just fine. A million folks have done this before you. And you don’t need the expensive ones with the organic fabrics. You just don’t. And it’s the same with Every other choice. Trick is to chill and enjoy the moments, the giggles, the laughter. Cos they grow up fast and then go. And which brand of car seat you bought really doesn’t matter then...

Ditto

Chicco Next zip is REALLY solid. Found a good deal online - look for coupon codes before purchasing.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
