Highly recommend Safe in the Seat on Instagram, she offers so much great info on car seats and has buying guides that helped us pick the perfect convertible seat for us. At the end of the day, all seats on the market are safe because they all pass the same testing and regulations but the features are beneficial to weigh out based on your lifestyle, the car you drive, how big your kiddo is, etc. I went with a Chicco Fit 4 because I wanted it to be airplane compliant and to be more narrow for fitting in my vehicle.
We are a Nuna family so we had Pipa for infant and for my 4.5 year old she’s in a Rava and my 16 month old is in an Exec (we would have gone with Rava but was swayed by the fact that it can be a high back booster too). But agree that Safe in the Seat was great. We used that to help decide. We have a CRV and the two car seats do make it difficult to have someone else in the backseat. So if you’re planning on multiple kids and wanting to fit more than 1, I’d look to make sure you get something slim enough to work.
I can’t help with the RFP question. On car seats, our operating theory was to prioritize comfort (at least, what WE thought seemed comfortable) since we spend a lot of time in the car and thought it might minimize fussing. We got the maxi cosi pria 85. She’s 4.5 and still in it (although technically she’s large enough for a booster now). You can find less desirable colors on discount sometimes - which is why ours are Barbie pink 😳 I love that the covers wash really well. Only downside is that it’s big. I wouldn’t advise it if your car is smaller than, say, a Toyota Camry.
After buying many brands, I liked the Diono the best because it is narrow, allowing more room in the back seat of a grownup needs to sit there.
Second the Diono for the same reason
