I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful wonderful children. When I became pregnant with my first child I became obsessed with trying to find her a great infant
Car Seat. She was born in 2003 so the
Britax Companion was not out yet but I bought a Graco which seemed to do the trick for her as an infant. She was a small baby so she did not get placed into a convertible car seat until she was one. Before that time came I again was obsessed with trying to find her the safest on the market. I went to all the stores trying everything humanly possible with the seats and found that the
Britax Roundabout was the seat for me. There wasn't anything I tired that it didn't pass. As soon as we placed her in the seat she smiled and seemed to be in heaven. The seat had tons of padding and was the easitest seat to install that I have ever tried. My son was born in early 2005 and though the companion WAS out on the market we just used our daughters old infant
Car Seat for him. He was only in it for such a short time, he is a really big boy. Well when it came time to but him in a seat I went right back to
Britax. I purchased a Marathon and placed my daughter in that and him in the Roundabout. Well stupid me listened to a friend who said that the
combi Victoria was an excellent seat and that I should use that seat for my son. Of course I listened and bought that seat and sold my roundabout. Well as soon as I got the
combi I hated it. It literally takes me and my husband to install the seat. I have to push the seat down with all my might and he, a very strong military man, has to pull so hard to tighten it down that I thought the seat was going to break. We never took the seat out of the car in fear of having to put it back in. It takes over 30 minutes to get it in. Well I had had it with the
combi so I just bought my daughter the Husky from
Britax and my son will be in the Marathon from now on. I even went and purchased a Roundabout for the little boy I take care of. I will never buy anything but a
Britax. They are by far the safest, most realiable, durable and easiest to install I have ever found. I tell everyone about them and they all buy them and fell the same way. My kids absolutely love the
britax seats and I know yours will to.
