Car Seat Transition / from Infant to Toddler Carseat.

I'm not really sure what your question is?? Your baby should be out of the infant car seat (unless you have a new 35lb weight limit one) and should still be rear facing. Even if they are over the weight limit (which is 20lbs) you cannot face forward until at least 12 months, although recommendations are for anywhere between 2-3 nowadays. We have an Evenflo Triumph which is great. It's kinda bulky, but other than that, I love it. The best feature is the turning handle to secure the belt. It's reasonably priced and my son seems to be fine sitting in it and often falls asleep, as long as it's near naptime anyway!

We love our britax boulevard. I've bought 2 now. One for each of my little ones. The thing I love about it is it can stay rear facing to 40 lbs it you want. My kids however were too tall to keep them rear facing before too long. However, We loved the reclining posistion you can have it in. My 20 month old sleeps most of the time we are in the car and I have her reclining so her head doesn't flop all over. My 3 yr old love to sit right up so I have hers in the full upright position.

Forward facing you can have your child in it till they are 70 lbs. So this is a carseat that we'll have for a long time. The price of the carseat is $319, but I've never paid over $200 for mine. I just watch all over the web for sales. Allbeebaby.com has sales all the time on them. Note that I like the boulevard also because of theadjustable head support the other models don't seem to have this. It's really easy to adjust the carseat without having to remove it. Also note that all the adjustable parts in this carseat adjust easily and quick without having to remove the carseat. Love it!!!

I would choose one that has some depth too it. My daughter has a Cosco seat with shallow depth in our truck. When she falls asleep her head is ALWAYS falling forward. Very uncomfortable.

In my car she has a Britax Marathon. Very deep. She sleeps very well while traveling.

Are you moving him into a convertible seat (i.e. Britax Marathon or Graco My Ride 65) or a toddler seat (i.e. Britax Frontier or Graco Nautilus)? You don't want to do a toddler seat yet as they don't rear face. But it's definitely time to move into a convertible like the Marathon or My Ride 65.

The manuals usually state the limits, but since they are making the limits higher these days, they are usually not met before switching. Definitely switch him to the convertible if that's what you're asking. keep him rear facing. if buying one, choose one that has good safety ratings, but that goes to at least 40 pounds or more so you can use it til he's 4 or 5, especially if you think he'll continue to be big for his age.

It seems like you already know the answer! We moved our little one to the britax marathon and bought a britax frontier for the older one at this points yes check albeebaby.com for the best deals, or buy new in box on eBay!

I used evenflo triumph great seat, you would still have to use it rear facing ,because you child isn't a year old AND 20lbs .
Not sure what your question is though.
