I got the Graco and we've been happy with it. Cheaper than Britax with good reviews. Plus, my son LOVES the cup holder. I was alittle disappointed that it's just as big and bulky as the other convertible carseats (hoping we could squeeze a person in between the two carseats, but alas no) but I wanted to get one that converted to boosters because, like you with two little ones so close together in age, these carseats are getting expensive!!!
