Britax Car Seat

I own the original version, which I purchased last year (and I reviewed it here). What I loved about the original was the compact size and super safety ratings. What I did not know at the time (chaulk it up to first time parent) is your kid can max out at 40 lbs. and may not be tall enough for a booster seat.

I have 'Irish twins' so I moved my 4 month old from his Graco Snap and Go to the Roundabout (rear facing). I put my 14 month old in the Roundabout 50 forward facing - he's north of 20 pounds and more than a year. I know some people keep their kids in longer, but he seems uncomfortable with his feet against my real seat.

The installation is super simple with the latch system and trunk anchor.

I picked up a weird pattern at Target for 9 - sale price in this week's circular.
