I am somewhat of a car seat safety nazi (see here) and the brand of convertible car seat we use is Britax because they pioneer the very safest features that eventually become industry standards. This comes at a cost: they are not the cheapest seats and like many manufacturers, they dictate pricing policies to their vendors. From now until March 1st or 2nd is the week Britax seats go on sale everywhere from BabyAge to Amazon to HipMonkey, which donates all profits to the Kyle David Miller foundation. So if you are in the market for a car seat, now might be the time.

Amen. Britax is the way to go. Being frugal and being cheap are two different things. Frugality is a virtue: cheapness is not. Frugality says, “I will save up and buy the best I can afford (and in this case, the safest I can afford),” while cheapness says, “I will buy the cheapest thing out there.”
Thank you for promoting these very good, very safe child seats.
I wish I’d known about this earlier! We just got Jacob a Britax a few weeks ago! But we still got a good deal…only about $20 more than the sale price listed on Amazon for the same one. They are the best! I don’t mind paying that much (ok, well, actually grandma bought it, so I don’t mind HER paying that much) when I know it will last and is the safest out threre!
