Thanks do they have crib ratings?

[SavaAngel]

Handy - thanks. We have a Graco ComfortSport for AJ and have been very happy with it. We used it rear facing and forward facing.

I am a little surprised the Graco Nautilus didn't rate under Greater than 40 lb Forward Facing Harness Capacity, but maybe it is considered a booster.

Thanks for posting this! We keep meaning to start our research but haven't yet. You're a lifesaver!

[*Maddie&Jacobs*Mommy*]

Awesome! Thanks. The convertible seat DD is in now, and the baby will be in eventually (because we have 2) is the Evenflo Triumph Advance LX and the infant carrier we have is the Graco Snug Ride. Makes me feel good

[Kai and Gabby's Mom]

Thanks for the information. We need to get another convertible, we are set for a infant seat with the chicco key fit and Kai has the britax marathon, but he will still be in it when we need to move out of the infant seat into another convertible

Thanks! I was seriously contemplating getting the Chicco KeyFit, now I'm going to!
