Has everyone made the switch to a "big" car seat? If so, what kind did you like? What weight limit did you go with? Ava is 14 months old and still in her infant carrier. She is just now outgrowing the weight limit! She is a little girl! I'm having a hard time making a choice of which one I want. I would really like to get one that goes up to 100lbs but most of those are forward facing only and she's so little I still want her rear facing for a while!

I chose a Britax Marathon and it goes to 70 lbs. She is currently rear facing in it. I figure the 70lb limit will be plenty, as I entered highschool in the 85lb range.

I have one that goes up to 100lbs and can be used rear facing. It's a Safety 1st Alpha Omega. But unless you have a van or an SUV I wouldn't recommend it. I have a Grand Caravan and it barely fits in it rear facing. You have to put the seat in front of in all the way forward and all the way straight up and down. So not very comfortable for anyone other than a very small person to sit there. DS outgrew his infant carrier at 6mo. Not by weight limit but by size and the amnt I could carry. We have moved him to forward facing now though and we love the carseat.

Jaxon's been in a bigger carseat for awhile now.

We moved Jax to the convertible quite a few months ago. He is still rear facing. I'm in no rush to turn him around as he is just finally broke 20 pounds.

We just moved kinsley to a convertible car seat but she still fit into her infant seat we moved her so she would be higher up and could see out the window. She is still rear facing since she hasn't hit 20lbs. We have the britax also.
