personally we love the britax carseats, we have had the roundabout marathon regent and now frontier. i have two boys, 5 and 2, who were big boys while babies. i loved the easy install with LATCH and how extremely sturdy they were once installed properly. we had evenflo and graco on different occasions for my husbands truck for the occasional use, but ended up buying britax seats to replace them. so we have four different britax seats now. i would recommend the marathon for now for your little one, it is rated up to 65 pounds and is very comfortable for sleeping if they fall asleep, next would be the frontier which i love the improvements they have made on the booster/convertible regent, it is rated up to 100 pounds with lap shoulder belt and you can use the 5 pt harness up to 85 pounds, highest rating out there!! must be able to check out the seats if you have access to them to see if what will fit in your car and how your child fits into the seat as well. once you decide, REGISTER the seat, regardless of which brand you choose so you can be notified of any recalls, good luck choosing, there are a lot out there!

It was comparable to the others that we saw, but our daughter is not as comfortable in this car seat as the other. We also bought the Graco covertible, myride 65 (I think) and she loves it! She is comfortable and she like to have the cup holders for toys or a sippy cup.

Yes! My daughter loves it. It is a booster so the padding isn't quite like we are used to with an actual carseat. However, the padding that is on this seat is much more comfortable than others I looked at. We find it very comfortable riding long distances as well.

I bought this stroller for my grandchildren, mu daughter tells me any kind of car seat will work with it, she has used several different kinds and at the moment she has twins in different brands of car seats (hand-me downs) and they both work.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :)

I would go to a baby store that has an assembled stroller in stock and let the clerk know you want to buy a double, but you have to make sure it will fit in your trunk first. Both the local Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us, let me try a couple of strollers in the trunk of my Fit and my sister's PT.

I have this stroller and did use a graco carseat. It "sits" in there fine, we used the seat belt of the stroller and hooked it to where the seatbelt goes through the carseat. It did intrude on the other kids space, and it COULD fall out if hit very hard. It worked fine for us, though!

even though your child is 20 lbs. its recommended that infants 6 months old should stay rear facing. I waited until my son was 1 yr old before placing him forward facing. this carseat is awesome and my son loves it, but my recommendation would be to wait until your child is at least a year old

You will need a Carseat adaptor. I will say I love the stroller! About to have our second child and it will be perfect for a newborn and one year old!

I would definitely go for the graco! I hate my joovy ergo. It is extremely heavy, you can't fold it with the sunshade attachment and was a huge waste of money! The only positive is that the joovy is compatible with any carseat.

I debated for about a month or two on weather to get the radian or a britax and I have a friend who was certified for installing carseats and apparently britax shortened their seats so kiddos outgrow them faster..the the radian has a steal frame..allows you to rear face til 45 pounds and lasts through a booster seat:) diono also just came out with a carseat called the Pacifica that actually allows you to rear face your child til 50 pounds and ya still in the same price range as the radian and britax:)

For future readers: if comfort is a priority, after safety of course, then do consider a Recaro. With a little research I think you'll find yourself with plenty peace of mind. Their specs are outstanding and I've never experienced a more plush, cushioned child seat.

I think you have to be 39 inches. I would wait a little bit and let her grow. It's a big difference from a regular car seat

I think the instructions said not to use the seats until the baby is like 6 months old. However, because it reclines into an almost flat position I feel you can use it on a younger child. 1 month & 10 lbs. is probably a little small... But once they are like 4 months old it's probably okay as long as the straps can be adjusted tight enough to safely hold the baby in the stroller. For a 1 month old I'd recommend using the bassinet add on or buy the car seat adapter to use that on your stroller until your baby is a bit bigger. I hope this helps!

My baby hates the car seat and the bassinet. I used this snugseat when she was 2 months for my uppababy vista and she loves it. I say give it a try. Every baby is different.

I ordered this same Pet Car Seat in a medium for my 2 Yorkies that are 4.8 lbs each and they fit perfectly in it. I think the medium would work great for your 10 lb baby. My Yorkies love riding in it.
