Carseat Hunting

Ben and I are checking into getting a convertible carseat for Austin as he is getting pretty fat and heavy these days and has just about out grown his infant carseat. I've spent sometime looking, and have my eyes set on the Britax Boulevard Click n Safe Child Restraint Car Seat, as Britax seems to be the highest rated for convertible carseats. Does anyone have any thoughts? What's worked for you? Am I really going to have to spend around $350 to get a great, comfortable and safe carseat? Please let me know!! Thanks!!

the costco convertible is good too - and big lots sells that one -I wouldn't dream of paying 350
I bought a floor model evenflo at walmart that I LOVE for 50.

I will e-mail you Nicki:) I Have LOVED my Britax Marathon which I used for Pierce for 4 years and L will now use till it expires (6 years total) The Boulevard was not around when I bought P's seat....but it is just a step up in bells and whistles with the same shell. YOu will not be sorry if you buy it. I am a REAL car seat nut:)

Amanda- everyone that I have talked with says go with the Britax too! I really think I'm leaning that way, plus, like you did, I'm planning on using it for all my kids!

Thanks Janie and Amanda for your thoughts!
