Britax Decathlon Car Seat —
As most other first-time-mom's, I did research on everything: carseats, highchairs, swings, bottles etc. After asking around, reading reviews and comparing many stores and brands, I decided I had to go with this Britax model. Besides being widely known as one of the safest carseats on the market, the ease I found in assembling, using & cleaning it only improved my opinion!
While it appears to have all kinds of buckles and pads and straps and hooks, it comes with a manual that makes the confusing.. easy to understand. I found that I could adjust the straps & pads very easily, remove AND put back the cover for cleaning easily, and buckle my kiddo in easily. Some reviews state that the buckles and snaps to get your kiddo in the seat are too much work. How much work is "too" much work in terms of your childs safety? I love seeing my little girl all buckled in and safe and snug. She doesn't complain or fuss about the buckles or padding and she's all about her car naps now.
I was cautious of spending this much money at first. It's alot; to any parent these days. But once you take into consideration the safety factor and the length of use, I believe it will all add up and make sense. It's a good buy and I 100% recommend them to all my family & friends in the market!
