Sunshine Kids Radian 80. It's rear-facing for as long as you need, then converts to a forward-facing seat that lasts until your child is 80 lbs. Wish they'd have had this seat when my ds outgrew his snugride 4 yrs ago. It's literally the only other seat we'd have needed. A lot of reviews say it's hard to install, but it's a LOT easier than our Britax. Good luck deciding! [ Reply | More
