My Wife, a Pediatrician, did a ton of research - with the first priority being safety, safety, and, I'll say it again, safety.
We were Britax users for our first car seats and found it a fine car seat, though pricey.
So, this time around, with our son growing too long for the Britax seats that we had, we decided to look at all the options.
Price was not part of the equation.
Design was not either.
Safety was it.
We highly recommend this Graco car seat (We have three now)
1) The price blows Britax away.
2) The design is very nice. Our son loves the drink holder as well as the toy "compartment" in the arm rests. He "hides" toys in the arm rests and has a lot of fun fooling us.
The installation was simple.
The headrest is extremely easy to use and to "fit".
The five point harness is critical to our son's safety and it is very easy to use. Though, it is slightly different than Britax, so there is a few days of getting used to a "new" system. After that, there is no problem.
Overall, we are very happy with Graco.
