Just checking out what everyone has :-)
We are still using our Safeseat1, we also have a Marathon and a Scenera, I am getting ready to order another Marathon, I had another Scenera but I returned it and I might keep the other one and play with it more on the installment............ if not then I might return it and either get a 3rd Marathon or an Evenflo Triumph Advance........

Rita if Brody is rear facing, did you have to use a rolled up towel or pool noodle for the angle? I might play with it this weekend a bit (during the day) the last time I did it, it was night time, if it works out then it will go in my parents car.......another thing is the harness adjustor is not smooth at all on the pull.......

I love it, it's so soft. I wanted a Britax but it was out of our price range. I'm very happy with this one though. I just flipped it around to FF for our drive back to Ohio and it was easy to do. Hopefully he doesn't put up too much of a fight when I flip it back around once we return.

I haven't had any problems with it at all...other than the fact that Brody is growing so fast I have to adjust the straps like crazy! He is still rear facing and it just fits perfect in my car. I couldn't figure out how to use the latch system rf'ing, but it looks easy enough to do one we turn him.

Cameron (6.5yo) is using a Graco Turbo booster. He is technically old enough to go without a seat entirely but I still have him using the booster with the back!
Sam (3.5yo) is in a Graco Safeseat 2. He is in the 30-32lb range and 39in tall so he still has room before he reaches the 40lbs and 43in limits of the seat.
Megan (1yo) is in a Britax Marathon. She's already 32in and 26lbs and I worried she would outgrow every other "cheaper" seat on the market by 2.5-3 like Cameron did so when she outgrew her Snugride by 7mo, I convinced DH to get the marathon knowing we can use it until she is ready for a booster or no seat at all.
I do not have extra seats other than my DH has 1 extra booster for the boys in his car (he moves Cameron but hates uninstalling and installing Sam's seat). I prefer Sam being in a harness but for the extremely limited times my DH takes them somewhere without me, I try not to stress about it as Sam does understand he has to sit up and behave. He also knows that in mommy's car, the safest seat for him in his harness so I have no struggles (yet) with that either.

We have the Cosco scenera convertible car seat. So far I like it even more then our Eddie Bauer rear facing one we orig. had!

Logan is in either a Britax Regent or Graco Nautllus depending on his mood (for the last 7 mos it's been a Nautilus).
Brianna is in a Graco Nautilus.
The only extra seat we have is the Regent since Logan seems to prefer the Nautilus right now. If need be it can be installed in DHs car.

Tabitha is in a graco sport. I got it at Target last summer for less than $50. It only goes to like 40lbs ff, 30lbs rf. She is only 18lbs though at 11 months, so I figure she might make it until she is 3 before she even needs to be turned around! We are planning on having another when she is 3 or so, so I figure that when that baby is ready for the convertable seat, I will get her something with a higher weight limit so I can keep her in a harness.
