britax.
safest for your child
buy the britax marathon they run about $269.99US but will last up to like 60lbs or so. were buying one soon too to go bigger..
we have the roundabout..my baby also is VERY tall and the roundabout is a bit small for her.
we tried evenflo first..there worthless..then we tried graco..just as bad. the britax is easy to use and easy to install
if you have a small car go with the roundabout..as it will still work well. if you have a bigger vehicle go the marathon. i bought the roundabout when i had a honda civic cuz it was so small. and the marathon wouldnt fit
my baby girl is 17 months 33inches tall and like 27lbs..she wears 24m-2t clothes!

Britax car seats are monsters! Test it before you buy it. We tried one but it wouldn't fit in the car without crunching the seat in front of it up so far that nobody could fit in it. I know it seems like a really big deal decision, but it doesn't matter all that much. Every carseat goes through rigorous testing before being put on the market. We liked our Evenflow... the Triumph V, I think. We just recently bought a cheaper, lighter Evenflow as a replacement. I'd recommend going with the cheaper seat and putting the money you saved into an account for the first time your baby throws up all over the carseat and you can't get the smell out....

In my opinion Britax are way too expensive for a car seat when they all pretty much work the same. If u do not use the car much why pay all of that 250-300 for a car seat when u can buy a really nice one for under 200? Go to babies r us and take a look at there selection. =)

I like the Britax, though Evenflo is a good brand as well. Keep your daughter rear facing as long as you can. The safest car seat is the one that YOU will use properly every time you strap your daughter in the vehicle!

Britax is a little more expensive but the safest even though evenflo is safe too or they wouldn't sell it but if you are low on cash then evenflo is just fine,your baby will still be safe

I highly recommend Britax...One of the safest seats on the market! I used it for my son and also my niece. Britax makes a carseat(the marathon)that goes up to 65 pounds with a 5 point harness, great for tall babies as well. Britax is expensive...but how much is too much to pay for safety?

I would choose Evenflo because it is more of a synonymous brand name with baby products.

They all have to pass the same tests and criteria - I would find out which fits in to your car the easiest and enables you to use it with the least strain on you.
