I had no idea that
car seat laws vary so much by state. In MD, children have to be in a restraint system
when they are 7 years and younger and either less than 57 inches or 65 pounds or less. And there's no preference for rear-facing car seats, even though the AAP does recommend rear-facing for children under 2 years of age. With the winter coming -- sweaters, coats, etc. -- the buckle on J's rear-facing car seat won't be able to buckle. Guess we'll be in the market soon for a convertible rear-facing car seat. Baby Bargains has the following recommendations:
| Brand | Rating | Front-facing weight limit | Price |
| Britax Boulevard | A- | 65 lbs | $310-330 |
| Britax Decathalon | B+ | 65 lbs | $295 |
| Britax Diplomat | A | 40 lbs | $260 |
| Britax Marathon | A- | 65 lbs | $250-280 |
| Britax Roundabout | A | 40 lbs | $180-200 |
| First Years True Fit (C630) | A | 65 lbs | $180-220 |
| Maxi Cosi Priori | A | 40 lbs | $170-200 |
Any suggestions for a convertible rear-facing car seat?
