We like our Britax Diplomat, and it fits in our Corrolla. Pricy but worth every penny.

what type of budget do you have?

Are you planning on ERFing?

Evenflo - Triumph Premier Convertible Car Seat, Heath

I have this one except mine is in black n gray, I like this one cuz I don't have to keep taking out the straps to ajust it.... I always hated taking out the atraps & guiding them back where they go.....

I second the Graco Myride 65. My son loves his.

Must be the Cosco Scenera. YES, it's a good seat. OP, it RF to 35 lbs, and it's inexpensive, which is GREAT, but it only FF harnesses to 40 lbs, so you WILL need another seat down the road.

If you wanna get a great seat that'll take you all the way to booster age, the First Years TrueFit and the Graco MyRide are GREAT seats.

They both FF to 65 lbs, and run about the same price. The TrueFit is better for taller kids and RF to 35 lbs. The MyRide is simple and to the point, and RF to 40 lbs. (and we recommend RF to the MAX of whatever seat you get)

Join the group in my sig, and check out the reviews and conversations there...

(BTW, I have 2 MR's and LOVE them. I RF both my kids, one is 3 1/2 yo, the other is 1 1/2 yo)

They're all "SAFE'- they have to meet (and some exceed) testing standards.

If budget is NO issue, get the TrueFit Premier. It has ARB, and will last a while, as it has a pretty tall shell. It has lots of neat gadgets too like the outer harness adjust...
