Britax Companion —
I wasn't going to get a bucket seat this time around and was going to go straight to a convertible seat. But as my due date approached and we didn't have the cash for the seat we planned on, we decided to buy the Companion used from a friend. I liked that it worked as a travel system with the Britax Preview stroller which we already owned. I don't use this option often, preferring to keep my baby with me in a sling. However I have used the seat on the stroller a few times when he was sleeping and I didn't want to disturb him. In general I try not to detach the seat from the base though. It's heavy! I know that's because of the quality materials it's made of though so I'm not going to complain. The head cushion is well padded and the straps are secure as well as adjustable to keep a safe snug fit. You adjust the straps using a ratchet system so it adjusts easily each time. You can loosen it completely to get baby in comfortably then tighten by pulling the strap at the base to get a snug fit. The anti-rebound bar is an important safety feature that other infant seats typically do not have. You can purchase an additional base separately to keep in a second vehicle so as to only switch the seat between the two vehicles.
