Britax Decathlon — 

The Britax Decathalon car seat is very durable and extremely high quality as are all Britax products.  We used it as a second car seat for our first daughter and now our second daughter uses one.

It didn't work well in the very early days and we ended up getting a click-in rear facing seat for each girl until they were big enough to turn around and face foward.

The seat is definitely extremely comfortable and the 5 point harness system is the safest type on the market.  Our only trouble with the harness is that it is extremely difficult to loosen and tighten the straps using the button and pulling on the straps.  Also the straps twist very easily and can be very difficult to untangle.

For the heavy price tag, you could probably go for a different model of Britax or different brand.  I wouldn't buy this one again.

As, I said, this seat is extremely strurdy and durable and has lasted two kids, but shop around!
