Britax Decathlon — 

I thoroughly reviewed convertible carseats before deciding to get the Britax Decathlon.  My sister had one and loved it, so this helped.  Plus the reviews online for this were great.  It's expensive though but since it lasts until your kid is about 6, I felt that even though it was a lot of money up front, it would be worth it.  Here is a tip as well...if you don't care about the color you can get this car seat for about $180.00 shipped.

I like this carseat.  I don't love it.  I'm very short and in order to get my daughter in this snuggly I have to crawl into my car to get leverage before I pull on the strap.  This is difficult for my parents to do as they aren't as limber.  The straps sometimes get a bit twisted when being pulled, so this makes it even more difficult.

Here's the good thing though, once she's in, I know she's in.  The carseat is not only rated really well, it feels safe.  My daughter seems to enjoy it and she's got plenty of room to grow.
