Britax Marathon — 

We purchased the Britax Marathon Car Seat when our daughter was 6 months old, and used it until she was 3 and a half. We now use it for our second daughter (10 months old) and I would highly recommend it.  I consider myself to be a budget conscious shopper, but a safe car seat was something I was not willing to compromise on.  Britax is a trusted brand, and I believe they make the safest car seats out there.  In addition to safety, it is really comfortabe for the baby in both the rear and front facing position. This has made road trips easy for us, as it is easy for the baby to sleep in this seat. 

It is also really easy to install with the latch system (which now comes as a requirement in every car.) The straps just click right in the latch, and you're ready to so. This car seat can work from infancy well into the preschool years.  I know the Britax seats seem pricey at the outset, but this is definately one you will get every penny out of.
