After doing extensive research for our son, I purchased the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible Car Seat.  I had two main reasons... safety and price.  I should tell you, I never skimp when it comes to my kids.  I make all my own baby food, they eat organic, they where the shoes that are best for growing feet, etc.  Even if my husband and I have to do without a few things... we make sure our sons get the best.

So after doing the research I learned that Fisher Price and Britax are all the same company.  And when looking at the Britax car seats and the Fisher Price car seats... you can immediately tell it is from the same manufacturer.  (I did confirm this from several sites online.)

The great thing is that the Fisher Price Safe Voyage seat is $109 on albeebaby.com (and this is one of the only places you can purchase this seat).  It is for 5-55 pounds, is gender neutral in color, has a 4 position harness, has EPS foam, a 5-point harness system and is very easy to install and use.  And... albeebaby.com has free shipping for any item $100 or more!  All that, and knowing that it is the same seat (basically) as the amazing Britax seats... I was sold!  I even consulted with a friend who's husband works in carseat testing for the government.  She has a Britax and a Fisher Price Safe Voyage.

I have never doubted my choice and tell anyone and everyone this is the seat to buy.

Hi, i am very grateful for your review because it is the only most recent one i have found....every other review has been of 2006 or 2007. i was really interested in buying this seat....but was told britax stopped making them a long time ago. So i was wondering if it was still okay to buy it. Do u still get that 1 yrs warranty on it, Just incase something were t go wrong with it?? I tried to call both companys but neither could give me a straight answer about the car seat...which made be a bit skeptical and hesitant. Thanks
