Wanting to move my little girl to a convertable car seat that goes over 40lbs. any suggestions? I've always heard the Britax were the safest, best car seats to buy. Any pro's/con's of this or any other brand. First time mom here, so I don't want to get hosed if I'm gonna spend $300+, ya know?!?! Thanks.
We have 2 Britax Boulevards. They are very safe. My theory is what is money compared to the safety of my baby. You will here plenty of people say, "buy the $50 one from Walmart, it meets government safety standards..." Well, there is a difference between meeting standards and exceeding them. I want the safest money can buy. Just my humble opinion...

Britax is the best! We have one for each of our cars. Well worth the money! If you range out how long you will use the carseat, it's not that expensive for the peace of mind it gives you.
Babies R Us has 20% off coupons occasionally which you can use on carseats.
A.,
I highly recommend Britax. It is pricey but so worth it!
Good luck!
We have one I bought it on ebay and saved about $100. Love it!
LOVE it- is the best!! Well worth the money!
I also love our Britax. I had a 15% off coupon for Babies R Us and I used it for the carseat. We got our son's when he turned a year. He didn't need toys, or anything else really, so we asked both sets of grandparents to chip in whatever they wanted towards a new carseat. They loved being able to help get him something he really needed for a birthday gift. It was a great way for us to save money and not have a million more toys around the house!
We have the boulevard and love it! It is a very serious car seat, and we feel our daughter is very well protected. We got our's at the Albee Baby website. It was a priced a bit better there than Babies 'R Us. I had just heard from a friend last week that Target had a promotion going on on the Marathon. You might check their website. I am not sure if it was a one week kind of thing or not..
We have the Boulevard and love it. My son was able to stay rear facing until he was almost two because he was so happy in it. Check out www.albeebaby.com and www.elitecarseats.com for great prices. I have used both sites and was very happy with them.
Love the Britax but we have the Marathon. I suggest you buy on Target.com and look for a coupon code. You can normally find one on dealcoupons.com for 15%
Yes, we have the Boulevard. My son is almost 11 months and he's been in it for at least 2 months now (facing backwards). I feel like he is in his own safety bubble back there. I got mine for about $270 or so with free shipping from a website associated with Amazon.com. I think it was baby age.com
I have 2 friends (one with twins) and they both highly recommended the seat to me.
Just take a few weeks to search around on the internet to get the best deal. You have plenty of time if your daughter is only 4.5 months.
