Shopping with Car Seat

I am a new mom who has the Chicco travel system.

The Best Booster Seat

I don't know if we should go with the five point system, like he has now or to go with one that uses the seatbelt to strap him in, like he'll have to get used to in the future. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Need to Purchase a New Car seat...what Do You Suggest?

My baby, Emma, is no longer a baby and we are getting ready to make the transition from infant carrier to "big girl" car seat. I'm overwhelmed with all the choices and I understand that the most expensive does not always mean it is the best or the safest. I'm looking for suggestions...Which car seat do you prefer? If you were buying a new car seat today, which one would you get? Thanks for your help!!
