Jen500 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I need to buy ds3 a new car seat, but I can't find any car seat test crash ratings. Does anyone know of any website? I'm trying to compare different seats-the Britax Frontier vs. Radian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie in tx Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm not sure that the crash test ratings are wonderful, depending on who does them. I found this site to have some excellent information about crash testing of seats. We just got the Radian and I like it very much because it is narrow. I don't like that when my dd falls asleep in it that her head flops. If we had the rooms, I probably would have purchased the Frontier. Graco is also making a decent seat that is a little less expensive that the Frontier and the Radian. It's called the Graco Nautilus. I think it's worth looking at if you don't have concerns about width in your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find a local store that actually carries these seats, so I could look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Go to car-seat.org forum. Those people know everything about car seats! They will point you in the right direction as far as sites with ratings. They will also help you decide which seat to get based on your vehicle, your child, and budget. Tons and tons of info.

susie in tx Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Is there a link? Yep. I forgot. http://www.car-safety.org/guide.html I'll check out the Nautilus, thanks. I wish I could find a local store that actually carries these seats, so I could look at them. Target carries the Nautilus. Do you have a Toys R Us? They sometimes have the Britax seats. I only found the Radian at a specialty store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
