I have the Eddie Bauer edition & I like it. It was around $80--but, GRACO has car seats out that look so much more comfortable & better-- that with my next one I think I'm going to get one of those. The snugride ones. I don't really think price has anything to do with how good they are. I just look at all the Safety features & make sure they have everything they need to have & if they do-- I'll get it or I'll get the cheaper one if it has all the same safety features.

Well we are currently looking for a second one to put in my partners car, and have been looking on ebay which is why I asked this question. I wanted to know what brands (cheaper) people had found safe and effective, as we are a little strapped for cash at the moment, but really need a second so hub can pick up bub from childcare of an evening once i start work.
Does the age of the carseat have any impact, or much of an impact, on its safety?

We're using Evenflo for our daughter's car seat. We bought it because it was in our price range and we didn't have much at that time. It's a pretty good car seat, it works just fine for us. So, yes I'd recommend it. I wouldn't know if price indicate that a car seat is good or not because we've bought a cheap one and it's good for us.

My sister and mum bbrought me a top of the range Fisher Price baby seat, it was like 300dollars on special or something. It was a baby shower present. Although I appreciate it, and think its fantastic, I personally would have bought a much cheaper car seat, as I have seen plenty that do the same job, for a smaller price.
