New Car Seat

We finally made the big leap and graduated to a bigger car seat. Ryter is getting so heavy so it's completely impossible for me to carry him in his little car seat anymore plus his little feet were hanging out.  I knew it was pointless to have a car seat that would go up to 30 pounds.  How in the world would I ever carry him?  He's only 20 now and it's difficult. I think we're really going to love the new seat though.  I have some concerns about the sun still because my car just seems to be really bright.  I think it's a combination of the windows being really big and that they aren't tinted.  The sun is just relentless here and so he's always had a cover on his car seat during the day. Now without the overhead shade like the other car seat, there isn't really any way for me to continue covering him.  He'll like it much better because he'll get to look out the window plus he hated being covered anyway.  He's going to have to learn to wear sunglasses.

After much debate we decided on the Recaro ProRide.  It's nearly impossible to choose one without using it first. I know that after 11 months of using the Chicco KeyFit 30 that we have I wouldn't buy another one, but it's not because of anything I would have known or questioned when I was purchasing my first car seat ever.  This is sort of the same situation because I really only have reviews of other people and the advice of my friends.  I was immediately ready to purchase one of the Britax seats because of all of the good reviews.  Vain was involved in this purchase unlike the original seat though and he was really interested in the Recaro (I think it's because he wants to be a race car driver though). When I read about it people seemed to like it just as much as the Britax some swaying one way or the other.  So, considering many people recommended the Britax and others agreed that they were similar I didn't have a problem going with the Recaro.
