We have the Britax Marathon convertible carseat. A little spendy but our favorite carseat of all of them.

I have a Sunshine kids Radian 65 convertable car seat. I liked it because it goes up to 65 lbs for one and a lot of people gave it a good rating. It is more narrow than other large car seats so you can fit more there. I actually just installed it today and it seems pretty solid. It will fold up and you can carry it like a shoulder bag, back pack, and handle bag, which is cool. Setting it up for rear facing was really easy. It was kinda pricey, but the way I look at it, is it will last many years and hopefully she will never need another seat.

I love my britax marathon.  I looked at the evenflo too,  it looks pretty nice.  But I opted for a seat made in the US instead of China.  My advice is to get a seat with a high weight limit so you don't have to buy a booster later, and one that has an easy to reach belt adjuster.

I have the Alpha Omega and a 2 door blazer, I really like the car seat, It took just minutes to install and my son seems to really like it a whole lot more than the infant seat. A few of my friends have the same one and they love it as well.
