Hello all I am so glad I found this site first of all, now I hope yall can help.
I am in the need a convertible seat for my son who is 3 months and 26 inches and 15.5 lbs as of a week ago. I have a 05 f-350 crew cab so space is more than plenty in my truck. I am mostly into a seat that will hold my guy safe and snug. Up here in Alaska the roads are more than rough compared to the average. I am wanting to get a Britax after reading all the great reviews and all the raves from the other firefighter wives. I have looked at the Roundabout, Marathon, and Decathlon. I really dont want his lil head to be floping down on his chest or bouncing around while Im driving all around. Any info would be a huge help. Also my hubby has a 06 f-250 extended cab any ideas on what one would be best for his truck? Thank you again
