[blparent] Carseats for children 1 year-old or older?

[Dena Wainwright]

she asked what people would recommend. she didn't give a price range. 
besides, a convertible britax carseat is $290, and most decent strollers are 
around $100, so according to my math the sit 'n stroll still comes out 
cheaper. everyone has different financial circumstances, so just because 
something is expensive, does that mean it should just not be mentioned on 
this list?
