Britax versus Recaro versus EvenFlo Symphony

We bought a Britax marathon for one car and a Recaro Signo for our other car. The Recaro was a lot cheaper than the Britax. The quality is outstanding for the price. I think I paid $160 for the Recaro and $229 for the Britax.

At first, my husband liked the Recaro better. It is super plush. I have read reviews that the black and tan version can get hot in summer. I live in a hot city over summer and didn't own it during summer, so I can't comment if it is really hot.

Both the Britax and the Recaro are super sturdy.

Now, my husband likes the Britax a little better. He says it is easier to get the baby in it as the recaro is so plush that it is kinda hard to get the baby in. It isn't that hard though.

Whichever carseat you get, make sure you research it and know its quality. We had to get a bigger one since our son is very big for his age. His dad is big and tall, so that also helped us decide.

Oh, we also got an EvenFlo Symphony. It was a super good deal. It is our least favorite out of the three. It is safe, but I just don't like it. It is sturdy, but I don't like the latch. It also vibrates a little, but I think that has to do with the way my husband insalled it.

Similar ones to the three that we own:

Albeebaby and diapers.com usually have good prices on Britax.

Recaro Signo:

This one seems like it went up in price. It is nice, but I am not sure I would pay that much for it when the Britax is cheaper.

Evenflo Symphony:
I think this is similar to the one we have.
