S.B
I am due in november and I want to know what is the best CONVERTIBLE car seat for babies and what are the best bottles to use. I plan to breast feed but just in case if it does not work i will put him on formula. Thanks for the help.

I had the Graco Quattro Tour travel system and loved it. The stroller was great and the infant carrier carseat was really good too. The stroller was easy to fold, easy to lift and put into the car. The storage basket was great becuase it went down so that you can reach items in it while the baby was in the stroller. FYI - if the baby is in the carseat, and the carseat is in the stroller, you will not be able to access the storage basket unless it comes down. I LOVED this feature of the stroller. The carseat has a base, it uses latch if you have a newer car. It also is able to be used without the base, with a seatbelt alone. Most are this way. You will require an infant carrier carseat for the first few months before you can use a convertibe carseat.
As far as the convertible carseat goes, I LOVE the Britax Marathon. I got it when my older son outgrew the infant carrier. He used it until he was 2 1/2 (when my 2nd son outgrew his infant carrier) and my youngest got the Britax Marathon and I purchased a Britax Regent for the older one. We love the seat because of their safety rating and the kids love them because they are comfortable. They are a bit wider then most carseats, and they do cost more, but when it comes to the saftely of your children... is it worth spending a little more? I thought so.
As far as the bottles go... I LOVED the playtex bottles with the drop in liners (not the bags). This made preparing the bottle and cleaning them soooo much easier. Doesn't seem like a big deal now, but when your'e washing bottle after bottle, it helps. Just stock up on a bunch of nipples - and you're golden ;) I breast feed and used formula. I had NO problems with either child switching between the two. Could be that the nipple is more like the real thing. I don't know. They also had less gas because you push all the air out of the bottle by pressing on the liner. Pretty innovative if you ask me. But the important thing to remember is the nipple. It has to be as close to yours as possible. And make sure you make the baby latch ontothe bottle just as he/she would latch onto you. This makes going back and forth effortless.
Anyway, I found that they carry all of these items on Amazon. You can even shop around with Amazon with a bunch of their affiliated merchants. I like that because it saves me time price comparison shopping. Anyway, I also found this link for a giftcard for Amazon... Any little bit helps - childrens' items cost so much these days.
Hope this helps, sorry it's so long ;)

consumersearch.com pulls customer reviews from all kinds of sites like eBay and Amazon and then rates the product in a few categories - - like "best overall", "best on a budget", and so on.
For infant car seats, here is the link:

They say the Graco Snugride is best. Chicco is a runner up further down the page. You can read more about Chicco by clicking on their link.
They also have a page for convertible car seats if you're interested.
Best wishes! :)
