I did an accident where a mom and a teen were killed (front seat) and the toddler (in the back seat) was basically unharmed due to a 40ish mph rear end impact. Car seat saved the toddler.

Yikes.

So are these more difficult than installing the base? We had the FD check that, and I went through the "Baby's first Ride" - and I feel pretty good about moving and securing those.

I guess I'm not even positive if I need a convertible or all-in-one / 3:1.
