We went with the Graco Nautilus. Converts from forward facing to full back booster to regular booster.

Like 120 bucks.

Fits pretty well.

That's what we went with as well. We have two installed and they work great.

and the Nautilus fits ok rear facing? As in, both passenger and driver seat don't have to sit forward with their knees in their chest?

Also, do you guys that run topless and or doorless with a baby seat worry it will get jacked (like when you park at the store or whatever public place)?

I have a four door but my wife and I both have this one:

It's convertable. Rear facing, front facing, and a booster seat. It's well padded also.

Bought it for my little boy two years ago when he was a new born and its a little pricey but money is no object because we all drive jeeps and get 10MPG... He/She is always worth it in the long run!

We run topless all the time and have never given it a second thought. Typically we just roll up the windows and lock the doors We do not run without the doors on though.

4 door but I don't see why the seat wouldn't work in a two door. We had Britex seats prior to these and these seats seem to have a smaller foot print.
