Best car seat/travel system chicco 30 cortina vs britax chaperone?
Ive narrowed my 2 choices down to either the chicco keyfit 30 cortina travel system or the Britax chaperone with the soon-to-be-available matching stroller. Does anyone have any saftey links for these (car seat) or a head to head comparison? Any thoughts on which one is better and why? Any issues with either? Our kiddo isnt due til January so i have time to shop and compare, just trying to get a jump on it. Thanks!
I was hoping for a "consumer review" or crash test type review on these, as well as people’s experience with either travel system.

Here below you will find some information about both car seats for your review:
1) Britax Chaperone Carrier, Savannah

Pros:
-Safety features such as anti-rebound bar & side impact protection. If you’re trying to compare apples to apples, this is where Britax sets themselves apart.
-Quality construction/materials like a Peg Perego and better quality than Chicco KeyFit 30 or Graco SafeSeat/SnugRide product. The difference is attention to detail & density or significance of materials used. The LATCH mechanism on my Chaperone v. SafeSeat is a prime example. Same function, nicer mechanism. Another example would be the strap required to cinch down the base. Nicely thought out with a loop to pull on.
-Oversized sun shade
-Fashionable and soft yet sturdy appearing fabrics (we’ll see how they hold up). Replacements are available & registering your seat online is supposed to yield a 40% coupon off replacement parts. The coupon email is supposed to come up to a few weeks after submitting online registration.

I have the Chicco Keyfit 30, and love it. It was so easy to install and it works great. The stroller is nice as well. The carseat will not fit into the baskets of shopping carts, but NO CARSEAT should be in a shopping cart basket although many mother do it anyway.
