So I'm asking for help.
If I had all the money in the world this is probably what I would buy:
It is the brand of his infant seat, has lots of reclining options for car sleeping (thinking upcoming road trip) and it looks like it's from a space ship.
But, I don't have all the money in the world. If I had a little bit more than I do, I'd probably buy this one:
britax-convertible-car-seat-marathon-classic
It's not fancy, but it's the brand everyone trusts. But it's pretty pricey. So I've found it's cheaper little brother, this is a real option.
Option 1:
http://www.amazon.com/Britax-Roundabout-Convertible-Seat-Onyx/dp/B00834D5PC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Reviews are not as stellar, things like the cover doesn't stay on, and the foam isn't as cushy, but it's a good brand. Sigh.
Option 2:
It has great safety ratings and a video that made me cry, really.
Option 3:
This looks like a giant infant seat, but has great safety and comfort reviews. The negative is that you can only recline it by installing it differently, I don't think I like that.
Option 4:
This has great reviews, and some bad ones. So I don't know.
So that's the dilemma, if you'd all resolve it that would be great.

Being a babysitter that moves a cars eat several times a day, make weight one of your considerations!
we just used "regular" car seats--nothing fancy or reviewed ever. So i'm no help. (All our kids are also shockingly still alive) ;)
however, i AM with belinda on weight-the girl i nanny for had a carseat that weighs a MILLION pounds (at least)--and it was a B**CH to move.
really really awful! so i agree, go lift them and see what you think too.
I always buy the cheapest one because that's my budget. I also rarely change levels even when they're options because it takes too muh work when your hands are full.
I've had both the Roundabout and the Marathon and have liked them both. They're easy to install, it's easy to remove the cover for cleaning (not that I do), and they recline a bit, which I like. I also like that they are a bit taller than some carseats, so my kids can see out the window. But Dor is right, they're probably all safe. It's really a matter of which one fits your car the best and how easy they are to install/move. Oh, and how much they look like they came from a spaceship. Buy the Chicco. It's cool.
I've always just bought whatever seat matches the interior of my car.
So, don't ask my advice.
