Neither Graco Contender 65 nor Maxi-Cosi Pria 70 were recommended by experts this month

On 9 Apr 2024 (11 days ago) we went through 84 Convertible Car Seat expert endorsements , however neither Graco Contender 65 nor Maxi-Cosi Pria 70 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Convertible Car Seat received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Nuna RAVA or other critically acclaimed Convertible Car Seats of this month.

For reference, Nuna RAVA received 8 endorsements this month, from Best Products (10 Jan 2023), Good Housekeeping (26 May 2023) what to expect (15 Feb 2024) and 5 others.
