Both Consumer Reports and The Bump have the Chicco NextFit Zip as the highest rated car seat, but I can’t find it to buy from any reputable site.
Is this just because it’s sold out? Any recommendations for a similarly highly rated car seat, around $300? We need one ASAP because our infant car seat sucks.

I don't believe it was recalled. Are the rotating car seats just taking over?
Hi all! We’re a one car household and don’t do a ton of driving but occasionally have longer trips. We drive an SUV and upgrading to a minivan is not an option for a myriad of reasons, most of which are $$.
We installed Diono Radians for our twins which were very difficult to get in. I honestly do not think the harness is ever tight enough on the babies and also they clearly dislike the seats as displayed by the never-ending meltdown every time they’re in the seats. (They’ll become our backup seats for them in Grandma’s car)
These are very much the only kids for us, so no concern for 3 across and no real need to free up a seat in the back. I’m looking to find better seats for the tiny monsters. Husband and I are not particularly tall, but also not short and need some legroom up front. Dionos with the angle adjuster gave us more than enough, for an FYI.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to Graco Extend2Fit and Chicco Nextfit - has anyone used these? Or have a better recommendation? And I fully understand that the general consensus is minivan, but truly it’s not in our budget cards.
