Which Baby Seat? Choices choices

With some big purchases coming up, I decided to sign up to Choice which does comparisons between various products and gives recommendations. It costs about $20 per month which if you are a keen comparer, it's money well spent. 

We are at the 21st week and we are looking at baby car restraints. I looked at the choice website to see what articles they had on child car seat restraints and came across a comparison of baby seats that I thought was exhaustive. Just look at the list!

  • Go Safe Cleo 4790
  • Infa-Secure Cosi-Safe 
  • Infa-Secure Style-Rider 
  • Infa-Secure Luxi Ride (designed for use as a rearward-facing restraint so can accommodate a newborn to a child eight years of

The amazing thing is that the restraint I was looking for on the list... is not there! It's the Safe-n-Sound Guardian which is on special at Target for $174. Can someone reply with what they think of it?
