What car seat do you use??

Getting Recaro Performance RIDE this week. My 6 month old is just a tad short of 30" and is squeezing into the Cybex Aton 2 I expected (hoped) to last a year. Love the Cybex, hope the Recaro is as easy to use. Amazon and Albee Baby seem to have the best prices with warranties.
I can imagine it'd be even worse in the IS-F. However, the seat does fit better when used front facing. But the tall base still makes entry/exit from the door a bit tougher than the Britax we have.
I prefer the Britax Marathon's size/fit in both the rear and front facing setting.

I have my mirrors positioned so there is no blind spot, but I do understand their height may be a bit challenging. At the same time, their height is part of what makes them safe. The MkIV Supra got exceptionally high safety ratings because the seatbacks are so high and provide more neck protection than is typically found in automobiles.
In all the reviews I read on the Recaro, no one mentioned the seats being hot or making the child sweat. Is this from personal experience?

Someone changed for an alternative seat due to their child getting hot in one review I read. They put it down to the material. Just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue.
Seems not.

I currently have two Graco Nautilus car seats in the back of my IS-F. I would highly recommend these as they are really sturdy, have tons of adjustments and the kids have been very comfortable in them over the years. It's also nice that you can remove the back and it becomes a booster seat when your child gets older.
Here's a pic of one of the Graco seats in the car when I was rocking the rear facing setup on the driver side. Thankfully the shoe marks on the back of the seat wipe right off. Oh, and I have the rare, but desirable IS-F - MINIVAN EDITION!

How big is that? My son is 6 months old, 20 lbs, and 30", so he's growing pretty fast. I'm expecting to get a few years out of the Recaro since it says up to 70 lbs (although the LATCH retainer isn't rated for 70 lbs).
