Car seat, shmar sheat... ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Car seats are the bane of my existence as of right now!!!!!! If I have to read one more review, research and compare seats and prices on one more website, read safety reviews one more minute.... ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I've been researching for hours, days, weeks.... (no lie!) and I can't come to a decision to save my life! To each their own, I say- you are not going to find a product that has no negative reviews. Even the highest rated car seats have their cons- or at least they are cons to the reviewer. What may be a con to them, may not bother you one bit. It is deciding the difference that is the problem. Isabel is so long... she is already outgrowing her infant carrier car seat, so now I'm shopping for a convertible one, so that she can still be rear-facing for as long as possible (or until she outgrows that too!) There are so many types and styles of convertible car seats, but I am definitely looking for one that will allow her to use the 5-point harness for longer than until she weighs 40 pounds or is too tall to be able to safely wear the harness at the highest setting anymore, and will have to use the cars seatbelt for the booster aspect of the seat. An ideal one would allow until at least 50-65 pounds forward facing in the harness, instead of most of them wanting you to switch to using as booster with seatbelt by 40 pounds. The safer you want your child, the more costly it is! But I knew that going in. Isn't it sad that those on a limited budget have to sacrifice safety features for the lower price they can only afford...? Well I refuse to sacrifice, so will continue searching for the best and reasonable price without sacrificing the safety features I'm looking for. Anyone know any good websites?
