Car seats

Ok, so the first car seat I ever had was the one with the straight handle...I don't know if I want to get the same kind or the one with the turned handle. SO if you've had both, I could really use your opinions, which one is easier to carry? Which one did you like best? I'm listing two links to pictures so you can see what I mean, if you don't get what I'm talking about....

Straight handle~~~http://infantscarseats.      net/top-infant-car      -seat-features/

Turned handle~~~http://www.infant-car-     seat-reviews.com/Evenflo       -Car-Seats.html     The pink one on this link shows the clearest picture with the color difference.

Ivy, I don't know if there was a price difference, just seeing how many more people thought the turned handle was better than the straight handle to see if it is a little more expensive if it would be worth it to buy.

I voted both were the same.  I found both of them equally as hard to find a good carrying position.

My aunt has a turned handle and I bought a straight handle. I didn't see that much of a difference in them mainly because I find all infant carriers to be awkward and uncomfortable to carry.

my SIL has the turned handle on hers and I find it a LOT easier...but both of my kids have been in straight-handle and just fine. :)...so if it's cheaper/easier, the straight handle works...but if you have a choice for the same price I'd say go with the turned!

I have had both types and prefer the turned handle. For me personally i thought it was easier to carry and lift out of the car. I like how i could carry it and still have my arm straight down to my side in a normal position. The straight handle i always had to turn my arm upside down almost and it hurt my wrist to bend like that. I hope this helps you out some!
