I would recommend this car seat 100 times over and then some. I was in a very serious car accident last week and both of my kids were in tue car. My son was in the safety first grow and go csr seat and came out with just a bump on his head, bruise on his neck, and a scratch THAT'S IT!! This car seat Helped save my sons life and I could not be happier!! Thank you to those who designed this seat, you have no clue how much I appreciate the way you made it. Any other seat i dont know if he would still be here. I added a pictures of my car to show what he went thru, it isn't pretty so beware!

I was lucky to receive this carseat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel for free in exchange for my honest review and truly the carseat is awesome! I love how easy it is to adjust the straps and headrest as well as angle of this seat. I love that you can use it through childhood because now I do not have to go buy another carseat for my little one. The safety features are great and my son loves this carseat. I installed it in about 3 minutes without trouble, the hardest part was adjusting the angle because I forgot to do it until I had it all secured in the car. The only reason I took off a star was because there's one piece that rattles and it drives my husband crazy but otherwise this carseat is awesome!

Wow, after having had 2 kids and being very disappointed with previous car seats, I can say that this car seat was everything I had been looking for in the past. As a parent, my main concern was making sure that this seat would protect my child at all costs, and it is doing that so far. I cannot rave enough.

My 7 month old definitely appreciates the fact that this car seat is more open and not as confined as his infant car seat! The cup holders are great distractions while on a car ride (i hide toys in there to keep him busy). It fits nicely in my Camry, which i was pleasantly surprised about! Only downside is that installation is a bit difficult! Im a fairly small girl and have small hands, but i still struggled to get the seatbelt through the hole to fasten the seat in!

My Daughter uses this seat daily and i loved that it was lightweight and the fabric was easy to clean. However when we cleaned the straps it's almost impossible to get them back to where they should be or even find a video since it clearly has no obvious path.

My toddler loves his new car seat; but installing it has been a pain in the butt. There is physically almost no room to maneuver your hand and the seatbelt to install the car seat. My somewhat small hand has gotten painfully stuck each time I have had to install the car seat, and/or switch vehicles. Overall though, the seat seems to be a well-made car seat and my son enjoys sitting and sleeping in it during car rides.

I bought this car seat for my daughter 14 month old, who's 27 pounds. My state law says they have to be 30 pounds to front face so I rear faced her which I planned to do anyway. No. Matter. What. We. Did. The car seat tips over when you turn. We tried and tried and read the manual over and over did everything the way it says and still. So for right now, I have to front face. Being three pounds shy isn't that big of a deal. She meets the hight requirement already but I'm pretty dissatisfied.

We have 2 cars but only had 1 car seat. I did a lot of investigating and chose maxi cosi. I was excited to receive this and see that it is nearly the same. It had the same great safety features and my toddler was comfortable in it. She liked the head rest better in the safety first than the dorel. They are basically the same car seat and I've yet to see why i spent more on the Maxi Cosi. I'd definitely recommend safety first in the future.

The installation is not easy. The lower anchor is difficult to unhook and it's not the easiest to tighten. I don't like that there is a decline line and not the bulb like other seats have. But it is sturdy and seems comfortable enough for my 9 month old. I am confident in the seat and if I had to buy it again I would despite the installation difficulty.

I received this seat from Stellar panel to review. I love that my son can use this from now all the way through a boaster seat. The seat seems very sturdy and also has lots of comfort features so Baby is comfortable in the car. Because it is sturdy it is also a little heavy. But it was also pretty easy to install which is a huge plus for any car seat. I love the plush lining for my son who used to hate driving in the car until this seat!
