Difficult to install, the straps are so hard to tighten. Definitely not secure enough. Whoever designed this car seat definitely does not have any kids. We had the nuna car seat and it was so simple and easy to take in and out of cars so this one sucks

This car seat is extremely difficult to tighten and seems cheap. I mean you can't even add an actual level. It is cheap to add a level but to save money they didn't. The latch straps are not even attached to the seat and they are just big metal hooks. This has to be the cheapest construction. The seat never seems tight enough unless you rip on the strap as hard as you can and jiggle the seat and stand at a certain angle. This seat is horrible compared to my graco.

My daughter has been in this seat for 2.5 years. It's comfortable, smooth and soft. She likes sitting in it. She likes the cup holders. The fabrics still look brand new, and I've removed and washed them several times. I'm not sure why people are saying it's hard to install, we've used several different seats in the past for my older kids and they al install the same way. Not exactly easy, but no harder than any other seat I've used!

I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I also currently own 2 of an older version of this same seat (3 years and counting, currently still in use). I really like that it can grow with my child- it reduces the $ you have to spend over time, it reduces waste/clutter of extra car seats being around, and also bridges the awkward gap between an infant 'bucket' seat and a standard car seat. My kids (2 and 5 yo) both found this seat to be comfortable- the extra padding on the upper buckles and the bottom harness point reduced any pinch points for them. The head rest portion is robust and keeps them nicely confined without being uncomfortable. The cup holders are indispensable for keeping snacks and activities contained. My favorite feature of this car seat is how easy it is to adjust the upper strap height- you pull the levers and push it up or down super easily, you can even do it with the kid in the seat. The seat covers are also really easy to take on and off (without removing the seat) and wash really well over time. My largest complaint about this seat is that tightening the straps over time becomes really hard. The interaction between the belt and the belt path starts to become not 'smooth acting' and you have to use a great deal of force to get it tight. Additionally, there is a seat setting at which one of the anchor buckles on the bottom hits a curved part of the seat and it is nearly impossible to tighten the seat without physically using one hand to guide the belt in the back and the other to tighten it down in the front- which is fine if the car seat is rear facing, but when it is forward facing you can't get your hand behind the seat to 'help' it. As mentioned, we have had 2 of this seat for over 3 years- and it has happened to both seats. The updates in the newer version of this seat are mostly an improved manual and easier to read/understand installation instructions- very much appreciated!

The Safety 1st Grow and Go convertible all in one car seat is incredibly lightweight and easy to adjust. The different recline options for rear facing help keep my 2 year old comfy in his seat and the back rest is also adjustable to get the right fit. Having removable cup holders is also a huge plus. It makes it so easy to keep them clean. This car seat is very light weight it makes switching cars a breeze. Although the strap covers are nice and soft it's a little tough to get the straps and chest clip in the right spot. They come off easily though and the straps are still comfortable enough without the covers. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this seat to review.

My son has this car seat in red Mickey Mouse of course and I absolutely love it and he does as well. It actually is the second car seat that we have bought the first one got damaged so we went back and bought another one and the damage was something that's on us not them and now we are pregnant and expecting a girl and we are most definitely buying the pink one. I would recommend this for any child is good for brand new babies up to coddlers, if you don't got it, go get it cheap price, high quality, comfy, durable car seat and on top of everything is very easy to clean all the material comes right off, wash it put it back together, very easily assembled and take apart. Honestly, I could go on and on about this car seat so in my opinion, five stars go get it.

I have the original safety first grow and go for my 2.5 year old son! I love that seat and recommend it to everyone! So I bought one for my 7 month old daughter! I noticed the cup holders are so small so it won't fit any standard sippy cup. The belt path is like sticking your hand in a slicer. It seems bulkier than our old one. I'm sure it will just take some getting used to but with our third in the way and to be born in November I planned on buying that baby the same seat and now I'm iffy on it just because of the cup holders and belt path. Otherwise the seat is still awesome and super comfy!

Awful. Absolutely awful. The seat is incredibly hard to install without throwing your entire body weight into it, from over the passenger seat. I have a small car, so I can't stand up in my car to install it. The harness will NOT tighten or loosen easily. It is incredibly frustrating to gather the slack from behind the seat, to then pull the tail at the child's feet to tighten. When installed with the seat belt, the car seat tilts to one side, where the belt splits off into the shoulder belt and lap belt.

I live this seat it's easy to install and adjust. Only downside is rearfacing takes up alot of room. You need a roomy vehicle to put it in correctly. I have a Buick enclave and it fits fine but whatever seat it's behind has to be picked up a bit. We have it behind the passenger side and it's not to bad. Once we turned it around forward facing it's even better. So easy to adjust in hight. I live not having to take the whole thing apart just to adjust straps.

I bought this car seat when my daughter out grew her infant carrier, my daughter is very small. She fits very well in this seat. It's very well made. It is heavy but I don't carry the car seat around so it doesn't bother me. It very configurable for my child. I stalaion is easy depending on your vehicle. I drive a Dodge Journey and it was easy, once I moved the passenger seat forward some. It's easy to clean. I have never had any issues with the belt and making it tight. The only suggestion is make sure the straps are correctly installed on the back, or it can make it difficult to pull straps Tight. My daughters head did flop forward at first so we just declined her to stage three and it was no big deal. She is now 13 months and still faces backwards she has plenty of room. We also installed our seat with the anchors. Now with my car, it did take my husband and I at first to install Bc we couldn't get it right, truth be told we were not installing correctly, so once we watched a video on our model car it was very easy, and the seat was securely anchored right. I take safety very seriously and I would recommend this seat. A friend of mine was in an accident she had this seat in her car as well and it saved her sons life.
