We have been using this seat since my daughter was 7 months old. She is currently 16 months, 32 inches, and 27 pounds, happily rear facing until we reach the limits! Using recline 3 was a bit crowded but now that we are using recline 2 my 6' husband has plenty of room to drive our 2002 Kia Spectra comfortably. The only issue I have come across is when I used this seat for a friend's daughter who is in a booster. The top tether is a few inches from reaching the top tether anchor. I blame my vehicle for this, considering this is not the first seat (different brand) that the tether strap would not reach the anchor. Cleaning is super easy and it's a bonus that this seat allows SOME time in the dryer, compared to ones that only allow drip drying. As long as you read the manual front to back you shouldn't have any issues. If so, there are plenty of forums and websites to assist you!

For the price of this car seat it isn't bad and is a good, safe option. My son is comfortable in it and has never complained. However, loosening and tightening the straps is extremely difficult, it is not smooth at all. I really have to tug to tighten and loosen and it takes more time than it should to get him in and out of the seat because of this. Installing does take more time than other car seats that we have, but its not too much of an issue for me because we rarely take the seat of out the car. But if you switch cars a lot it could be annoying.

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.

This car seat is really nice and good quality but it is SO HARD to get it tight enough. Apparently a few people have had this problem with this specific car seat. I thought maybe it was me being a first time mom, but i had multiple people including a fire department that wasn't able to get it tight enough either. Eventually , we were able to fix this but it really was a pain.

. I was able to install it very easily and quickly, without a second try it was very secure and it didn't move. Love the fact that you can recline it in different positions. We went for a road trip four hours away and my 10 month old baby was very comfortable in it. The 2 cup holders will be very good for her later, but they are already helpful to me to put her bottle, snack cup, pacifier or even her headbands when they fall off. It is just helpful to have things handy and not rolling around in the car. I love that the back of the seat is higher than her head. It also has extra cushion that you can eliminate later when your child is bigger. And besides all that it's very stylish. . It's been approximately a month now that we have been consistently using this product and my husband and I are quite satisfied.

This was a gift to my son from his grandma. It was an alright car seat. I liked the design, nice colors. My son loved it. The thing we do not love, is the fact that he hates riding in the car now because every single time we make a turn his car seat will slide. I've tried switching the seat place we use for his car seat. Slides down every time. I know it's not our seat belts that don't work, my daughter has a different brand of car seat and we have never had an issue with her car seat sliding at all. It just sits, and looks weird, when in my husbands truck.

My first impression once I received the car seat was that it looked really nice. I loved the design of the adjustable headrest and the fabric was extremely soft. I loved that it came with 2 cup holders that removed easily for cleaning and a cushion around the crotch buckle. I also liked that it could transition with your child as they grow. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and a 6 year old. I tried this car seat in rear facing mode for my youngest and as a booster seat for my oldest. Installing rear facing was more difficult than other seats I've used over the years. Even though the seat came with extras, it lacked other features that I consider must haves like bubble levels on both sides and click Latch hooks. The level on this car seat was just a stripe raised on the plastic and only had information on how to level it for an infant. I was left nervous on if the car seat placement was safely installed for my 1 year old. The latch hooks were easy to click into the car but extremely difficult to unhook. It would be very difficult if this seat was needed to be moved into different vehicles regularly. I also found it very difficult to get a tight enough install. No matter how hard I pressed down, bearing all my weight while pulling on the strap, I could not get the seat to stay tight. I also used the seat in booster mode. Unfortunately my daughter found the seat to be very uncomfortable and we could not figure out how to keep the shoulder strap properly placed into the strap slot. The seat didn't seem to fit the best in the back of my caravan and it was difficult for my daughter to buckle herself into it. Overall, I thought the seat was just okay. My favorite feature was the ease in which you can adjust the harness height, but even with that great feature, I wouldn't recommend this seat to any of my friends. I feel like there are better options out there in the same price range. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat.

I love this carseat an so do all of my children. I have 4 kids ranging between 1 and 6. This carseat not only looks nice, it also grows with your kid. I tried this seat with my kids and each of them said it was very comfortable and I loved how easy it was to install and adjust for each child. I plan to purchase 3 more of these Safety 1st carseats. I am very impressed. my favorite part of this seat is the headrest adjusting handles and how light it is. I received this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel.

This seat is amazing except for the simple fact that we can't get the harness straps to tighten as they need to be. It takes my body builder husband nearly all his weight to pull the straps to get it to tighten hardly at all. We try to avoid using this seat for that reason only. I'm hoping as our daughter grows into a larger toddler and into childhood that the seat might work better for us.

This carseat must have been created by a busy parent with their hands full. The strap holders are a sanity keeper and the cup holders are perfect! Thank you for creating the perfect all in one carseat!
