Difficult to install, hard to get tight enough. Also, easy to install incorrectly. A family member has the Spanish side facing the door, they did not see the rear facing belt path and put the belt through fwd facing belt path. I was able to correct. Note: manual states when installed rear facing it MUST touch the seat in front of it. This is the opposite of most other seats I've installed. My brother was not able to install seat securely in his vehicle. Seat was able to tip because his wife drives with the drivers seat too far forward for the seat to touch the seat in front of it. This seat has a lower weight limit for rear facing (only 40 lbs) compared to 50 lbs with many other seats.

It arrived in a brown box, not the actual box you buy in stores. It was just tossed in there with no packaging and not even a plastic bag or wrap to protect it. The tape on the outside was barely stuck on and it was partly opened when it arrived. Looks like it was used or just dirty because it wasn't sealed or protected

We purchased this as a second seat for hubby's car. I was pretty hesitant to purchase because I saw negative reviews stating people could not get the seat secured tight in their vehicle but realized those were the ONLY negative reviews. All other reviews were great & people seemed to love it. I decided to purchase & give it a try for the price & just planned to return if it didn't work. I'm so glad we did!!! It's a great seat! I had to do some serious tugging and push down on the seat while pulling the seatbelt, but it is secure & not moving. I'm thinking those who couldn't get it tight enough was maybe user error & not the seat. I'm not sure if some people also realize you're supposed to test for movement at the BASE, not the head area .. if you tug & pull at the top, it will move.. but that's normal. We like it a lot, she fits great in it & it looks comfy!!! My advice is get it!!! For the price, it's great .. try it & if it doesn't work for you then return it.

I see a lot of negative reviews about this seat not getting tight. Sad to say that is user error and should not be held against the car seat. Yes, it is hard to tighten when installing, especially alone. I had to sit on it while my husband pulled the tightening strap. However, this is the experience we’ve had with any seat or car seat base we’ve installed. So that said, we’re happy with it. Both kids seem comfortable (twins). I follow a page on Instagram called Safe In The Seat and that’s when I realized that my forward facing stage 2 car seat wasn’t ideal. This seat will last my kids quite a while until I’m comfortable flipping them forward The cup holders twist out for easy washing and the padded shoulder strap covers are nice and also removable for cleaning.

Great Car Seat! My daughter has gone through all of the stages of this car seat and it has been great. It has been easy to adjust and use and she never complains about comfort. We take several long road trips and she never complains about being in it. We ended up getting a second one for our other vehicle and then buying a 3rd one for Grandma and Grandpa's car. We all have different car types and it fits great in all 3.

I've installed many carseats over the years with 5 kids. After installing (rear-facing), I tested how far it could move. It moved about 4" on the first push (it should move no more than 1"), and with subsequent jostling it almost went horizontal to the point that the child's head would hit the car seat two spots over. I'm really disappointed with this product. This is the first car seat I've bought that I'll return for the reason of moving dangerously too much after being "secured."

Great price on a great seat.

Got this one as a gift. Very affordable and seems comfortable.

Great for an every now and then seat. Granddaughter is cozy and safe

This car seat will not get tight in the seat with seatbelt or provided strap
