my husband and i have tried every way it show to put this car seat in the car and it just doesn't seem to strap down tight enough. It says the top should not move more than 1-2 inches and I feel like if we pushed it, it would just fling off. I'm not sure if this is user error or what but we've tried both ways and it still just doesn't make me feel like it's very secure and safe... Please help if you have any tips...

WORST thing you could buy ever even when installed the right way there is still so much slack and movement with the seat even if the child is IN THE ACTUAL SEAT! buckled in and everything there is still movement. I used this for one trip not even that far from my house maybe 30 minutes and that was it I had to put the seat belt over the car seat to try to stop it from moving or worse falling over with my child in the seat. I was terrified . I immediately filed for a rerun online and Sam's club so called customer service didn't help much besides annoying me every single day . I scheduled a pickup for the return so I didn't have to go back out and drop it off and I kept getting calls about the pickup that was ALREADY SCHEDULED . Every few hours. Talk about horrible service. I don't see how this is allowed to be sold and Sam's service needs to get some serious help. If you value your child's life DO NOT but this garbage! buy ANYTHING ELSE! Avoid this seat I could not beg you enough to do so

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

Great seat. My granddaughter is big for her age-not fat. We needed a seat that would grow with her. She likes this seat too. She is six month's old. We bought 3 so we wouldn't have to transfer aeat and child and with the great price we could. Highly recommended

This is a great car seat for a toddler. After having trouble positioning as a rear facing seat, I researched and found that crash testing for this seat scored 2 out of 5 for rear facing. It also doesn’t take into account that a young child will inevitably fall asleep while riding. There isn’t enough recline position in this seat for an infant to sleep safely. My son is 10 months old so this seat will be used only as forward facing when he turns one.

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."

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.

It's built well. I did have an issue with it being delivered in an open box with no plastic protection so it got wet in the rain. So it would probably be better as a pick up item. When it's in rear facing, it tips over. (I have a 2019 Ford fiesta) and I've seen other people write the same thing. I'm going to continue to try and fiddle with it to get it to stay, but as of now it's probably just best as forward facing. It's very nice to look at and it's soft material.

I liked that it could grow with the baby, but...It doesn't convert to a carrier. I didn't realize this when purchasing. Secondly, it was difficult to install in the car, but we got it done. Unfortunately, the hospital staff wouldn't let the baby leave in the carseat because the straps wouldn't tighten enough on the baby's chest to deem it safe. The seat was returned.

Very nice car seat. Child is secure. Has extra cushions for comfort and holders on the side to hold the straps so they are not in the way as you take your child out and put them in. I like that you can adjust for growth with one hand and do not have to take the seat apart. I love this car seat! Great price also.
