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.

Why can't car seats be more user friendly. Using the instructions, I could not tighten the belt enough to secure this car seat in my back seat. I had to get daddy (who ended up adding my seat belt) in order to tighten and secure it in the back seat. Now I'm afraid if I have to remove it, I will not be able to reinstall it. No wonder they are not installed properly. Maybe this is why it was on sale!

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.

Seems comfortable but lacks a sunshade or anywhere to attach one

The buckles feel cheap and my child was able to loosen the seat belt by pushing foward.

Great car seat my daughter loves it

I wish it held the babies head up better

Easy install, toddler is comfortable, at least no crying while she’s seated

Nice car seat for the price
