I do not like the buckle in this car seat, it is a giant pain to get it to go together, I hated the clips and how you had to put them together before you slide them into the holster, scared to pinch Oct 25, 2021

I really didnt like this carseat. The handle always got stuck. Only I knew how to move it. And it woukd get stuck to the base on occasion. Wouldn't recommend. Only upside was the triangle handle. Jun 10, 2021

We've used these with all 3 of our kids because the grandparents had the bases. Not my favorite, but ok. It has a higher minimum weight/height than others, but that was ok for my giant babies. Jan 25, 2021

Used this with my 3rd child. Didn’t love it. Handle was always loose. Padding was not great. The seat got stuck in the base a lot. Apr 26, 2020

Great car seat super light weight and has an adjustable base to get the right incline angle in the car. Easy instal and super easy to clean also can be bought as a travel system Jul 06, 2019

Used for both babies and found it very easy to use. I liked the triangle handle. Some say it doesn't fit newborns well but mine were both over 8lbs and didn't have any problems. Puzzle style buckle. Mar 17, 2019

This car seat seems to be a tad smaller than other infant car seats. I ended up buying a bigger different one when my daughter looked squished at about 6 months. Triangle handle hard to hold. Jan 17, 2019

I don't hate this carseat. It works as intended and I feel like my infant is very safe in it. The only thing I absolutely hate about Baby Trend is that their products are not compatible to others. Jul 13, 2018

This care seat is the one to have! It is simple to clean and adjust. The base is also easy to adjust to the perfect level for any vehicle! I would definitely recommend this product. Jun 05, 2018

The bottom buckle is odd as you've got to have both pieces together to fasten it. The handle is neat because it gives you 3 different places to hold. Apr 28, 2018

This is a good car seat. Not the best, but does the job. The fabric is nice and soft. Mar 21, 2018

I had this seat with my first, didn't like it. The chest clip broke just from my toddler playing with it (no car accident). And the straps started to not tighten evenly, no matter what I tried. Feb 16, 2018

Super hard to get the seatbelt and latch system through the base hard to adjust Dec 22, 2017

I don't love the way it fastens at the bottom both straps have to hook at the same time but love the handle! Oct 19, 2017

We bought this because it was one of the more inexpensive seats, but it was pretty difficult to get the angle right and be sure it was installed correctly. Oct 19, 2017

I bought this 5 months ago to fit in our double stroller and love it. Oct 18, 2017

Love the handle it makes it easier to carry, but it is a little heavy than some other ones. Oct 07, 2017

This seat is awful. The lowest harness level is too tall to correctly fit most newborns. The straps are always giving me issues and the plastic buckle is a pain. The crotch strap is impossible to move Jan 06, 2017

Straps have to be retightened each time baby is put in and the handle is very hard to move. Does its job. Oct 04, 2016

I haven't been able to use this yet however just from opening the box I love it already. The car-seat is plush almost like memory foam and its super light. I debated buying this but don't regret it! Sep 01, 2016

I like it but it is too tsmall for my 9 month old. She seems uncomfortable! May 13, 2016

Great car seat. Got me through 2 kids. My 7 month old is using it now. Was great for bringing a preemie home. Feb 24, 2016
I really rather like my Baby Trend car seat. I can't remember which exact one I have, but it is a Flex Lock in the Catalina Ice pattern. It serves its purpose well for a good price Bought at Toys R Us Jan 29, 2016

The buttons to make the arm carrier go down ALWAYS gets stuck. The straps are always getting twisted and and never the same length when being tightened. The car seat is better for smaller babies. Jan 17, 2016

Nothing fancy. We love that the large canopy can move forward so it provides shade at any angle. Hubs loves the triangular handle, though I lack the upper body strength to hold any seat one-handed. Nov 28, 2015

Did what it needed to...keep a newborn safe but when you have a mobile lightweight baby with fully functioning moving arms, the shade can break off pretty quickly. Dec 04, 2014

Worst car seat ever! It does what it needs to do but they were hard to install in our cars (getting level) and they are cumbersome to snap together. DO NOT BUY! Oct 06, 2014

The shoulder straps do not lower enough to be at or below baby’s shoulders especially as a newborn. My daughter was a few weeks old by the time she correctly fit in it. Wouldn’t buy this again Dec 01, 2017

This is a cute seat, but the base didn't stay at the height it was clicked to. It would click down as we were driving. The seat is heavy & my husband hated the handle. Aug 30, 2017

Had this carseat with my first. Her being a winter baby the bottom feet cover helped keep her warm. It was a great carseat although it is heavier compared to the one I have now. Aug 28, 2017

After 2 months of use the straps became frayed which is unsafe, I called the company and they sent me more. Again, the straps became frayed and I just switched to a diono instead. Mar 03, 2017

Didn't have enough crotch buckle position options and my cloth diapered, chubby baby had to get a new seat at 4 months old :/ Dec 01, 2016

Comfy, basic and lightweight. It worked exactly what we needed it to for both children. The handle is really nice compared to straight handles, b/c you can grab it from any angle. Nov 16, 2016

Love that it connects to the stroller well. The handle is helpful. Really don't like how much baby sits up in the seat, some other seats have them reclining much more. Mar 24, 2016

Good car seat! My son looks comfortable in it and it's not bulky. It fits in carts well too, the handle is a little awkward with a carseat canopy but it's not too bad Mar 03, 2016

Best car seat I have owned hands down! From the ease of instillation, soft grip handle to the placement of the release button this seat is the best. Jan 26, 2016
