what parents are saying
I really liked this car seat. I like the cup holders and that it can grow with the kiddos. If there are any accidents or spills it can be very difficult to clean, especially the plastic under part. (Feb 23, 2020)

love it with my 3rd child bought one for my 4th and hopefully another on for my 5th when he gets older easy to move from different cars also. Jul 04, 2020

While I feel this seat keeps my child safe, my complaint is that my child (6yo) who sits in the 3rd row cannot unbuckle himself like he can in other seats.The release for the straps is also awkward. Jul 01, 2020

This car seat is nice and comfortable for the kid. Too bulky for me to love it. Ended up switching it out for a Diono. But this is a high quality car seat for the price. Jun 07, 2020

Great upgrade from rear facing seats. My toddler loves the arm rests. Only thing is I wish the seat had more padding and quickLATCH connectors. Jun 03, 2020

This carseat is on the heavy side. I got this carseat to have as an extra so I do not have to take the one out of my car for someone to keep my daughter. I love the seat just wish it was not as heav Apr 29, 2020

Love this carseat. Our middle son has been riding in it for years and we'll never have to buy him another since it carries him until he's ready for no carseat. Apr 23, 2020

It is a great carseat if you have the space for it. It is big, heavy, and clunky.. Mar 04, 2020

I like this seat it’s comfortable for the kids and seems safe. The install is just a little difficult because the latches are hook type and not the push/click kind. Feb 22, 2020

We do a lot of research bon our car seats. We lived that this one goes to a high weight and can be used with a 5 point or a seat belt. Feb 13, 2020

Our daughter is so safe and secure in this car seat. The seatbelt straps are so easy to remove and put back into place if needed. Cleans well after crumbs and other food as in it. Feb 03, 2020

Lightweight and great for 2nd vehicle seat. Not as padded as 4ever for long travel comfort. Feb 01, 2020

I bought one at target and I loved the price. The seat was plush. It held my daughter pretty good compared to my other car seats. My only complaint is the head rest adjuster was hard to adjust. Jan 06, 2019

Have been using for my son for going on 3 years. Even bought a second for my parents car. Leaves plenty of room in the backseat and I still feel like my child is safe. Apr 25, 2018
- Whitney B.

bulky but more room for my son to readjust himself since not all the paddling some have. cup holder liners come out thank goodness. Definitely get a seat protector if your seats are leather. good buy Apr 01, 2018

Lasts through many years. Very comfortable. My kids love the cup holders and little cubbyhole in the arm rest. It is heavy but very sturdy. I wish the latch connectors still worked with it. backless. Dec 09, 2017

We've had zero problems with this seat. It does NOT sit rear-facing, so it won't work as an infant seat. My son just turned three, and this seat still looks brand new. Dec 07, 2017

Not a baby seat as my child says. Easily adjustable. Installs decent, some seats with forward buckle hard to get tight. Fabric cleans up nice but needs a washing machine. Harness close together neck. May 23, 2017

I have the Nautilus that goes to 80 lbs with the harness!! Awesome!!!!!! The only thing that's hard to get used to for me and my son are the harness pads that are not removable. Nov 24, 2016

We love our nautilus. We needed extra seats but didn't want I pay the same price that we paid for our Britax. This seat fit the bill. It has served our almost 7 year old very well! Nov 16, 2016

My daughter loves this seat. It is comfortable, easy to install, has awesome hidey pockets, and a good cup holder. It is also lower profile than our MyRide 65 which is great for my husbands legs. Sep 24, 2016

It's a much better booster than 5 point harness. My son loves it and all the cubbies it has. Perfect as an extra car seat. Jun 30, 2016

Just got this car seat for my car and I love it! It's kind of heavy but fits perfect in my highlander. My daughter loves how comfy it is and its decently easy to retread. Feb 28, 2016

Bottom buckles is too far back. Have to make my son uncomfortable in his private area just to get the buckle tight enough. Easy to install but not Worth it due to buckle issue. Feb 01, 2016

Don't love it but don't hate it. Can be difficult to install, boring cover options and my son didn't find it comfortable. Does convert to a proper fitting booster though which is nice Jan 29, 2016

We own this carsest as our extra, it is great! Love the cup holders and the little cubby holes:) Oct 04, 2014

Pros: It fits in our small car (Yaris). It's a 3in1 system. Cons: The buckle is finicky and difficult to tighten/loosen. It's a time consuming process to get it in and out of the car. Meh. Sep 30, 2014

Everyone-
Q: Im looking for a middle of the road priced car seat for a second car. Would people recommend this or not? Seems like a lot of people find the buckles tough to strap?
