Takes up a lot of room. Con for multiples not a big deal for singletons. Sep 27, 2023

This is a great seat if you don't mind buying a booster seat after your child outgrowns this seat. Bought this one to use after my child outgrew the infant seat. Fairly small compared to other seats Jul 18, 2021

I would not buy this seat again. It is cheap, hard to instal and not very comfy for my child. On a budget it will due, but I wish I would have gotten two higher quality seats. Jun 22, 2021

For me, this isn't worth the money. It is the same price as others which allow for weights over 65lbs. This one is limited in that capacity Apr 20, 2021

I did love this product for many years, but now that they have a slimmer car seat... go with slim. Mar 23, 2021

It is difficult to get a tight install in the car with LATCH or the seatbelt. I am trained in proper car seat installation. It is too difficult to tighten the child, and most parents wont be able to. Feb 27, 2021
We had this car seat for my first daughter. It was snug, safe and easy to install. Nov 22, 2020

My yungest son had this car seat from 9 months until he was 3 and he loved it, I loved it as well. It’s not too bulky it fit great in my Toyota Corolla! Oct 21, 2020

This is not as comfortable as the 4ever seat but definitely a lot cheaper. We bought this to place at our parent's place that is only used 1 month in a year. I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. Oct 14, 2020

This seat was great when my son was a younger toddler, but as he got taller the angle of the seat did not allow him enough leg room in the car which resulted in him constantly kicking the seat. Aug 15, 2020

Found the install very hard to get accurately in my Toyota Sienna. Reclines very far back. Don't like. Jul 24, 2020

This car seat is so easy to take apart to clean! Seems comfortable and has a pretty high rear face weight limit. Mar 28, 2020

Easy in and out but feels lightweight and the fabric stains easily. Mar 15, 2020
- Laura K.

I like this carseat for the most part. It was difficult to install and get tight enough that I felt safe. Adjusting the strap height is a pain in the butt too. Once everything is installed it's good. Mar 06, 2020

This has been a fantastic convertible for us- my son has been in this since he was just over a year old, he’s now 5.5 and this seat is still going strong! Grows with him! Jan 20, 2020

We did like this seat and used it for a few years, but my daughter outgrew the height and weight. We purchased too many car seats and look forward to an all in one. Jan 13, 2020

We used this as a seat for our babysitter's car. It was nice, though not a padded in the seat as our other ones. It did the trick and my kid never complained. Jan 08, 2020

We have been able to use this awesome car seat for both of our boys. It has held up well as an easy, safe and affordable car seat. The straps were hard to adjust at first, but got easier in time. L Jan 02, 2020

This is a nice car seat for the price, but if I could do it again I would have spent a little more for the seats with booster options and extended rear facing. It is simple and feels safe. Nov 30, 2019

This was a great option as it is rear&front facing easy to install with LATCH system&other features r great it held up awesome in an accident my lo didn't move at all.This is only reason we r upgradin Nov 27, 2019

Bought these as second car seats for my husbands car. They rattle and make noise, fabric is thin. I wish cup holders were removable to clean. Overall ok for the price especially since we bought two Nov 23, 2019

I love that this seat grows with your child and that you don't have to re-thread the straps every time your child grows. My kids also loved the cup holder for their things. Oct 16, 2019

It was really nice for rear facing. It allows for a high rear facing height limit. No lock off so tight install with seat belt is almost impossible. Dec 22, 2020

We have this in our second vehicle and I don’t recommend. It feels cheap and plastic-y. I don’t feel like my son is secure should anything happen. It also slides a lot on the seat. Aug 01, 2019

We like it. The only problem I have is my arms are much shorter so it's a little harder for me to buckle/unbuckle when rear facing. May 25, 2017

LO is comfortable and happy. Breeze to install; ball/level for recline angle, etc. Note: this is the Contender with more padding, and we took the padding out- could have bought the cheaper one. Apr 22, 2016

Very comfortable and sturdy, we call ours the 'mini tank.' Little man loves it, we can finally enjoy rides without him screaming. Jun 03, 2015
