  • I had my first major accident with my son in this chair,a rollover. He didn’t have even a scratch on his body. I went back and bought 2 of these, one for each car. Sep 13, 2022

  • I love this seat, actually have 3. Longer life and fits kids from infant until booster. Also travels well and good for airplane use. May 13, 2021

  • Originally got this for my daughter and rear facing was terrible to install! Even with the front seat all the way forward it was still too long. I have a Mercury Mountaineer TRUCK and it was too big! Jun 08, 2020

  • The seat is bigger so it does take up some room. My little one would get small red spots on her back where the back does not have a lot of padding and puts pressure on her back. We've switched seats. Mar 06, 2020

  • Transitioned from Graco snugride 30 infant seat to this when son was 1.5 years old. For some reason I always look forward to the “next step”where he will fit perfectly but he is 40lbs & it never did. Apr 18, 2019

  • Not a fan of this seat. Hard to install, bulky, straps are hard to adjust. Donated it to a friend Apr 01, 2019

    The only safety first seat I love. I had it with my 3 year old and now my 2 year old is using it. It's very sturdy and does not move at all. This is the only carseat I recommend that isnt graco! Feb 08, 2019

  • Love how you don't have to take all the straps out as baby grows! But doesn't have quick click latch system so it was too much of a hassle to use latch. Apr 07, 2018

  • Great inexpensive car seat (compared to others) that still has good padding and has lasted us years. Oct 25, 2017

    Easy to buckle and clean. This car seat also meets airline requirements and can be brought on a plane. It's just a bit heavy and also a bit tricky to correctly install. Jun 08, 2017

  • We got this seat when my son was nine months old and he loved it and did until it was in an accident while it was not in use in my parents vehicle. the seat looked completely unharmed, still let it go Jan 23, 2016

    This seat was gifted to us by my well-meaning in-laws. I HATE this seat. It's so big and awkward to fit into either of our cars. I had to use a rolled up towel to get the proper recline and it's still not exactly correct. I am definitely returning this seat asap. Aug 26, 2015
