I had a lot of trouble choosing a convertible carseat when my son outgrew his infant carrier. We didn't have a large budget and everything in my budget was rated low or "suitable for back-up". After reading everything online I could find, and actually looking at the carseats in person at the store, I went with this model.
It installs easilly, is not difficult to adjust the strap height if you read the directions, works well both with the latch system and without, is small enough to fit in my smaller car, and seems to be comfortable for my son. Oh, and no trouble with straps twisting. And baby loves the handy little mesh pockets for his toys!
The only down-side is that if he falls asleep, his head slumps sideways, but I don't think that's unique to this model...just a downside of sitting upright.
So coming from someone that can't afford $200 carseats for our vehicles, this one does very well as our full-time carseat, and I may very well buy a second one for my husband's vehicle when finances allow.
My advice is to read the directions. And if you have any trouble getting it fitted, take advantage of your local police/fire-department services. I accidently put the seatbelt through the wrong slot and had trouble with the seat tipping over (!!!), but the day that happened, I made one phone call to the police department's expert and she knew exactly what I'd done and how to correct it. No problems since (and wouldn't have been if I'd read the directions properly in the first place). |

This was the most comfy, visually attractive, and easiest to use carseat we tried, and we tried many. My daughter is long and thin, and this fits her well without being too bulky like most of the other seats. The straps are easy to use as soon as you get the hang of it, and she is very happy in it (except for boredom in the car).
Love it! |

| After looking the actual carseat in the store, I decided to go for this one. If you read the installation instructions carefully for just once then life is so easy for installation. The product sits very securely in rear facing or front facing conditions. It has nice enough recline in front facing position so that our daughter sits in very comfortably. The head pillow is a bit large but not at at uncomfortable. The fabric is very great and easily washable. The net side pockets are great and shoulder belt pads are wonderful. I would strongly recommend this car seat for those who are looking for something around $100. Sears has it on sale for $109. |

| This is the only seat my son has ever used. From birth to the ripe old age of 16 months. He loves sitting in it and has no problem falling asleep on long drives. The recent recall involving this model was for seats from 2005 so it didn't effect us. The straps never twist and the seat is keeps it shape very well after being thrown in the washing machine. It is also one of the few seats we were even able to fit in our car rearfacing without moving the front seat completly forward. We're expecting another baby in January and will be getting this seat again. |
LOVE this carseat

| We have this carseat in a different color for our daughter. She has been in it since she was 6 months old and is now 2 1/2. It is lightweight, fairly easy to install, and she has always seemed comfortable in it. Works well in a small car (we had it in a chevy cavalier) - it was a bit cramped when she was rear facing, but when we turned her around it was no problem at all. We like it so much we just bought a second one for our 7 month old son. |
We love it

| Our 6 month old baby loves her new seat. She sits up higher than she did in her Graco carrier seat. She is very comfortable in it. I wouldn't suggest putting a newborn in it though. Wait until the baby has good head control. |
love it

| This is the second seat that i have bought like this, one for each of my children. It is easy to install, easy to clean, and i have not had any issues with it at all. would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a basic seat that will get their child from infant to booster sized child. |

I was initially sceptical about buying this product. We already have Eddie Bauer Delux 3 in 1 convertible car seat which goes upto 100 lbs. We found that car seat comfortable but a little difficult to install rear facing.
When we needed a second inexpensive car seat for 10 minutes of daily use, we decided to buy this from amazon. This car seat only goes upto 80 lbs. But we found it easy to install rear facing. Since it is a little bit smaller than more expensive car seat which goes upto 100 lbs, it is can recline more. It also has a better latch design and unlike the more expensive one, it does not pinch.
We felt that we should have bought two of these car seats instead of more expensive one.

This carseat is not only great priced but, a great buy product too.My 6 month old loves this seat and falls asleep now everytime she sits in it.The installation is a little tricky and if you don't read the manual and your car manual you may have a hard time.The Latch system works wonderful and if it is rear facing and the seat seems to be tipping forward then the seat is positioned incorrectly.There is a marking on the top of the seat that tells you to the line level with the ground and if it is not it will tip. If you still can't get it you can always go to the firestation and they will install it for you.
