Pros: Fit well on our stroller and on a shopping cart.
Cons: Too large. Broke easily. Difficult to adjust.
The Bottom Line: I would strongly advise that you buy any other car seat instead of this one.

| amyshubby's Full Review: Century Avanta |
First off, I've never written an opinion on any product. However, after using (and returning) this car seat, I had to.
I researched every brand of seat before buying this, and I thought I made a good choice. I couldn't have been more disappointed. Other people that have written about it mention that if you have a small car, it might be too big. I have an Infiniti QX4 and had a hard time maneuvering it in and out of the back seat. It's way too big, and too heavy. My wife is tall, and she had to keep the front seat halfway up just to fit the car seat in the back.
In addition, it's incredibly difficult to adjust the straps, and the hood part of it is very flimsy.
Most importantly- the car seat kept breaking! The red buttons you push to adjust the handle kept sticking in the "pushed down" position. After it happened to the one we bought, and the one we replaced it with, I called Century. They admitted it was a problem, but didn't seem too concerned.
This was the most expensive infant seat in the store. I bought it for my wife's car, and borrowed a used Evenflo from a friend for my car. We ended up returning this and using the Evenflo full time in my wife's car.
I would not recommend this product. If you are still considering it, I would HIGHLY recommend that you go to a store that allows you to put it in your car first, because this thing is a monstrosity!
