| daventray's Full Review: Evenflo On My Way Deluxe Rear Facing Infant Car Se... |
Before our son was born my husband, Dave and I went out looking for a car seat. Looking over all sorts of seats, we unfortunately choose this one. When we first got it home it was cute and pretty, then a few weeks later the baby came and it wasn't so great.
Where to begin...well the adjustable harness isn't so adjustable. The mechanism that you squeeze to adjust the harness to the size of the baby is unpredictable. Sometimes it is really hard to squeeze and others it just slides apart.
The handle, after only being in use for eight weeks, already has about an inch and a half of movement when it is locked into all positions. With all the recalls from other companies from handles giving out we have stopped using it to carry the baby anywhere. And when changing the position of the handle, you'd better hope the baby isn't sleeping, because it jolts the whole seat as it locks in. Startling the baby to attention!
The base is a nightmare! When you can get the two pieces apart your lucky! The top of the seat has to be at a perfect angle to the bottom or else you're there all day struggling to release it. After returning to the car and replacing the seat to the base, it doesn't always lock securely which was extremely frightening when I was driving and heard the pop of the spring as it locked in!
The only advantage it has is that when shopping, it fits well onto the front of the shopping cart so you don't have to take the baby out of his warm seat.
I really dislike this carseat on all accounts and would not ever recommend it for anyone!
