| Laurie0201's Full Review: Century Avanta |
I purchased this car seat because I'm expecting my 2nd child, and it was expensive but I liked the features on it. It has a nice deep recline so the baby will be able to sleep in it comfortably, and I've found that a lot of car seats don't have a recline this deep. It has a padded carrying handle since the baby and seat will get heavier as the baby grows and every little bit helps. There are side grips on the handle so instead of holding it at the top of the handle, you can hold the sides which is a much more comfortable carrying position. It also features a level right system, which basically tells you, when installing the seat, if you have it positioned correctly, there is a little ball and if the ball is in the green then you did it correctly if it's in the red it needs adjusted, that is very helpful to me. It has a 2 piece harness so instead of pulling a seat belt over a sleeping baby's head and scraping ears and all that, you can simply unbuckle the belt and baby comes out easily. It also has two buckle slots to buckle the seat belt into one in the very front of the car seat and one a little closer to baby which allows for growth. It has 3 shoulder positions for the belt, which is very handy, most car seats only have two, so with this the baby has more room to grow. This car seat comes with a base that stays in the car, and it has a one handed release which is great! The cloth of this model is wonderful and the seat is well padded so baby will be comfortable. I had to use this car seat with my 16 month old daughter and she fit it comfortably, which is nice, because that means that a baby will be able to use this car seat for quite some time. There was one thing I ran into, the car seat sits rather high in a car, and we have a compact car, but even with it sitting high, it still fit well. Overall I'd recommend this product.
