Pros: the very easy to follow directions for installation,great looking,very easy to use Cons: honestly we haven't found anything wrong with it yet except maybe too big for some cars,we have a Windstar and it fits perfectly
I have received a comment that my opinion did not have enough information, so I am adding some more information that might help if you are considering buying this product for your child.
I have the cosco alpha omega(the one without the bar)It holds...

Pros: safe and easy Cons: none
When my son was about to outgrow his infant seat, we went out searching for a car seat. We had heard great things about the Alpha Omega, so we went to check it out. We liked the way it was built, quality and style. We took our son with us that day to...

Pros: able to 'grow' with the child, padded, holds a child rear facing until 35 lbs Cons: kind of pricey
When our youngest son was 7 months old we had to decide if we were going to turn him around to forward-facing in the car seat or invest in yet another car seat. He had reached (and surpassed) the 20lb limit for rear-facing in the old car seat. I had...

Pros: 0 to 200lbs., matches upholstery and leather Cons: Too big, bulky and uncomfortable
I registered for this car seat at two different stores. When no one purchased it I convinced my husband we could not live without it and we would be bad parents if we didn't buy it.
Now I am eating those words. I thought this seat would work great...

Pros: 3 car seats in one! Cons: will not fit in some small cars in reverse facing position
Like most parents these day my wife and I both work and have two cars. So we need two car seats so we don't have to move one seat between the two cars all the time. Also like most parents we don't want to spend a fortune of car seats, especially since...

Pros: Can be used for infants and children up to 80lbs. Cons: Did not recline very far for the infant position. Very big
I got the car seat when my son was under 20#s but was too long for his infant seat. It did not recline far enough to be comfortable for him. It was also very difficult to get tight in the infant position. I would not recommend this seat to use with an...

Pros: Can be used from infant to 80 lbs. Cons: Rear facing position makes it hard to tighten and loosen straps.
Nice looking seat that (in theory) can be used from infant to 80 pounds. We found the straps to be difficult to adjust in the rear-facing position (the latch is buried into the seat). Also, in our car the car seat sits up almost straight (despite being...

Pros: One carseat does it all Cons: Twisty straps, can't use forward facing until 22lbs, too big for Grand Am
This carseat can take you from beginning to end. However, there's no way my tiny, petite 6lb 2oz baby could have ever been safe in that seat. She didn't fit in it until she was 15 lbs because the harness wouldn't tighten up enough. She is now 20...

Pros: This car seat is very comfortable and easy to use. Cons: It is a bit bulky when used with the base.
I just love this car seat. It was given to me at my baby shower and have been using it for my 9 month old daughter for at least two months. I loved this car seat because it came with all of the extra stuff ~ the strap covers, a pillow, and infant head...

Pros: I really like the colors (pink and brown) and it is very well cushioned. Cons: Directions are not clear and the latch system is terrible.
I read the safety information and thought I was buying the best. I have found this seat so difficult, I am going back to my infant carrier for now. The directions for the latch system were not very clear. After 45 minutes of reading, threading and ...

Pros: Price, durability, and five point seat belt Cons: Back does not tilt back very far and straps get twisted easily
First I must say we have two of these car seats. We received one for a shower gift and purchased the other one when my wife and I took separate jobs. I have my seat in the car all the time and my wife takes hers out everyday as she has commuters riding ...

Pros: This car seat securely buckles the child into the seat. The versatility is nice. Cons: Buckle is difficult to secure. Overhead bar broke. Chest buckle easily twists and falls off.
We purchased this car seat when our child was about 8 months old. We used it in the rear facing position with few complaints. The only one was the difficulty securing the main buckle. It required a great deal of force at the proper angle. As our child...

Pros: Very versitile. Easy to install and adjust for a baby or toddler Cons: Large and you cannot see the baby while driving when it is rear facing.
The Alpha Omega Convertible Car Seat made by Cosco was a very good buy for the money. We bought it when our daughter outgrew her infant car seat. It can be used as an infant car seat, which is why it is advertised as the only car seat you will ever...

Pros: Padding is thicker than competitor brands, I durability of the side head supports. Cons: Installation, Installation, Installation!!!!!!!!
Should come with warning that it does not fit small cars!
I just bought this item over the weekend and neither I nor my husband could get the car seat tight enough while rear facing. I'm very upset that the base only has one place to weave the lap belt through. If there was another place to weave the belt ...

Pros: converts to different stages of growth for the child Cons: a bit bulky, & does not far enough back for newborns
We love this car seat! We started using it right from the hospital, in our one vehicle. However we did wish that it reclined a little bit more for the newborn. It was recommended to us by our local police department for it's safety features. Our son...
