Pros: Sturdy, easy to put in, SAFE Cons: straps get tangled a little too much
We were involved in a car accident and my 18 month old daughter was in the car with me in her Alpha Omega seat. The car was totaled, I had severe whiplash injuries, my daughter was FINE! This seat saved her life. When our insurance company took the seat...

Pros: Converts from infant to toddler to booster Cons: Consumer Reports doesn't recommend this seat when used as a booster
We had to replace all three of our kids' carseats due to an automobile accident. At the time, my kids were 6 months, 3 years and almost 5 years, so I had one in every category! I finally bought this seat after spending about 2 weeks buying seats and...

Pros: straps twist, straps slide off shoulders at times, can be difficult to install Cons: comfortable for son, easy to adjust
We did an extensive amount of research before purchasing a car set to replace our son's infant carrier and after a lot of thought decided on the Alpha Omega. All in all we have been very happy with the seat.
Initially we had a lot of...

Pros: Price,
Versatility,
3 in 1,
No threading straps,
Tether strap,
5-100lbs Cons: Not suitable head support for young infants,
Not enough recline for rear-facing position
I'll be honest, I was very hesitate to purchase this car seat because I had read so many negative reviews about it. I really had my heart set on buying a $250-$300 Britax model. However, I wasn't in a position to spend that kind of money on a car seat. I ...

Pros: convertible Cons: price
I have bought 3 car seats. The Alpha Omega is by far the best around. It fit perfectly into my Camry. I love the 3 position angle of the seat, the comfort for my child, and the versatility for various weight classes.
The seat is rear...

Pros: Well Padded, Nice Looking, Easy to Use, Durable Fabric Cons: Straps Twist a Bit, Does Not Recline Enough, Not Deep Enough to Cradle Small Baby
I did a lot of research on car seats when I realized my 7 mo was too long for infant carrier. I wanted to get something that would last for our next baby as well. I was in the process of looking for a seat when I went to Sears and the Alpha Omega was ...

Pros: Beautiful! Great Features! Heavy Duty! Cons: Expensive, hard to clean, very heavy
The first Cosco Alpha Omega carseat I bought was for my now six year old daughter. I thought it was the greatest carseat ever and everyone complimented us on it- calling it the "Caddy" of all carseats. It was definitely a very good-looking carseat! I ...

Pros: 3-in-1 Cons: Straps are ALWAYS twisted; Belt positioning guides don't allow for proper retracting; Difficult installation
We purchased this seat for our daughter when she outgrew her infant carrier. The thing that attracted us most to this seat was that it is advertised as the only seat you'll ever have to buy. While I suppose this can be true, we are about to purchase a ...

Pros: Safe, comfortable and easy to adjust to a growing kiddo! Cons: The bottom cushion/positioner has faded in the sun
We purchased this seat for our son after having purchased a ComfortSport seat by another manufacturer and hating it. We just LOVE all the safety features and comfort padding in this seat. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a safe, quality and ...

Pros: Comfortable
Plush cloth keeps baby from slipping during adjustments.
SIMPLE to adjust height of straps! Cons: Doesn't fit in medium sized car.
Too hard to tighten straps.
Poor buckle design.
We ended up having to return this. Unfortunately the store we purchased it at (ToysRUs/BabiesRUs) didn't allow us to try a model in our car. Our daughter is 11 months, so she still needs to be rear-facing, but she can't fit in her infant carrier ...

Pros: Can work for all stages Cons: The child must be short to last to 40 pounds in toddler mode
Knowing that we would be having a second child we bought this seat when our first outgrew the infant carrier. It fit in our cars and we figured it would last through booster mode for at least one of them.
Our first daughter is now three years...

Pros: Grows with your child, 5-point harness system, great value for the price Cons: A tight squeeze for front-seat passengers when fully reclined in infant position
What? Save money on the Cosco Alpha Omega? How about 30 bucks! That's right! I did some extensive research on prices and found that the major stores in my area were asking between $129 and $130 for the Alpha Omega, but at my local Costco they are...

Pros: The versatility- can be used from infancy to 70 lbs.; easy to adjust straps Cons: Very large and difficult to install in smaller cars; could tilt back a little more.
The idea behind this seat is wonderful- a car seat that changes and adapts as your child grows. This seat has many wonderful features. I love that it is easy to adjust the straps and height of the infant head bumper. I also like the easy push button...

Pros: Good size, Great Price Cons: Twisty straps
This seat is recommended for children from 5lbs to 35lbs rear facing, 22-40 forward facing using the 5 pt harness and 30-80 as a belt positioning booster seat. Installation of this seat is easy. We had ours installed by the fire department, for peace...

Pros: 3 car seats in one, 5 point harness, easy to use Cons: PRICE! harness straps tend to twist
I bought this car seat for my first daughter when she outgrew her infant carrier, and I've never regretted it. My husband and I stood infront of the display of carseats for hours debating between all the different choices. I wasn't too thrilled with...
