Pros: Longevity of use/ Harness or seat belt strap/ Strong/ Material hides stains Cons: Not for infants/ Not enough padding for the bottom/ Difficult to remove covering
Vacationing with my in-laws, my husband and I let it slip that their grandson was getting too big for his car seat. We gave them the whole spiel about his head being over the top of the seat and how harness were the safer way to go. Fast forwards...
Pros: 5 point harness, front harness adjuster. Cons: Front harness adjuster takes some practice.
I wrote this review some time ago in the "Century Next Step" catagory, Epinions has now added a "DX" catagory and I am moving it here, with some minor additions to make it more helpful than it was.
Pros: Good safety features, lots of attractive bells and whistles Cons: No front harness adjuster, some of the nicer features turned out to be less useful than I expected.
"This one."
"Hmmm, no this one"
"Well, maybe this one...."
There I stood in the car seat row of Toys-R-Us, picking up one purchase slip, only to put it down and pick up another. My...
Pros: Rated Highly by Consumer Reports, Room for Growth, Comfort, Easy to Clean Cons: A minor problem with adjustment of crotch strap.
My two and a half year old son is quite a big boy for his age. He topped the 40 pound mark a couple months ago. Recently I noticed it was time to adjust his car seat when all of a sudden he screamed each time he had to ride in it. To my amazement, the...
Pros: many Quality Features, Safe and Secure Cons: none
Problem: We have 2 vehicles, 1 car seat and toddler is 19 months old. She's too big for an infant seat, almost 27 pounds so she's ready for a booster seat if we choose and she hates to ride in the car.
Pros: 5 point harness and seat belt options Cons: Recline position requires reinstalling booster seat
**This is an upgraded version of the NextStep booster, called the NextStep DX**
There I was strolling through Babies R Us looking for closet locks when my mouth dropped open. A young man was telling a couple that their son was too tall for...
Pros: Highly rated by Consumer Reports and the American Academy of Pediatrics Cons: Century does not win any fashion awards with their car seat covers, pricier than my convertible option
If you are not particularly good at installing car seats or don’t have the patience for switching them between cars, I would highly recommend purchasing an additional one or two depending on your needs. We were in the market for another booster seat and...
My parents had purchased this Century Next Step car seat about 3 months ago to keep in their car for when they take my son out. It was just to much trouble playing musical car seats all the time, so they went out and got their own. They purchased this...
Pros: Easy to use, comforable, nice features Cons: Harness adjuster took some getting used to
Shortly after my daughter turned 3, she needed to pass her car seat on to her baby sister, so I began a search for the perfect booster seat. There were so many models to pick from, and many had a few things I didn’t like about them. After narrowing...
Pros: Sturdy locking clip, 5 point harness, safe Cons: none
My reasons for purchasing the Century Nextstep seat were simple.
I was looking for a seat that had a locking chest clip. My daughter was 1 and a half years old and had become a car seat (and stroller) escape expert.
We originally had the kind...
Pros: LATCH compatible, has tether strap, Cons: Very difficult to adjust harness and crotch strap. Inadequate instruction book
The seat we bought is the Next Step DX which is the Deluxe model of the SE or Next Step. Although Consumers Reports had some misgivings about the hooking up of the belts as not being fool proof and that parents must be very careful in doing so, CR gave...
Pros: Roomy, Easy to install, Twist free 5 point harness straps. Cons: Straps can't be adjusted from front.
I have been searching for just the right carseat booster for my almost 3 year old daughter for awhile now. No, she hasn't exceeded the weight limit in her regular carseat yet, but I became so sick of lifting her INTO, the high sided seat, that I...
This carseat is a wonderfull car seat that is if you use and install it properly. I see today so many parents rushing their children into growing up and putting them in a car seat which they should not be in yet. Remember when they are infants they must...
Pros: comes assembled, converts to a booster Cons: reclining system a little awkward, mkae sure your child can sit up
The Next Step is a good car seat for securing a child over 20 lbs that can sit upright by themselves. This I feel is important when considering this seat.
Pros: Safe, easy to use Cons: not for car sleepers
We purchased this car seat 9 months ago, and are happier with it than we anticipated! When we bought it, one of the features we were looking for was a buckle strap adjuster, instead of those flimsy strap mechanism that so many car seats have. Another...
