    Pros: Ok looking material at best
    Cons: PINCHES KID'S LEGS!!!

    Summary: Ok, to all reading this do not buy this product! All of this happened in one day for those of you who may be concerned of my daughter's safety riding in a loose seat. We never got out of the driveway because I couldn't get her buckled in without ... read more

    Pros: Nice padding, 4 harness heights, can use top 2 when forward facing.
    Cons: Impossible to adjust harness, this makes a very unsafe ride.

    Summary: I bought this seat when my DD was 3mos old. I never really liked it but at the time it was what we could afford. I found the cover material to be nice as it was mostly cotton so would be cool in the summer, it removes eaisly and washed very well, I hung ... read more

    Pros: Comfy padding
    Cons: constant twisting of straps, difficult to install/use rear facing, bad release mechanism.

    Summary: I registered for this seat before my daughter was born and didn't think about it again until she outgrew the baby carrier. We pulled it out of the garage and proceeded to work out how to thread/install said seat. This lead to one of the biggest ... read more

    Pros: Looks nice, very plush, nice harness positions, good amount of recline.
    Cons: incredibly difficult to install, doesn't seem to fit small cars

    Summary: I picked this seat because of it's nice low harness slots (wanted to use it for a newborn), and it's various recline positions. I was also told that it's higher base made it fit better in smaller cars. Was this ever wrong!! The mechanics of installing ... read more

    Pros: It fit in our CRV
    Cons: Doesn't fit well in all cars and straps might be too short.

    Summary: Before you buy a car seat make sure you take both cars to the store and try out the seat before you buy it. Do not use the replica back seat car that is often displayed at Babies R Us to determine whether your car seat fits in your car. These ... read more

    Pros: comfortable, safe, secure, easy to use
    Cons: none different than any other seat/manufacturer

    Summary: We've just retired this seat for my 5 year of son. It served it's purpose nicely........nice and plush and cushiony so that when he fell asleep he was comfortable! As for the round buckle...... yeah, it's annoying, but this was my third child and we've

    Pros: Small and fits well in small sedans, price, easy to use.
    Cons: The instructions are hard to get to in the forward facing.

    Summary: I bought this car seat for our 1st son about 3 years ago. It is easy overall to use and we found it fit well into our small sedan car. We are now using it with our second son as well. Sometimes the straps get twisted easily but that may just be easy to

    Pros: Comfortable for child, good recline positions. Better as a rear facing seat.
    Cons: Hard to put child in and tighten straps and straps twist horribly.

    Summary: I've had it for 2 years and I was so fed up with the twisted harness straps that I was going to order new ones. I pulled out the owners manual only to discover that my 2 1/2 year old is too big for the seat anyways, now I need to go buy a new seat

    Pros: Neutral Color
    Cons: Straps too tight, Buckle between legs big and round, Straps difficult to adjust!

    Summary: I have had this car seat for almost 3 years now. I hate it, and I'm putting it in the garbage today! When it is rear facing it is nearly impossible to adjust the straps. We turned it around to forward facing thinking it would be better then. That is

    Cons: Cover not durable, rear-facing tether too short for large vehicles, difficult to access release loop

    Pros: Comfortable, easy to adjust, easy to clean!
    Cons: Heavy

    Summary: We got this car seat to replace another one we had (different kind) in which the straps didn't stay snug if my son arched and he then could loosen them more and climb out. It can be a little difficult to install, but once you do it a few times it gets

    Pros: comfy pad
    Cons: Hard to install without LATCH, Straps don't fit right

    Summary: This is a horrible car seat! I bought it because it looked comfortable and the buckles were easy to do/undo. When I got it home I figured out how difficult it is to install rear-facing if you don't have LATCH. Once my child rode in it a few times, the

    Pros: Pretty, comfortable, low cost
    Cons: bulky, hard to install, straps twist and tangle.

    Summary: We bought this seat for our 7month old and it was big and bulky. I did not fit in our Town&Country very well and the straps tangled something awful! I didn't feel like my son was safe in it with the strap situation and the way they twisted so I returned

    Pros: Well made, nice thick padding, sturdy straps and clasps.
    Cons: Straps too short for rear facing position, height of seat very tall.

    Summary: We bought two of these carseats. We chose this seat because it was nicely padded, well made and had a sturdy clasp for the chest area. Upon installing it into our Ford Escape SUV and Nissan Pathfinder, we found that the height of the seat was blocking
