 Great value October 25, 2007

I bought this as a second car seat. The first one I bought is a Brittax , and over $200. This one works just as well. It doesn't have the soft fuzzy material on parts of it, but my baby doesn't know the difference. I love that it's convertible. The head rest doesn't stay put, but maybe my 9mo is just too tall for it. This is really great for the price. It's not worth spending the extra cash as long as the seat passes the crash tests and is easy to use, which this is. I'm not sure why we spent so much on the first car seat; it doesn't convert to a booster like this one.

We're buying an additional one of these for our second child. It's versatile, comfortable, and easy to clean. But the best part is the size. This seat is narrower by a couple inches and makes it easier to fit three seats in the back seat of a small car.
Great Seat for the Money March 24, 2008

This is a good seat for the money. I was worried that the price would dictate functionality, but it has not.
We have 9 month old twins, Jack and Gina. My son is huge which is why we had to go "convertible" so soon. I wanted to get the expensive car seats thinking that you get what you pay for, right? Well at $250 to $300 a pop for twins and two cars (convertibles are not easy to move from one vehicle to another) we would be out $1,000 to $1,200 total. OUCH! So I saw previous reviews on this seat and thought for $69 each (I bought two for a total of $152 w/s+h) what do I have to loose.
Fitting my child to the seat was quick and easy. It was as simple as putting him in the seat, choosing the proper shoulder height slot and threading the straps accordingly. It took all of five minutes to set up.
Car installation itself was somewhat difficult due to the tight space between the plastic frame and seat fabric where you thread your seatbelt to secure the seat. By somewhat difficult I mean the only comparison I have are the bases to car seats that are wide open and have ample access, so it may be a bit unfair to say difficult. But none the less, not as easy.
The seat fits fine in our little Saturn SL2 next to my daughters Graco car seat and base. I am 6'3" and have to squeeze my knee under the steering wheel to get into the drivers seat, but once in it is comfortable enough for short trips (30 minutes or less). I actually have more room with the convertible seat behind me that I do with the standard car seat. In my full size pickup I have this seat along side a traditional car seat with base. I have plenty of elbow room.
In the few months we have been using this seat, my wife and I both enjoy how easy it is to use. Our son straps in easily and quick. The harness is snug and adjusts easily with one pull of the center adjusting strap. Two clicks and my son is out of the seat and ready to be chauffeured (carried) to his destination. He appears to be comfortable in the seat as he has not fussed on any trip we have taken to date (though he has not been in it longer than 1 hour). So we are happy.
I have come across some of the more expensive seats that other families use (and I see this one is priced at $180 now? Is that right? Or did I get a smoking deal at $69?) and really do not see a difference worthy of the huge price gap. I mean I thought a Beatrix would have been the way to go for safety and all, but after using this seat for a few months I am fully confident in its' ability to protect my son (and soon my daughter) just as well as the next one. I honestly think for the price (if you can still get it at $69) it is a great seat.
We like it, but you need a big back seat April 9, 2008

Our infant is in the 97% size range so we were forced to buy a convertable to accomodate her. After reading reviews we opted for the Safety First, believing it would fit our '02 Mitsubishi Gallant. No, It doesn't. In rear-facing mode, the only way that it fits is directly behind the passenger seat, move the seat all the way forward and tilted staight up. Same in our '98 Corolla. This made travelling as a family impossible. Problem was we had the same issue with two other convertibles that we tested in the Mits so we kept the car seat and sold the car. Our daughter loves the seat. We ditched the infant head rest immediately and stowed the cupholder. Be careful of chubby thighs! I have pinched her once clipping into the between leg buckle in the winter. My only issue with this is that there is no doing it quickly. If it's raining, I get wet, windy, we get new hairdos. All-in-all, though, my daughter has enjoyed the seat for the last 1.5 months.
Highly Recommended January 17, 2008

I purchased this as a second vehicle car seat for our son and his wife for our first grandchild. They were thrilled with it being a 3 Phase Car Seat and it worked beautifully for them in my son's truck. The service was outstanding and exactly as promised.
