I was given this car seat as a gift when my daughter was born. I probably never would have bought it since it's quite pricy at $120 but I absolutely love it. I feel that my child is very safe when in the car since he has all of the protection of this car seat. It has built in lock-off clips for easy and sturdy installation into the car. It works both rear facing for infants and can be changed to forward facing for toddlers. The car seat can hold children up to 100 pounds.A feature that I really like is that the cover is removable and washable. This comes in handy because I often let her eat in the car when we're going on a long trip and the cover can get dirty. Another good feature is that the seat reclines into several different positions with only one hand. If I notice she has fallen asleep, I can tip the car seat back while stopped at a red light. It is also very easy to install and remove so that we can switch it between cars quickly. The car seat is rather large but since my daughter is the only one in the backseat this has not been an issue.
My daughter seemed to be quite fussy in her old car seat but that might just have been because she is so young. We used to have problems with her crying whenever she was in the car but since we switched seats it has been much better. I have asked her if her seat is comfy and she has told me it is. She is able to sit up and see out the window which seems to keep her occupied. She weighs about 40 pounds and I do believe there is enough room in there for her to grow quite a bit more. The straps adjust easily and are simple to change as she grows. One of my friends has one and she is still using it with her four year old son.
While this car seat is quite expensive, I believe it is worth the investment since you will be using it for years. It gives you a great peace of mind knowing that your child is safe in the car while you're busy driving. It is very study and attaches perfectly into the car to get rid of all my worries.
