Great Car Seat, but..., 2010-04-30
We used this car seat from the day we brought our son home from the hospital and it was wonderful. We always felt that he was safe and secure, comfortably strapped in, and easy to transport.
However.
Admittedly, we do not have a ton of experience with babies - this is our first, and none of our friends had babies before us. But when we were shopping for car seats we were told that 22lbs and 29" long (the limits on this particular car seat) would be at about 1 year of age. Our son is definitely a little bruiser, but he hit those restrictions at 7 and a half months. So we have been forced into buying yet another car seat only 8 months after buying the first one.
If I had it to do over again, I may have started with the convertible car seat to begin with - they have inserts that make them comfortable for newborns and work up to 50-60 pounds, depending on the brand.
Fits for 5-6 months, 2010-03-11
This is ok, but in hindsight I wish I had bought a more versatile carseat. My average size 6 month old is 18 lbs. This carrier only supports up to 20 lbs. Also, it's kind of a pain to thread the harness belts. To wash the seat, you need to completely take the seat apart. Also, I am not strong enough to attach the base - my husband needs to kneel on it to pull the belt tight enough. Slightly complicated car seat, wish it would fit up to 30 lbs. On the up side - it's a very safe seat & fabrics really have kept well.
Lightweight, Sturdy, and Stylish!, 2009-09-14
I picked this infant seat for a few reasons:
It is lightweight, only 7 lbs itself w/ out base,( and baby)
It has the EPS foam lining the seat between the plastic and the fabric baby sits on.
The fabrics used are easy to clean and are the colors I was looking for, Black, and Beige orange accent color. There is a velvet fabric in beige that is super soft!
It comes with a removable foot cover which will be great in the winter months or when going to the park in the stroller.
It also comes with removable shoulder strap covers (to lessen the irritation of the straps) and removable head support all which you can throw in the washer and clean if need be.
The canopy is a little flimsy but also removable, and it has a peep hole in the top so you can see the baby through it from the top.
The base it comes with is super easy to install took husband 5 mins, onces he read through the instructions, they make it very clear if it is installed correctly or not..
Overall I really like this car seat and I will recommend it to my friends.
Color is not what I expected, 2009-09-13
The car seat is fine as far as usage and construction. What I found disappointing is the color and design of this particular car seat. It looks much better online than it does in person. In person, the fabric is more of a beige color than gray.
