The shipping on this product took a lot longer than I’d expected – and once the box arrived, I could see why. Apparently, it had been kicked all around the country (it was severely damaged). I feared that the seat would have defects (after all, you aren’t supposed to use a car seat that’s been in a car accident, and it looked, for all intents and purposes, like this one had!), but once we got it out of the box and hooked up in the car, it’s worked out quite well. We’ve only had a few instances of twisted belts, but beyond that, it seems to be a very good product overall.

This seat is difficult to install (even with the latch system) and extremely difficult to adjust. The straps are very hard to tighten and one is always more loose than the other. My husband has to climb into the back seat, put his knee on the seat and pull as hard as he can to get the straps to tighten. After trying it for a month I don’t feel that it keeps my daughter safe and I’m returning the seat. It isn’t worth the cost savings. Don’t buy this seat!!!

Let me tell you that I am pretty good at fixing things. But this car seat is just not good. I am absolutly unable to get this seat in reclined position rear facing (in my honda accord). And forward facing this is too up-right. My baby was sooo unconfortable in it. I am returning it asap.

Something very wrong here, I received the product and first thing I notice is that the box is completely smashed (this may have been the fault of the delivery company). I open the box and the seat was just sitting in it, not wrapped like most new items are. The instructions were already in the slot in the seat and several pages were missing from the little booklet. I am sure that the seat model is fine but I have a very, very strong suspicion that this seat is used or some sort of return. I would never purchase from this seller.

I haven’t used the product yet, but so far I’m very pleased with my purchase. The car seat seems to be very sturdy, the fabric all high quality, and it is what the product description says it is. I’ll know more in a few weeks when my son is born and I actually get to use it!
