The seat does what it needs to and for the price is appropriate. I don't switch cars with it, and installing it once was a little more cumbersome than the twice as expensive Recaro back-to-front seat we have in the other car. The belts are thinner than the Recaro's, which actually makes it easier to twist any wrongly aligned latches. The tightening strap is difficult to pull snugly, but not frustratingly so.

As others have mentioned, there isn't much head support for naps while driving, so for longer trips where your child may be napping, have something to use for head support so the nap lasts longer than til the first major turn.

The low seat height and fold-able armrests are great for ingress/egress, but for whatever reason, when the seat is empty, they jiggle annoyingly when driving unless you wrap a harness strap around them.

So overall, its a decent seat that my son likes to ride in, but has some little quirks that have easy work-arounds that would probably cost way extra for an enhanced feature on another model booster seat.

I purchased this carseat from Amazon.com and per usual it came quickly and fit the description perfectly. I loved the style, the features, and the fabric of this seat. However, after using it for 2 weeks I had to return it. The main issue was that when my daughter falls asleep in this carseat, her head flops around because there's no head support. Obviously this isn't comfortable for her, so she wakes up and cries every time I turn a corner or step on the brake.

As a note, my wife has a Deluxe Eddie Bauer High Back Booster Car Seat that does have a head support, so some of the models have them. This seat's head cushion stops my daughter's head from flopping sideways. I'll shop around for other seats, specifically looking at the Graco Nautilus, but if I don't like that, I'll probably buy what my wife has. I hope this helps.

This is a great seat. The ability to quickly change the configuration including straps and recline and make it work with any car/van you have really rocks. I have 3 different seats and this one is the easiest and best by far.

We have a 14 month old and we have had the chair for about 2 months now. We had looked at reviews on Amazon and other sites. There was mention of kids heads bobbling around, we have not seen that problem. Another problem that we read about was that the cup holder falls down too easily. First off, the cup holder is not close enough for a 1-2 year old, maybe even a three year old to reach when buckled in so it is sort of a non-issue, however, when you raise the cup holder up, you have to slide the entire cupholder assembly down for it to lock in place. Our 14 month old sits in this chair like it is a kings chair. He loves putting his arms on the arm rests, they are a good height and it makes him look like big kid just lounging in his recliner! We tilt it back slightly so that he is comfortable. The fabric quality seems to be good, anything that kids have wear quickly but this can be helped by taking good care of the seat. All in all, the price was great and the chair is wonderful.

My daughter picked this out at Kids r Us, I saved by buying from Amazon. My daughter tells me the quality and comfort for her daughter is very satisfactory even on long car trips. Amazon delivery was perfect again, as always. Thanks Amazon!!!!

My daughter likes the seat. Easy to move the straps and adjust. NOT easy to clean seat. You have to take the whole seat apart to wash. I suggest buying a piddle pad if your child has frequent pee accidents. It is nice to recline and fits good in Honda CRV. Possibly buying another one for her sister. Can only reach cup holder when they get older, it's far down to reach, especially when reclined.
Overall happy!

Its a great car seat. I wish it had a a little more padding and I thought it was a different color. Thats why I only gave 4 stars.

This seat is solid, and very sturdy. I bought it for my 1 year old, and no regrets. Great seat for the money.

I decided to invest in this seat to have on hand when I help with my nephew. My car is a real pain with installing and removing seats and switching seats with my sister got really old, so buying this ended up being a great choice! It is very easy to handle and has a ton of features that end up coming in really handy! My three going on four year old nephew loves it and I haven't had any issues with the seat that have been previously mentioned. I would imagine that child size has a lot to do with any issues. It is a very nice and comfortable seat for the price...simpler seats were so much more. I like that it has such a high weight and height range so that as long as he will be in a booster seat, this one will work for him. Definitely getting my money's worth.

I absolutely love this car seat, it's one of the best priced seats for how well it's made, it's easy to install and move from car to car, and it isn't heavy either! My daughter hates car seats, she will start kicking and crying the minute she sees one but she really seems to enjoy this seat!! The only down side I could think of would be that there isn't really a head rest for sleeping, but that's common in car seats, so I bought a neck pillow (supports her spine and promotes good posture) for her and it's perfect. I also really like the reclining option and so does she!
