We bought this for my daughter, we've now owned it nearly 2 years and she adores it! We've taken trips in it, and she's always so comfortable b/c of the extra padding (which is why I bought it!) :)

I don't understand why the people who have owned this for one a few days or weeks review this....the straps are FINE!!! You just have to take the time BEFORE installing it to sit your child in it on the floor in your home and adjust the straps in the back and between the legs...there is LOTS of strap length and room with this seat!!!

We recently moved our infant into this seat in the rear facing position...she loves it too...but my 2 1/2 year old was not so happy about giving the seat up. We purchased the 2 yo a Britax (which was larger) convertable seat...at first she was a little scared of the size I think. It was roomier than she expected...she adjusted. But she still says "baby in MY seat!" :)

Boys are bigger...(my girlfriends son 1 week younger than my 2 yo) can definitely fit but might not be quite as comfortable as my daughter in this seat (but he weighs 40+ lbs!) :) But we love it!

I bought this car seat at Burlington because it looked so comfy. My son HATES riding in car seats, so I thought this would remedy that. Well, eyes can be very deceiving...it was so uncomfortable for him. The cushion is too thick and pushes the baby up too far in the car seat. The clip between the legs is short (made worse by all the cushion), so the buckles were poking into my baby's legs. Also, the belts that go around the legs are too tight. I read the reviews before I bought this, but I bought it anyway thinking I'd try it for myself because it might work for me. Don't make the same mistake I did. I took it back after my baby riding in it 3 times.

We have had this seat for 2 1/2 years and getting ready to buy another one just like it for our second son. When ever we have the seat out of the car for any reason my son loves to just sit in it. He would live in this seat if we let him. We take 8 hour road trips quite often and he is always comfortable. Highly recommended.

This car seat is horrible...

It is HARD to INSTALL and HARD to UNINSTALL.

Poorly Constructed... Parts were missing and some parts were loose.

Dorel Customer Service is HORRIBLE!!!

I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR SEAT!!!

This car seat is SO good looking! That is the only pro. The con is that we just got back from a 12-hour roadtrip and my 2-year old daughter was SO uncomfortable in this seat. We were gone over her nap AND nighttime and she could not get comfortable sleeping! She would fall asleep and her head would fall forward...I tried wedging in blankets and pillows and clothes to try to help support her head but nothing was working. She kept waking up in her sleep crying and trying to adjust herself. It was awful.

We have taken numerous roadtrips in her convertible car seat from Britax and she never had any trouble falling and staying asleep in it, so I know this is an issue with the seat NOT with my daughter.

This seat may work for you if you never want your kid to fall asleep in it. In fact, this would be the perfect seat if you never. ever want your kid to fall asleep in it!
