3.0 out of 5 stars
Looks great, hard to buckle!, February 18, 2005
This review is from: Safety 1st Intera 4-in-1 Convertible Car Seat (Baby Product)
I bought this car seat after reading about it in Parents Magazine. I should have gone with my hunch - that it is too new (I could barely find it) and no one had reviewed it yet. The base is huge, but without it the carseat is lopsided. My 29 month old daughter is tall (37") with a long torso and skinny. I struggle with this every day now. At first she fit it perfectly. Now that she has grown a little, I can barely lock the bottom buckle. It seems to not give enough depth, that is, there is not enough room from the back of the seat to the buckle. This is, of course, on the last of the adjustments. She only weighs 28 lbs, so the booster is a long way away. We will have to buy another car seat since we have had the seat for over 3 months (like I said, it fit when we got it). Beware! If you have a tall child, you may want to check out another one better suited for tall children.

So far, so good! + update, October 8, 2004
This review is from: Safety 1st Intera 4-in-1 Convertible Car Seat (Baby Product)
My 3 month old son has been using this car seat for a few weeks now. So far we haven't had any real problems with it. It took my husband a while to get it installed in the car, but he was able to get it nice and secure. I wouldn't recommend this though if you plan on switching the seat between cars. We have a minivan, and the seat fits well in it (on the middle bench). It doesn't seem as bulky as some of the other seats we looked at. It seems comfortable, and my son (who's big for his age) fits well in it. The straps and buckle aren't too hard to work (only once have I had a problem with the straps twisting). It's easy to adjust the straps, too. I think only time will tell how much we like this seat, seeing as how we haven't had it forward facing or used it as a booster seat yet, but so far we like it.
Update: after having this seat for almost a year now, it is still working well for us. This seat doesn't have as nice of amenities as some more expensive carseats (like the Britax we also have), but it will work fine if this is what you can afford. I still give it 4 stars.

Great seat!!!!!, June 29, 2005
This review is from: Safety 1st Intera 4-in-1 Convertible Car Seat (Baby Product)
I have heard so much about this seat is bad. I have a 7 month old & she loves it. I have a SUV & the seat fits perfect. All convertible seats are big. This one is narrow at the base though. The rep at Babies R US told me this seat is selling the best right now. All you have to do is read the book and be patient. It is not hard to install. So many people complain about the metal rod. Use a pair of pliers & screwdriver & the rod comes out fine. After all do you want something that will fall apart or that a 2 yr old can get out. This will last. The seat cover is easy to remove. Overall the best. My daughter & I love this seat!!!!!
