2.0 out of 5 stars 2007 model is a PAIN, October 16, 2009

By	Looeybee - See all my reviews

(Duplicate review) I have been struggling with this thing for the last 11 months. Now that we're finally moving onto a bigger seat I thought it would be a good time to write a review.
Like other people have said, this seat is great aesthetically. We got SO many complements on it. Plus I've never seen another one around, so it's rarity has made it a bit of a novelty. Ours is a vibrant blue color and black. But from what I can tell it isn't being manufactured in that color scheme anymore.
The frustration comes from it's functionality. For starters, taking the seat on and off of the base is MISERABLE! It usually takes several tries (and brute strength) to get the thing on or off. Because of this we never really used it as an infant carrier. It was just too much of a struggle. There is an adaptor available for snapping it into our bugaboo stroller, but I never bothered to get it because it was too hard to get the thing out of the base. However, that being said, there has been a recall on the base and I expect to have a new one soon. We'll see...
Unfortunately the recall does not include an improved buckle.
It's difficult to explain in words... but the bottom (crotch) portion of the 5 point harness is really hard to use. You have to hold both sides together, and then snap them into the buckle simultaneously. They are forever slipping apart, making it a challenge to buckle in a squirming kid. Also it has a tendency to catch the babies' clothing, and when this happens it won't snap. So, you have to pull the two (slippery) pieces together, push the babies' clothes out of the way, AND hold on to the buckle... all at the same time. It can be a challenge even when there is another adult there to help!
We have it in a VW Jetta, and while it fits there isn't any room to spare. Also the passenger in the front sear has to sit further forward than we would like in order to accommodate the baby seat in the (middle) back seat. Also, the few times we did carry it around as a carrier the sunshade fell down bellow the seat and ended up dragging along the ground. The only solutions were to remove it and carry it around with us separately, or to hold it up in your hand that is holding the handle (very awkward).
