3 Star ReviewOkay, but not impressed
Strengths: Price, side-impact protection
Weaknesses: Hard to manipulate tightening strap, feels cheaply constructed.
Summary: We've only used this seat for about a week, but we're already wishing we'd purchased something else.

We've found it very difficult to tighten and loosen the straps. We do have the shoulder straps in the highest opening, so with the headrest down, that's causing part of the problem. But even raising the headrest a bit didn't solve it completely.

The construction is a bit cheap as well. The molding around the strap you pull to tighten things has come off and the fabric is fraying.

I will say that, for the price, you do get some extra protection - like side impact - so that's the benefit of using this seat. Lower cost than what you'd pay for similar features.

All in all, we would have been willing to spend more money for a nicer seat, but if you're looking for something economical, this can be a good choice.

Strengths: This is much more affordable than other 5 point harness seats that let you fit a child up to 65lbs. I love the material it's made from
Weaknesses: none so far
Summary: We bought this carseat for our 3 year old because we didn't want to put him in a booster seat until he was more mature. We were weary of spending over 100 without first seeing in a store, but no stores around us kept this seat in stock. After much review reading we ordered and we are so glad we did. Our son was very comfortable this weekend for our 8 hour car trip and so far I like everything about the seat. I highly recommend this seat as it is safest to keep your children in a 5 point harness for as long as possible.
