   We purchased this car seat as an extra to be used by her care giver and for travel as is lighter weight than our other one.
   We were on a trip over the holidays this year and involved in a very severe head on car accident.
   My almost 2 year old daughter walked away with a tiny bruise on her chest/neck from the strap (my one complaint about comfort with this seat is it has no cloth gaurd for the straps at the neck line) and was playing with my brother’s dog later that night while the rest of us (4 adults with seat belts) were in critical to severe condition and in the hospital for many days.
   I am purchasing another one to replace and can say from experience this seat did it’s job!
   Always be sure your kids are correctly in their seats!!!!

   I have only had this seat installed for about two weeks or so, but I’m already thinking that perhaps I would have been better off with another. My daughter is 7 months old now, and she is long for her age, but weight-wise she is average. Here are the cons of the seat that I have experienced so far:

   1) The seatbelt buckle point in the center is very nice and heavy duty, but the placement is awkward. When I fasten the leg belts over her thighs and into that buckle, I have to slide 2-3 fingers underneath to make sure that her skin doesn’t get caught between the plastic pieces. The pieces that buckle are literally ~on~ her thighs, and easily pinch her when closing, if I don’t prevent it.

   2) The “reclining positions” are made possible by a swiveling plastic platform under the seat – you can either have the platform in the back or the front section. In my minivan, neither position looks very different in terms of angle of recline than the other. I’ve got a towel rolled up and placed under the front section for now – I may have to roll up another one as well to keep my daughter’s head from continually falling forward when she naps.

   3) I don’t care for the layout of the instruction booklet. You have to look in three different places before you can fully understand how to adjust the entire buckling system around your child. It’s not impossible to understand, but it’s a pain.

   Here is what I like about the seat:

   1) The fabric is great, and the padding is well made. On the whole, the produce itself is of good quality workmanship.

   2) Once you figure out how to follow the instructions for adjusting the seatbelt system, actually manipulating it is fairly easy. Other products require some wrestling to get the belts where you want them – this seat is fairly simple.

   All in all, I would probably not buy this seat again, nor recommend it to others. But for the price, the produce is livable.
