I purchased this car seat for a 2nd car & I don’t like it at all. We use the Graco Milestone all-in-one as our primary seat and I was looking for something similar to it but, didn’t want to spend over $200 for a seat that is used only 3 or 4 times monthly. I wish I’d spent the extra money on the Graco. The straps on this one slide up and down too easily. While it makes it easy to adjust, I don’t see how it stays put in a crash. With the Graco, they move when you move the headrest and are threaded through/locked in place. The chest clip on this is flimsy and the straps are thin and twist easily. While the Graco tightens by pulling the excess strap through the shoulder opening, this tightens by pulling the excess straps across the belly, squeezing the lo’s belly. The Graco also has a level indicator which works like an actual level so you know the seat is in at the right angle. This seat you have to eyeball to see if it’s parallel to the floor. This seat does have the cooling fabric, which is nice and it has extra padding on the sides of the head, which was also a selling point. If I’d never used the much more user-friendly and (in my opinion) safer Graco, maybe I wouldn’t hate it. As it is, I wish I’d never bought it. I’d rather switch car seats than use this one.
