we bought this car seat for our new addition to the family. The car seat has some of the highest ratings for safety. I have to say, being a "engineering" type, I still had some difficulty installing the car seat in my car. It took going to AAA to get it installed correctly. AAA offers a FREE service to the public to ensure that car seats are installed correctly.

Once I got the help, the car seat is fairly easy to use. Also, to note, the strap on the front of the car seat makes adjustments of the seat straps simple and quick for your ever growing baby.

I have 7-yr-old twins and thought my family was complete, so I ditched all my baby stuff.

We picked this seat for our son because it is one of the two compatible with the Stokke Xplory stroller. Although it is a bit heavy, I am so glad we went with this model because it is so safe. Our baby came early, and was only 5lbs when he was first riding in it, and he passed the hospital oxygen test with flying colors, so it is good for tiny babies. It also handy because it has an option to strap it into your car with and without the base, which is useful when traveling.
