I never write reviews for products, but I HATE this seat with such a passion, I have to do it.

There are two things I like about this seat. One: it's cute. Two: it snaps in and out of the base very easily.
That's it. Two things that I'm sure I can find on another car seat.

It is so DIFFICULT to get my daughter in and out of this seat. I bought it because it says it goes up to 30 lbs. What a laugh! My daughter will turn three months in two days (granted she's big for her age) and she has already outgrown this seat. She can barely move when she's in there and every time I pull her out she is just drenched in sweat. I have the straps as loose as they will go and they still pinch her legs. The snaps are also really difficult to do. I feel like I'm hurting her when I put her in this seat! I have purposely not left the house until my husband is home to watch her simply because I did not want to deal with the chore of strapping her into this seat... Read more

We have a tiny car and I was afraid we would have to upgrade our vehicle before the birth of our third child.

I found a couple that did, and was very excited until I saw the prices on them. I did some more research, found carseat forums where moms discussed what carseats fit in the backseats of their narrow cars, and several were recommending the Chicco Keyfit, but again, I didn't like the price.

So I took my trusty tape measure to my local Target and found this Baby Trend seat right next to that Chicco Keyfit. I measured them and found that this one is actually narrower (only by half and inch, but that matters in a tiny backseat)! I took the seat down from the shelf and measured the base, too, and it was also very narrow. I fiddled with the adjustable back and am VERY excited to not have to rethread the... Read more

I loved this seat. It was nice just buying extra bases and having this seat. I also loved that Baby Trend makes a jogger that works with an infant seat so that I could go over any terrain easily and still use my carrier. He did outgrow it by the time he was 6 months; but I still have the stroller and am planning to use Baby Trend again for my second child!
