Summary: Pleased with Purchase
Comment: So far we have been quite pleased with this purchase. It was relatively easy to install. Loosening and tightening of the straps is simple. The cup holder is a nice touch. We look forward to the flexibility that this seat provides as our child continues to grow.

Summary: Perfect for Grandmas!
Comment: I bought this car seat so that I wouldn't have to bring my own car seat when flying to my parents. It suited my 18 month old well (and he is on the small side). It could use a little more cushion but it's a good price for an extra car seat at grandma's!

Summary: Great onine shopping experience
Comment: This is my first time to shop on amazon.com, I moved to Asia for years from CA, USA.
Not only the transaction very clear and fast, also the amazon.com products' indormation, spec., links and money save, all satisfied my tough engineer's requirement. I like this shopping experience, and next time, whatever my wife want to buy, I will suggest her to check amazon.com first. :))

Summary: Excellent Car Seat
Comment: I got this car seat as one to leave at my sisters house for our visits since we live in Hawaii and since the cost for extra baggage now is about the same as buying another one this will save us money and headaches. This is a good car seat for the right price. I highly recommend.

Summary: Suits its purpose
Comment: We've had this carseat for a few months now. We bought it to go in my husband's car so we wouldn't be doing the "change the carseat all the time" thing. Also, because her main carseat in our Odyssey is the Britax Boulevard, which is NOT a carseat to be lugging from one car the the other. Sometimes I ride with friends when we go out and I always use this seat, because it's easier to move and install. This seat does what it's supposed to do when it needs to be used (which is only a few times a month). My hubby's car is a Ford Escort wagon and it's perfect because the seat is not so big. The Britax would NEVER fit into the Escort! The Escort is a '98 so it doesn't have the LATCH system, but I didn't find it hard at all to get this carseat installed with the seat belt. I did it by myself and got a really tight fit (it barely moved). I was very pleased with that because when it comes to installing my daughter's carseat I'm fanatical about it being done correctly. I only gave it four stars because of a few things: 1) the straps do get twisted, 2) the plastic strap slots on the bottom sides seem to "pop" off and I have to push them back in until they snap back into place, and 3) I did use this carseat using the LATCH belt in the Odyssey for my friend's daughter and it didn't have as tight of a fit as the seatbelt in the Escort. The seat didn't slide more than an inch at the belt, but I noticed the top of the seat back slid around a lot and pulled easily away from the Odyssey's seat back. To fix this problem, I simply secured the seat with the seatbelt as well and that helped tremendously! Baby Number 2 is on the way and once he or she outgrows the infant seat, they will be moved to the Britax and my oldest will use this seat as a belt-positioning booster. Anyway, this is a great seat for the money.

Update - November 11, 2008
Since I wrote the original review, I realized that the reason the top of the seat was unstable in the Odyssey's captain's chair, was because I did not use the tether on the back of the seat (DUH!). When I used the seat again in the Odyssey (had to clean the Britax), I used the LATCH system and the tether anchor that goes behind the car's seat, and the thing was rock solid! I also figured out a better way to tighten the LATCH belt too. The seat is still working out great too, although my daughter has just about outgrown the top slot. I really want to keep her in a harness, so I've been checking out the new Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 seat. If you're looking at this one, then go for that one! Just my observation. If Graco had that one out when I needed this one, I would have bought that one! But, alas, there will always be something new and better around the bend! Hope this update is helpful to all you lookers!
