We just got in a Side Impact car accident going 70 mph on the freeway and my son who is 3 years old had little to no injury thanks to the head protection on this seat. I am buying this seat for both cars and grandparents cars when they transport him.

My husband and I love it, so does our son. He's now 3 years old. We purchased this car sear the week it was released. It was such a hot item at Baby's R Us that we needed to get tickets to put one on hold. It works great. It looks great. It fits great in all of my cars. I've put it in a Jeep Liberty, Chevy Colorado (although I don't recommend using any car seat with this truck because it's a small seat and only side seating, no middle seating) and a Chevrolet Malibu. It's easy to adjust and the fit is great. I'm very happy with the purchase and before this I purchased their baby seat version of the Air Protect which was awesome too. The reason we bought it was because of the head protection. It gives us more peace of mind, especially because we're putting him in the middle of the backseat.
