Car seats

Comment:

We bought the pink mist car seat for our daughter, we love the look, it was easy to adjust, easy to install into our small mazda 3, sturdy, has high marks for side impact head protection. The Suede makes it very comfortable. The boot cover gives it extra warmth, something our first child didn't have with her car seat. So it's funny how other reviews are so harsh on this car seat. It's almost as if they are talking about a different car seat all together. ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL FIRST! The only con is if the suede isn't micro fiber then cleaning might be an issue, but apart from that this is a pretty good infant seat.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I am the mother of twins so each baby item I purchase gets extensive research. I chose these seats for their quality, safety and their 30inch-30lb rating. Most seats aren't rated nearly as high requiring parents to purchase new seats less than 1 year later. I will admit that these seats are heavy and don't fit into booths at restuarants but I am more than happy to accept that.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Ok, I purchased this for my son after reading many reviews on the safest carseat. I didn't really think anything else mattered because carseats are for just that, SAFETY. I was willing to work with the reviews that stated it was difficult to install, hard to clean, very heavy, ect. However, oh my goodness is this thing a pain to install if you don't have the latch system. It took about an hour at least for me to get the carseat base in good and tight (I am extremely picky about it not moving AT ALL after installation because that is one of the biggest reasons a child is injured in a crash, and he is my 4th child so I am very familiar with installing child safety seat bases). And boy is this thing heavy! It isn't so bad when you first put a newborn in it because they are so tiny (and I have to add that it fit my barely 5 lbs son extremely well and made me feel he was very safe) however, once your kiddo gets over 15 lbs, get ready to start pumping iron! I purchased the stroller that the carseat snaps into because I don't like the big bulky strollers and after short while I was done getting him in and out of the car with carseat in tow. Also the handle is a pain to move and you have to unlock the carseat from the front, unlike almost every other carseat on the market. This really worried me because I wondered if we were ever in a crash, and someone was trying to help get him out, if they would be able to figure out how to release it from the base. So I guess my opinion is that YES this is an AWESOME safe carseat, however, I would only buy this again, if I was only planning on leaving it in the car and never trying to carry him around in it or move it to another vehicle and in that case you are probably better off getting a convertible carseat that lasts longer. This one is cheaper than most too, so extra bonus there, but still didn't like this carseat as much as I thought I would or as much as the Graco infant seats.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
