Describe Yourself: First Time Parent
I drive a GMC Yukon SUV, and have the carseat in the middle, rear facing. And the carseat doesn't obstruct my view in the rear view mirror at all. I'm 5'7" and can strap in my 10 mo. old DD without having to crawl in.
She admittedly had some issues at first with getting in the seat first thing in the mornings on the way to daycare, as she's used to getting strapped in her infant carrier inside the house, then carried out to the car and set into the base. But, as long as I show her the car seat first, she knows where I'm getting ready to put her, and has no problems sinking into the plushness of this awesome seat! No cries, and actually for once, no squirming!
I installed it myself, and it doesn't move around at all- very, very sturdy! The latch belts that come with the seat are great! They are like not the hooks that came with my Graco infant carrier/seat that are so hard to take off. Instead, they have a button like a seat belt that releases the latch hook.
It has knobs you can turn to find the proper strap height for my DD's shoulders (no rethreading!), and a much easier way to tighten and loosen the straps. Just pull the strap tightener to tighten, and push the release to loosen.
I looked around for 3 months before making my purchase. It is on the upper end with respect to cost compared to other convertible car seats, however, I feel that the features, convenience, construction, safety, and life of the seat will make up for the additional $100 bucks I spent compared to maybe a Cosco seat. And I am definitely glad I didn't spend extra money to get a Britax.
Diapers.com had the best price on this out of Target and Amazon. And the fastest shipping (2 days - which was free!).
Overall, this seat is great! I love the pink too... my DD looks so cute in it!
