   We bought this in preparation of our baby... no baby yet, but the car seat is perfect. Easy to attach to latch system, nice thick fabric with head support for infants. Easy to adjust straps, nice carrying bar and I like the colors. It fits very snug in our Joovy lightweight sit and stand stroller... can't wait for baby!

   I am so disappointed with this car seat; yes, I consider myself a well informed consumer. I was choosing between this and the Peg Perego infant seat; perhaps would not have been happy with either one. As you often hear, my son is "big"; he quickly outgrew the pads...and to be honest, I do not feel like he is as safe without them. The lower (hip/leg) pad came out first; his fat little thighs were being pinched by the buckle and he could not get comfy. The head pad came out next when we had to move the shoulder strap up to the highest point at 2 months of age. Unfortunately when the head pad is removed, there is a decorative ribbing material that is bulky for their heads to rest on. On top of everything else, it is hard to get into and out of (straps get in the way), and he sweats like a beast in it! Now at 13 weeks we are moving to the Britax Marathon.

   When my son was born last December this car seat was hard to find then so we borrowed one from my sister-in-law. She had a Graco car seat that was one year old, plus I have used other infant car seats for my two older children, a Graco and an Evenflo. When I got the Chicco I immediately noticed a difference in quality. The seat sets in the base easier, the handle to release the seat from the base uses less force, the straps have not once gotten folded over or creased, this is a big plus for me, I hate it when the straps get mangled, which happened with my other seats. One plus for me, though it is a small feature is the little storage compartment in the base, I throw a few diapers in there, just in case! I wish I had had this car seat 12 years ago for my oldest son! I highly recommend this seat, it can be used for longer than the conventional car seat, which is safer for baby.
