GREAT for a compact car!

Our first car seat was great, but my daughter outgrew it at around 7 months.

We had trouble finding any seat that would fit my car (ford contour) This was basically the only one that would fit in between the seatbelts in the back seat.

That being said, it is a great little car seat. I love, love, love the Velcro feature that keeps the straps to the side when your baby isn't in the seat. Whenever I put her in the seat, they're secured to the side – it is so convenient! We didn’t want a super girly car seat, (just our preference) and the gray/black color scheme fits just fine in my car. The seat is also very easy to operate – this is our first child, and by the end of the first day, it was like this seat was the only one she ever had. It seems quite comfortable for her to sit in, as well. I would suggest putting a towel or blanket underneath, though, to angle it a little better.

My husband had a pretty easy time installing it too – the instructions were quite clear, and there is even a number you can call if you are stuck.

I would recommend this seat to anyone who has a compact car. Yeah, it costs more than most seats, but it feels great knowing that it has one of the highest safety ratings for car seats out there.
