An awesome buy! Looks great, feels great, and has great features!

I'll mention right off that this is a great car seat and one worth looking into.  I have found it to be exactly what we were looking for and needing.  I figure the best way to break this down will be in two catagories.  The good & The bad.

The GOOD:
The cushions on either side of the head are soft and keep the head from flopping.  The padding along the back and in the seat is wonderfully thick compared to the others we looked at.  The cup/snack pullouts are on both sides of the carseat and sit pretty level so no worries there.  The lights feature is going to appear in both catagories.  They are bright and I really only see a reason for one but there's two- one on each side.  The big red button to turn it on and off is extremely easy to use.  So easy in fact, that it can be turned on blindly while reaching in the dark.  Even for my three year old turning four.  The back reclines well and the colors are really pretty contrasting/complimenting colors.  As typical with Evenflo products, the back adjusts with a pull of a handle.  Tearing the carseat apart to clean it isn't too bad either.

The BAD:
There's not much, trust me.  But I have to say, that as a mom and a front seat driver/passenger, it sure would be great to have those lights adjustable on a bendy type coil so they don't have to shoot straight in front and blind everyone else.  These lights are BRIGHT!  Especially when they're turned on after being in the dark for a while.  And that's it.  That's my only complaint. 

*After thinking on this, I've decided that this carseat probably couldn't be better because in all honesty, if the lights were duller, we'd probably complain about that too.  And if the lights were on bendy coils, that would make them more vulnerable for damage.

So, there you have it.  There's always a price to pay.  In this case, it's a very small price that, in my book, is well worth it.
