Saved my kids’ lives5
I purchased two of these car seats a year ago, for my kids now ages 35 months and 6 years old. On August 30 this year I was stopped behind a school bus that was picking up high school kids. I was in a 40 mile an hour zone and was hit from behind by a flat bed semi going somewhere between 60 and 70 miles an hour, he never even tried to brake. My 2 year old had minor scratches and bruises while my son(6) had to be life flighted 200 miles away for a severly broken leg and concusion. The childrens hospital where he was sent told me that had he not been in a car seat with higher weight limits(80-100 lbs.)he would have been killed. I am so thankful that I bought this car seat and after this experience I highly recommend it.

Very nice seat!4
I purchased this seat for my 1 year old son because it is very roomy & seemed like it would actually live up to its weight & height capacity. The seat cover is a plush, high quality fabric with the exception of the outer edges which seem to be some sort of fleece type material. I have a feeling that this will show wear & tear much faster than the rest of the fabric covering. I especially liked that the fabric & straps were dark in color so that they won’t show dirt & stains. The straps were very easy to adjust & you don’t have to re-thread the entire harness to adjust. The seat was easy to install using the lap/shoulder belt (we do not have the LATCH system in our car) & fit extemely snug against the seat in our Toyota Sienna van with virtually no movement at all once it was installed. There are 2 discrepancies in the product description – 1)It says that it has the “puzzle” snap at the crotch & ours does not, and 2)Ours came with a detachable lumbar support cushion. Overall, a very high quality seat for the money! My 3 year old son is currently using an Eddie Bauer high back booster & we’re seriously considering replacing it with the Vantage because of the difference in quality & features.

Great Seat for my son4
We got this seat for our son after he started to outgrow our graco snugride infant seat. We’ve had it just shy of two years and I’m very satisified thus far. I felt it was a reasonable price (I think I got it for around $140 or just under), it had great reviews, and had the safety features I was looking for in a car seat.

Some facts: 5-35 lbs rear facing, 22-40 lbs forward facing, 40-80 lbs Belt Positioning Booster. Has ProTech foam in headrest, QuickFit harness system, Infant head support, Five-point harness, Two-piece front harness retainer, Three-position buckle strap locations, Three-position recline, Up-front harness adjustments, Deluxe removable seat pad, Adjustable/removable pillow, and Removable cup holder.

Pros: Easy to install (does have LATCH system). Well padded and still holding up strong. Cleans up like new! Easy to adjust straps- even if just due to wearing bulky clothing. Very study seat- even with my rowdy near 3 year old. Also the seat sits up high- not really much of a pro for everyone, but my son loves being able to see out the window and look around. Love the optional cup holder (when older) and removable seat pad (great for extra padding and catching potty, snack, and cup messes). Also a big fan of the foam headrest- it makes me feel he’s safer and he hasn’t complained once about being uncomfortable (and he would!).

Cons: I have an SUV, so the combination of my seats and the base make it difficult for this to be completely flat without a padded seat guard, however once I realized this it was an easy fix (I did read on other sites that some parents resolved similar issues by removing the base and/or reclining the seat to compensate, but I’d rather it be attached and not reclined). It has a larger base and is overall a good size seat and fits fine in our vehicles (Pathfinder and Sports Trac) but it would not be ideal for a 2-door car or smaller sedan in my opinion. And while the seat cleans up well (I wash it every couple of months on gentle cycle in cold and lay flat to dry) and so far has held up great, it is an absolute pain to reassemble- even after doing so numerous times I still end up forgetting a step and having to back track when I’m putting it together. And like others have mentioned the straps do tend to twist easily which is very frustrating when you’re trying to strap an unwilling toddler in their seat quickly!

That said, I feel the pros outweigh the cons. After reading lots of reviews on seats and constantly hearing of recalls or other major issues, I’m satified with our choice in this seat. And I can say I would recommend it to a friend or family member.

great seat4
great seat, however, when I had to return it I wound up paying an arm and a leg on shipping

A Great Convertible/Booster Seat5
We have only owned this for about a week, but so far it is a great seat. My 2 1/2 year old son seems very comfortable in it. He loves the orange color and the fact that it is a “big boy” seat. I love that it has the 5-point harness until he gets a little bigger and then it can be used as a regular booster seat. I feel safer to have him in the harness. The harness is very easy to adjust and the headrest adjusts as well. The seat goes up to 100 pounds so he should be able to use for a long time. It also has the energy absorbing foam. A great purchase that will hopefully last for many years to come!

These people are crazy – this is a great car seat.5
well, I almost didnt buy this car seat because of all the bad reviews everyone left. but I went to [...] and they had the same product (for $[...] more) on display, so I buckled my baby in there. And I thought it was great. SO I ordered it. the day it arrived my husband and I installed it and went for a drive.
So far….

1. we havent had any problem with the straps twisting
2. Our baby looks very comfortable, her head isnt pushed forward or flopping around.
3. the car seat cover IS removable

It is kinda big…for those of you with 3 in car seats it would be hard to fit them all in one car

We are very pleased with this car seat, and so is our little girl she looks so happy in it (before we got this car seat she would scream and cry the whole way!)

Dont listen to those peope who gave this car seat a bad review, because it is a great car seat, especially for the money!
