| After reading a couple of reviews we were leery of making this purchase, but we are very happy that we did. There was one reviewer who reported that this seat would not fit in their '02 Mitsubishi Galant. We have an '03 Galant and it fits in our backseat perfectly! The seat is lightweight and the best thing is that we will be able to use it for some time to come. Our son is 9months and we put him in it as soon as we got it and there was no squirming or fussing. This is a great seat at a great price! I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends! |

 "good light seat, doesn't fit a prius well in rear facing position" | 2008-09-07 |

| my son likes the seat and it is light and doesn't take up as much room as our britax, but I'm not sure how safe it is in my prius. We have tightened it down as much as we can with the straps, but when we push the top of the seat it falls backwards. Right now we have the front seat backed all the way against it to prevent it from falling backwards. It was also difficult to follow the installation instructions. |

| Let me start off by saying I LOVE this car seat! I have always trusted safety 1st above other brands, but this is by far the best car seat I could think of having. The fact that it is convertible is very convenient. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that you have to put the seat belt under the padding. At least that's how we did it so it wouldn't be uncomfortable for my son. but it's wonderful! |

| I purchased this car seat to save on space for an upcoming additional baby seat we will be adding after the birth of our second child and for the multi use of car seat/booster option. My 3 year old fits in it nicely and it does save on space and seems comfortable and stay's cool in FL for her. The only draw back I find is that it keep her sitting too upright for comfy napping. She has napped in the seat but her head falls more forward than to the side and back becuase of the seat position. If you used it rearfacing for an infant I dont think you would have an issue. Since this is an alternate seat for us we have not used it for long travel. If you did I would recommend putting something like a towel to lift the front slightly and give more of a recline position. overall we do really like this seat and the removable cup holder is great. |

| I purchased this product based on alot of research into recalls and the like, this brand seemed to have few and far between and the price i got it for could not be beat. It is by no means horrible, but it is not the easiest to use. It fits poorly in our car, I had to use it front facing becasue rear facing it would not level, even with one of those foam carseat levelers and basically you could tip it over without even trying. The QUICK PULL stap is about useless. I use all my bodyweight when pulling this and sometime it still won't work right, it takes along time to get the straps the way you want them. It is narrower then most seats we looked at which gives us extra room in our car, and it is a safe seat when you can get it installed correctly. I would not really recommend this for ease of use thats for sure, but for the safety of it and price it can't be beat. I guess you need to choose which is more important. I choose saftey. |

| after weeks of research, i decided not to spend a fortune on a carseat and ordered this one. the order came within 2-3 days. this has more padding than the more expensive ones (the cheap ones hardly even have any padding!). only has 2 positions but oh well... my granddaughter's head does droop down somewhat when she falls asleep but most rear-facing carseats do that. it's a little difficult to get the seat belt thru or adjust the harness while in the rear-facing position but i think it'll get easier once the baby's facing forward. it really is narrower than most carseats leaving more room in the back. and it's also lighter than most standard carseats. |

| Our infant is in the 97% size range so we were forced to buy a convertable to accomodate her. After reading reviews we opted for the Safety First, believing it would fit our '02 Mitsubishi Gallant. No, It doesn't. In rear-facing mode, the only way that it fits is directly behind the passenger seat, move the seat all the way forward and tilted staight up. Same in our '98 Corolla. This made travelling as a family impossible. Problem was we had the same issue with two other convertibles that we tested in the Mits so we kept the car seat and sold the car. Our daughter loves the seat. We ditched the infant head rest immediately and stowed the cupholder. Be careful of chubby thighs! I have pinched her once clipping into the between leg buckle in the winter. My only issue with this is that there is no doing it quickly. If it's raining, I get wet, windy, we get new hairdos. All-in-all, though, my daughter has enjoyed the seat for the last 1.5 months. |

| I bought this as a second car seat. The first one I bought is a Brittax , and over $200. This one works just as well. It doesn't have the soft fuzzy material on parts of it, but my baby doesn't know the difference. I love that it's convertible. The head rest doesn't stay put, but maybe my 9mo is just too tall for it. This is really great for the price. It's not worth spending the extra cash as long as the seat passes the crash tests and is easy to use, which this is. I'm not sure why we spent so much on the first car seat; it doesn't convert to a booster like this one. |
