 Very Hard to Put Handle up and Down August 5, 2008
Being the dad, I was the only one strong enough to put the handle up and down. My wife, grandparents, friends, and babysitter couldn't do it. We returned it for a second and had the same problem. It was so bad we ended up eating the cost and buying a Graco Snug ride which worked just fine. Also this seat does not come with head insert for infants and the strap is very short and as a result is hard to use. Buyer beware.
 Good seat but it has some real annoyances July 4, 2008
We have overall really liked many things about this seat. The latch system is very easy to install and the release button for taking the seat off the base is easy to get do as well. The material is easy to wipe off and the cover is not to difficult to remove to wash. The triangle handle is easier to carry. I love that you can adjust it without rethreading the straps, great feature!!!
Cons:
-I wish there was a safe level indicator on both sides of the seat instead of just one.
-Sometime the straps get twisted and it is really annoying to get the buckle back into position.
-The strap adjustment pull between the legs isn't as easy to pull as I'd like.
-I HATE that the carrying handle is so hard to release to fold down. The buttons require a large amount of force to push both buttons at the same time while crocked in the backseat (this doesn't bother my husband). For this reason I wouldn't buy again but will use for the next kid.
 handle is hard to release, not well padded June 4, 2008
CONS:
handle is hard to release even for husband
not as well padded as others
PROS:
is lighter than some others
got it because i needed a double stroller
easy to install in car with latch system
 Love this carseat! May 19, 2008
I actually hate carseats because they are usually pretty heavy and bulky. This one is pretty nice. Not as heavy as the carseat we originally purchased for our 3.5 month old. I love the triangle handle.
I know that the little buttons on the side are a little hard to press in when you want to move the handle, but I don't think its all that bad.
This carseat has very high safety ratings. The adjustable head cushion is a major plus, super easy to adjust and super easy to loosen and tighten 5-point harness.
I love the handle that unlocks the carseat from the base, very easy and smooth, no more struggling like a mad woman to release the carseat from the car or the stroller.
Great car seat except for ONE THING.... May 17, 2008
We bought this carseat based on CR's ratings for safety and the price. It is very "chic" and I get compliments on it all the time. Some reviews I'd read said they were concerned about the material being too scratchy on their baby's head/body, but I have not found that to be an issue in our 6 months of use.
I LOVE how easy it is to adjust the straps WHILE she's in it. Hooray---after fighting with previous car seats with my other 2 kids, this is a great thing, as we all know if you don't go anywhere for like 5 days, the baby WILL GROW! LOL!!
It is also fairly easy to take in & out of the car; the release mechanism is slightly close to the seat so if you have a large hand, you might struggle a bit to release it.
Now, for the CAVEAT....I can hardly release the handle to rotate backwards to get my daughter out of it. Really. If I get the R side, I cannot release the L side, or vice versa. I know, maybe I'm a wimp. But my LARGE, STRONG husband has trouble too (although not as much as I do). It is so bad that 95% of the time I grab her by her shoulder & thigh and kinda slip her out underneath the handle. She wants to sit up but then she'll bonk her head on the handle. It sucks and I honestly have thought more than once of returning it. Due to the design of the release, its not like you can grease it or something.
A friend of mine has an older one, purchased a few years back, and hers doesnt have that problem, so either its this model (grey with the lime green inserts) or just my carseat. Just wanted to share the information.
