 Flying young September 18, 2008
I live in Michigan and needed a car seat to bring back my infant grandson from California. This car seat is one of the few, in fact the only one I could find, that is the correct width to fit into the airline seat without having to raise the armrest. In fact the label states it is FAA certified.
The LATCH system works great. Once installed correctly, that seat is not going anywhere.
Only two drawbacks to a perfect car seat. One is that the sun shade is too short. Easy to fix with a receiving blanket laid on the sun shield and carrying handle. The second problem is the weight. This sucker is heavy, and when you add 8 pounds of baby, expects longer arms. Long hike at Detroit Metro made this very obvious.
For the welfare of the baby, longer arms are not a problem.
 Not my favorite July 26, 2008
I was very excited to get this car seat since I have the Quinny Buzz stroller. When we put our new baby in the seat we had a lot of trouble getting it buckled. The main problem is that the strap that comes up between the child legs is very short, making it hard to manipulate. I know newborns can be difficult to get strapped in, but this is my 3rd child, so I have some experience. We ended up cutting the padding off the seatbelts because it was getting in the way. I used the seat 3 times and then pulled the good ol' Britax out of the garage and installed it in my car instead.
Great car seat July 11, 2008

We've been using this car seat for almost 9 months now, and I totally love it. The seat is easy to install both with and without the base. We keep the base in our car - the seat just drops in and clicks - and we've installed it with just the seat belt in the grandparents cars and it is firmly secure with just a lap belt. (It fits in our Toyota Prius just fine with the base - we've had it in a Honda CR-V and a Dodge minivan using seat belts.). The seat is well padded, and my daughter rides comfortably and will sleep for hours in it. Safety wise - well, it meets European standards as well as U.S., and is side-impact rated, so I feel confident that Allie is safe. We routinely carried the car seat to/from the car until our daughter was about 5 or 6 months old. It then got really heavy. (But I guess any car seat would...) The car seat now usually resides in the car, but getting our daughter in and out has been pretty easy, despite the seat being rear-facing. Others have complained that the shoulder straps don't adjust high enough for their baby, but we haven't yet had that problem. At 9 mos, she's at the top-most slots, but she still has a little room to grow.
We also purchased the Quinny Buzz as a travel system. My only complaint with this is that the stroller requires adaptors to take the car seat, and its an either/or situation - either you snap in the car seat OR you have the stroller seat, you can't have both which is a pain for us b/c we live in a tall apartment building and the garage is far away so we end up carrying the stroller seat with us if we want to use both. Otherwise the system works well.
Overall, we're very happy with the decision, and I'll probably be going with the Maxi-Cosi priori when its time to change up to a convertible seat.
 Not enough shoulder strap slots! July 3, 2008

This seat was the only one other than a Graco infant seat that would snap into our stroller frame (Mutsy stroller). We loved the vivid orange and red/pink colors too. But, we have some major complaints. Our daughter is 5 months old, 15 1/2 lbs. and 26 inches. She is ready for another car seat already because this one doesn't fit her! Basically, the length is SUPPOSED to be good until 29" and it would if there were one more rung on the shoulder harness slots. But, when we brought her home at 21 1/2 inches long, we already had to adjust the harness to the second to last slot. I suppose we'll get another month out of this seat if all her height grows in her legs and not her torso. Otherwise, we'll need a convertible car seat very shortly. I DO NOT recommend this seat for people with long babies. Even the cheap graco seats have higher shoulder slots. (Each slot has about a quarter of an inch in between them so it doesn't take long to move up the rungs when the average baby grows two inches a month for the first six months!)
Also, the sunshade is too short. I'm forever riding in the back of the car holding my hands up to keep the sun out of my daughter's eyes, or putting a blanket hanging down over the edge for added shade.
Pros are that this seat is super cushioned unlike the graco seats and yet is still on par with those seats for price. Oh, and did I mention how stylish these seats are? I keep getting stopped in stores and asked where we got it. I would give it 5 stars if they could address the shoulder harness issues or if I had had a smaller baby!
