 Love, Love, Love this seat July 23, 2008

I am so glad that I decided to buy this seat for my son. The material is so nice, very comfortable, durable, and very little or almost to none to assemble. Unlike the Radian 80 convertible car seat I bought for my son earlier it was a waste of money. It is not comfortable and when you put the seat in forward facing there is no 45 degree angle to support his back. Very bad posture. It cost me $250 although I didn't buy it from Amazon at the time. I saw other reviewers raving about how good the Radian 80 convertible seat made by sunshine but it is horrible. The only one good thing about it, that is it could fold when you travel. Poor instructions and assembly. It is confusing to follow and manual. Don't waste your money on the Radian 80 by sunshine convertible seat. THIS IS THE SEAT THAT YOU SHOULD BUY FOR YOUR KIDS. TRUST ME YOU WON'T REGRET IT. I chose the blue/black color. I love it...What makes me more happier than seeing my son enjoys this seat...
Love it!! Great choice for luxury and comfort!!! July 17, 2008

I looked around for weeks and narrowed it down to this and one other seat. I was able to go see the other seat in a store, but this one was only available online. I didn't really like the one at the store so I took a chance and ordered this one. I'm SOOO glad I did!!! I absolutely love it!! It's so soft and comfy, my 10 month old looks so happy in it. She sleeps in it very comfortably and she has plenty of room. I have it rear facing with the headrest and it fits fine in my suv, if I had a compact car it might not fit that great with the headrest. I have no complaints, except it was a little difficult to install, but not horrible, and I have to be very careful buckling it not to pinch her chubby legs. I highly recommend this seat!!!!
 great seat July 8, 2008
As a mom of 3 young children, I've installed my fair share of carseats and booster seats over the years. This one is by far one of the easiest to install. It was quick and painless to get a very tight fit rearfacing in 2nd/middle row of our SUV.
The whole 'removable headrest' thing is very deceiving, though. Once a child hits 22lbs or a certain height, the headrest is needed for rear facing. My 10 month old already needs it installed so it doesn't fit any better than other rear facing carseats we have. In fact, it fits worse. But we're keeping it because our old carseat we were using rear-facing is 5 years old (only 6 months left until the expiration date) and only goes rearfacing to 22lbs.
The other issue I have is that there's no way a child can sit in this seat until they hit 65lbs. My 6 year old is 49 lbs and he tried to sit in it (just playing around - he's in his booster seat in the car) while it was in the family room when we took it out of the box. He could barely squeeze in and he's fairly average, if not small, for his age. Heck, even my almost-3-year-old was squished in it and she's only 37 lbs! Oh well... it'll get my youngest to be rear-facing until 18-24 months like we want and by then the Graco Nautilus will be freed up because the other daughter will be moving to a booster seat.
Other than those 2 things, we love this seat. Easy to install, good price, comfortable for the baby, etc.
beautiful booster July 6, 2008
I love this car seat. It seems so comfortable. My almost 5 month old fits really well, and I know she has lots of room to grow. I really like that the top comes off, so you can still have that extra room when the seat is rear facing to push your seat back.
However, my one drawback is that the seat is a lot wider than I had thought it would be. Since I have this seat and my 4-1/2 year old's booster seat in my car, I cannot put them side by side. The seat is too wide in my car (Subaru Forester) to put in the middle of the back seat and still fit in the booster next to it. So instead I have one seat on each side of the car.
All that aside, I would not trade this car seat for another. I'm very pleased with it.
The best by far June 20, 2008
