I bought one of these seats at my local Big Lots because we had given away the Graco SnugRide we used with our 3 older children, and I used it for a couple months with my third child before my fourth was born. My third was 19lbs at 17 months old when I put her in it, and I had no problems with her fitting in it, I loved the non-rethreading harness height adjuster and the front adjuster for harness tightness. This seat felt like nothing added to her weight when she was asleep in it and I carried her in the house in it, and she loved riding in the seat. She outgrew the seat by weight just a couple weeks before our fourth was born, and now my fourth, at 2 1/2 weeks old, rides in it and I'm loving all the features of this seat and how lightweight it is. My husband has horrible back problems, to where he's had surgery to correct them in the past but needs another similar surgery soon, and he has no problems carrying our 11lb 2 week old baby in this seat. He couldn't do that at all with our old infant seat and our third child. My only complaint about this seat is that it can not be used in the car without the base, like most other infant seats can be. You must use the base every time, which means you only go out in one vehicle or you buy a second base. But other than that one little quirk, its an awesome seat and I tell everyone I know is shopping for an infant seat to go check out this seat, I love it that much.

Not that light - weight

This seat does not fit in any snap and go stroller and is not exceptionally light. If I were to do this over, I would buy a different infant seat.

nicely padded for a change

Well built, actually has padding in the bottom cushion (unlike all the others we looked at). If you want a comfortable ride for your infant, as well as the feeling you got your money's worth, get this one. I am so impressed I purchased a second one from Amazon.
