Thanks for your feedback
I was looking to find a 5 point harness seat that went above and beyond to hold my 3 and 5 year old daughters forward facing. This seat was highly recommended to me.
br /After searching and comparing this seat with the Britax Regent (needed tether and too wide, not FAA approved), the Costco Apex (too bulky), the Safeguard Child seat (too pricey), I found this one to have all the things I required:
br /1. Slim design so I could fit 3 child seats across one row in my SUV.
br /2. Something that offered great cushion and padding.
br /3. Something FAA approved.
br /4. Something that could fit outboard or center seat location.

br /After receiving the boxes (ordered from other internet vendor) I could not wait to rip them open. The seat is totally together for you and the directions are so simple to read. (if you use it rear facing you do need to attach the base)though. It is a heavy seat so I could not imagine lugging it around through the airport comfortably but I guess if you need to travel you will have to do so. I wanted FAA approved just in case we needed it but I basically wanted it for the thin seat design and extended 5 point harness feature.
br /It was easy to install. What a nice snug fit in both the middle row seat center and outboard positions. The seat is lower so my girls can climb in themselves which they love. One thing I wish it had was attached cupholders but that is really the only complaint I have. I opted to get the ones that attach onto the window next to my older daughter and that works fine.
br /The champagne color is very lovely and looks great with my camel seats.
br /The blue is also nice but I could not locate that in my online search.
br /If you are thinking of getting this seat, definitely jump on it. You will not be disappointed!
