I really like this seat. I went to the Target store and pushed down on every seat- this was the cushiest. However, it is really hard to unbuckle it- I need to use both thumbs and my mom can't do it at all. It's also not the easiest to install when you want it reclined. We had to stick a big sweatshirt under the front part of the seat for it to stay in the proper position. I understand this is a common issue with car seats.

I bought one of these car seats because quite honestly it looked and measured to be the most compact, hence the "best" seeming fit for my rear-facing car seat needs. I've bought a bunch of other Eddie Bauer accessories and found the quality to be pretty good, so I went with my instinct and made the purchase for $119 at Target. After installing this in the back of my Mazda CX9 (by no means a small vehicle) the car seat would not stay in position and jostled out of alignment time and time again. No matter how hard I tried or how diligent I was with the latch system, the seat would not stay in position...very very dangerous for your baby. Also notable is that the seat is 100% plastic and very cheap feeling. There's an "adjustable" stand that makes it convert from rear to forward facing, but it does a horrible job at keeping this unit in place. Lastly I should note that the child has zero protection in this seat...my little girl is only 9 months and 18 lbs, yet she seemed like a giant in the seat and you could see she was fully exposed. We decided to go with a different unit...evenflow has an awesome new one that rivals a britmax safety wise. Take a look at that one...or any other one, but do yourself a favor and don't buy this...you'll just end up returning it.

This is the worst seat to get. The pillow in the back pushes baby's head foward. My daughter looks so uncomfortable in it especailly when she is sleeping. I will be taking it back and getting a Graco!
