Summary: 4 Stars
We have a very tight budget right now, like many of you do too. So it's good to keep in mind that all car seats have to pass the same safety inspections by the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin (google them for more car seat info). The reason all these car seats have different prices are due to comfort and style. We were not concerned about style so much, but we did want our baby to be comfy in case we take long road trips. We went to Walmart and felt the padding in all the seats. We stuck our daughter in some of the seats to make sure everything lined up right with the straps. I suggest you do the same, even if you end up buying it from Amazon because it might save a few bucks.
We chose this car seat because it's cushioning is equivalent to many of the high end models. It doesn't recline, but I didn't want to pay another $50 for the model that did. My daughter's head does slump when she falls asleep, but a kid-sized neck rest mostly fixed that.
Installation was easy enough, although I'm not strong enough to pull the straps down tight (small woman). I assume this will be a similar problem with all car seats.
The straps that buckle the child in are a little odd, but if you take a good look at them before you install the car seat it all makes sense. I got used to the side tightening buckle really quickly and it doesn't bother my daughter.
It fits well in our Honda Civic and VW Jetta, although we put it to one side and can't use one of the trays (snack or cup holder) because it blocks the car door. So we left one off (my daughter doesn't know the difference). We could do without the flimsy arm rests - in fact we left them off, too.
It's tempting to buy the car seats that you can use from 0-100 lbs, but it's silly if you're planning on having multiple children. As soon as our daughter is ready for a booster seat we'll probably have her younger sibling graduating to this car seat. With that in mind, why spend a lot of money on the super fancy all-in-one models?
