Okay, so I have to agree with the other 2 reviews. This price is a rip off & I also got my car seat at Babies R Us. I also got to use a 15% off coupon with it- Score! Anyway, this is a fabulous car seat. After hating the lack of head support & the lack of recline for my newborn in her Baby Trend car seat, I purchased this one! It is great for a newborn... It has great head support & it seems really comfortable, safe, & well made. My biggest gripe is how hard it is to move the handle from different positions because the sun shade constantly gets stuck or basically in the way. So you kinda gotta battle that. My only other minor complaint is that when you place the car seat on a shopping cart the baby pretty much ends up laying down, which isn't awful, but if baby wants to look around to keep entertained forget about it. I'd recommend this car seat anyway, despite the flaws. They are minor & it seems all the car seats have one annoying flaw or two!

My just about 6 month old daughter looks entirely uncomfortable in this seat- shes 18 lbs, 28 in, so we should still have some grow room! we have the straps on the highest adjustment and pulled to the max, it's getting impossible to clip her in! To note, it not from bulky clothing, she has eczema so even in the winter months, she's in light, loose cotton clothing.
More importantly,we cannot get this seat to stay strapped in tight. Even with an extra belt clip to keep it tight the seat moves from side to side on the gentlest of turns! The balance indicator is spot on and it has been installed correctly, just can't see how this can be safe! And once balanced the seat is angled up so high even a baby with strengthened head control is completely lopsided,I worried constantly over my daughters head and neck when she was first born, and had to stop frequently to adjust her position even with the head support! Speaking of which, once baby outgrows it you're left with a plain black &... Read more

I agree that this price is ridiculous. I got it at Babies R Us, was much cheaper. It is very attractive car seat, but my daughter screams her head off 3 out of 4 car trips. I tried out a friends car seat to make sure it wasn't my car seat and it wasn't, she just hates the car. It's a bit on the heavy side, but I haven't really found a bucket seat that wasn't. The base is a bit hard to install. I picked up another base that originally went to a Snugride 32 and it is much easier to install (I don't have latch in my car).
