Most Helpful FAVOURABLE Review

I searched for months before buying this seat for my daughter. I read lots of reviews on the internet and had a hard time deciding if I should spend $219 on this seat of just buy a cheaper one. I am so happy that I went ahead a spent the extra money. This seat is SO worth it. The print is great and the fabric is very easy to clean. My daughter loves to snack in the car and can make quite a mess. I just vacuum the crumbs occassionally and wipe down any other messes with a damp cloth. The restraint design is great and very easy to access and use.
The straps have never gotten twisted or tangled like some other cheaper seats do. I used this seat in the rear-facing position for about 3 months until my daughter was big enough to turn forwards. It was very easy to use in this position as well. I love the button you push to loosen the straps and it was still easy to use even in the rear facing position (this is a problem in some other convertible seats). I have a Nissan Maxima and the seat fit very well both front and rear-facing in this relatively small car. I highly recommend this product!!!

Decent seat, but I should have bought the Marathon! My kid is tall, so I had to turn him forward at 18 mos because his head was over the shell. (AAP guidelines say keep your kid rear-facing till 2 years – do some research and you will be saddened at what the “authorities” suggest by turning your kid at 1yr/20lbs) Now, he’s almost 2 and the shoulder straps are at the highest setting. I anticipate he will outgrow the seat in the next 6 months or less. Had I spent the extra $50 on the Marathon it would have lasted him two more years. The straps are not padded and get twisted quite easily. If your kid is a peanut, then this might work out for you, but if you have an average to large kid GET THE MARATHON!!!
