 Prettier than the picture. April 26, 2008

I now own two Graco ComfortSport car seats- a metropolitan that stays in my car and this one, which I am constantly installing in other people's cars. I made my purchases after reading gobs of reviews. I had a few concerns: I thought the length of the straps would be difficult to adjust. Living in Alaska, I knew the bulk of my little boys clothes would change regularly and I was afraid adjusting the straps would be a pain- like on the infant carrier. To my surprise I have found that the comfortsport strap system is a breeze to adjust! Pull the plastic tab and the straps come out as far as you like- pull the strap without the tab to tighten- tada! Some people complain that their straps are always uneven because both straps go on one clip in the back. To remedy this, loosen BOTH the straps all the way, then tighten again and they will be the same length.
Another issue: I wanted a cushy car seat for my son because we garage sale for HOURS every Saturday from May-September. With this in mind I purchased the metropolitan for our car. Unfortunately, he is going to grow out of the metropolitan several inches before he grows out of this one- it has a LOT of padding. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered this one- it seems to have the perfect amount of plush. He really looks more comfy in it than the other.
I needed a smaller car seat because I have a 2003 Ford Focus Hatchback (2 door). If you have this disadvantage also, this car seat fits great in the middle of the backseat- with room to sit beside it and install your child! In fact, you can still have two other people in the back seat more comfortably than with a snugride infant carrier. If you are pretty short- or maybe your husband doesn't drive the car you could install it rear-facing on either side with the seat pulled forward a bit. - and really, just a bit- you wouldn't have to have your knees in the dash or anything.
You really do need a rolled towel, blanket, piece of swimming noodle or whatever you prefer to make the seat level in most cars. This doesn't bother me, but some parents worry that it compromises safety.
Finally, This car seat looks really ugly to me in the pictures on the internet and the packaging, but the actual seat looks great. It's just a nice navy and medium gray- not light gray like it looks like it is. It looks like the kind of color scheme a guys shoes would have- so don't let the scary pictures turn you off.
Happy Car Seat Shopping!

We have this carseat but in a different print. We have used this carseat since our baby was born. We decided to skip the carseats you can carry, and just go with this... and we're glad we did. Very easy to install, and very easy to adjust the straps as well. Getting baby in and out is easy as well. Very high quality.
A great car seat! February 12, 2008

I have had this car seat for about 2 years now and it has been fabulous! I have had no problems with anything breaking whatsoever. I really enjoy how easy it is to adjust the straps and I especially like that the cover is removable and machine washable. The cover stays pretty clean on its own, though, since it is the type of fabric that you can just wipe down to make it clean. I love this carseat and would recommend it to anyone!

I bought two of these seats for my twins. Everyone was talking about how great the Britax seats were- however at that price, they better be made of gold. I did some research and found that two of the Britax seats had been recalled and while one of the Graco ComfortSport seats was also recalled, this one was not. It is so simple to install. It is sturdy and when it's installed correctly, it isn't going anywhere. The harness is easy to adjust, the shoudler pads are great for when the girls fall asleep in the car. The LATCH hooks are a little annoying to remove- the anchor latches on the Britax were the winner in this comparison. But, for the price, the saftey and the adorable easy to clean factors, this is the best car seat. Buy one for each vehicle!

This car seat works perfectly for my 9 month old baby girl. She is 20 lbs already so I needed to get her out of the infant carrier. I had a policeman install it so that it was in properly. He said it was a great and safe seat. It looks good too-which is what I cared about also; well besides safety of course!
