starsShoulder Straps TOO SHORT!
I really liked this carseat when I first started using it, last summer, when I had a 7 month old in lightweight clothing. Now that she's 15 months and has been wearing sweaters and winter coats, the main fault of this carseat is now VERY apparent: the shoulder harness straps are FAR TOO SHORT for kids living in cold climates! It's a struggle to get her little arms in and out from the straps with all the winter clothing in the way. It will only get tighter as I have to reposition the straps to the next higher "hole" as she grows. A super carseat in regards to safety, strap holders, recline, LATCH hookup, etc. Just be wary if you'll be using it in a cold climate... I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to friends here in Minneapolis.

I definitely prefer my Graco ComfortSport with the GracoPedic Foam over this one; the straps are extra long and my daughter seems to like it just as much as the Maxi-Cosi, and I bought it for $[...]instead of $[...].



starsLOVE it LOVE it LOVE it.....
We were excited to use the seat right away and even did an immediate test drive! Not only is it rated super safe, but our daughter is very compfy and can handle longer car rides. Yea!! We chose the penguin color so it would go with our black leather interior (vavavoom! looks great!). Although we had concerns about its size, it fits nicely in our PT Cruiser with room to spare. We love love love the easy recline, as it's a must have for when she conks out due to such a cozy seat. FYI..I did extensive research prior to making our decision and was quite surprised at the negative comments I had read on these seats. We haven't had any problems with the buckles, bulkiness, fabric etc....


starsExcellent styling, very safe, and overall, a good buy
I would really love to give to this seat a report 5-star but there are some negatives, which weigh enough in my understanding that I must estimate the seat 4. First I think that this seat is a good purchase for the money. For $200 you receive a 4-position support, provide the EPS foam rubber, are geauffuellt with sides to be cleaned in order to form the seat comfortably, are nice material and styling the simple than the material on the Britax seats and a cup holder. My son has pleased sleeping thing in the seat and in 5 minutes was to try thus deep sleeping thing, did not agitate themselves he not, even if we the car door slammed shut, in order it to wake up above. Forwards it had stopped a falling sleeping in its baby seat of a long time. I love euro styling. I kept the "night owl" real to color, but decided, to communicate here in order to combine the reports. The seat brings that together inside of our civil half-breed nearly to a T! While the seat does not go up to the monster 65lbs of some other Kabriolette, our son is rather bright during its age and we have a small car. We can improve 45 Pound later to an auxiliary seat and are an acceptable weight delimitation. If it continues, in the 3. Percentage share for weight to be, he reaches not 45 Pound, until he is 7 or 8. The few plastic hooks on the side being for holding the handles with difficulty accessible nicely, while receiving the child agreed into the seat. For the Cons the seat is to attach pain. The diagrams in instruction the manual are only half-free regarding, where you store the bolting device handle, if you must use lap/shoulder belts for installation. As soon as you receive this part past, received only taking carseat really brought approximately 5 minutes on. So possibly this is against more over instruction the manual, which is on English only, by the way. Nowadays many manuals of Spanish do not have also, this product. Overlook the instructions very carefully, how one the retainer, which uses etc.. When I really obeyed the instructions, to secure was simple. So, if you may expect it to the instructions for line interlacing and straight, in order to attach like a Brise, could not this seat not for you be. I commentated another report that the curvature did not seem larger than the curvatures, which I had seen on Britax of seats. I do not have a Britax or use, but I helped my friend to empty it kid much from times to and her have Britax of seats. I think that the curvatures are pain generally. I am not particularly vernarrt into the editions, which go around the handles, in order to protect the beginning. My son always looks, how he keeps a point crushed. I must say that my son is very safe, if he is inside gegurtet. It cannot do wiggle really around much at all. It was at the raising very well, up its Torso to look to in its baby seat around. There are small to struggle more padding/cover for the curvature, those, you with must with the buckling. If you do not hold the material with difficulty accessible, you are not to be curved in a the position. Sometimes it keeps inside folded, and it obstructs the buckling. Entirely, I think that my son is comfortable in the seat. I think, he am safe and I think that the seat is attractive. Like that are fulfilled to me enough. Also I know little practice the curvature easily annulieren now. I must not have dishonor over back-ups of my hands down forking of my baby straight, in order to reach around the curvature. I like the supporting characteristics, and I think that it was a property thought from product. Possibly could instruction the manual be better. The installation is so-so, so long, as you read the manual..., if you can.


starsGreat for the kid, hard for the parents
Our daughter seems quite enthusiastisch over the car seat. It is adjustable and supports, that is large for, if it falls sleeping in the car. However it is a minuzioese exercise 15 to 20 to attach to it. Bolting device the system settles a bad work of the protection of the seat; They must really be located in the seat, in order to receive a firm seat. Once in the car and you do not secure are problems or interests there over its security. We used the Maxi Cosi baby car seat and were with the Muehelosigkeit attach and functionality very lucky, therefore we expected more of-same.


starsMaterials seem nice, attractive design, good price, BUT . . .
This carseat seemed really nice. After quite a bit of research and agonizing we finally took the plunge. I found it hard to decide between the Britax and this, but in the end the fact that the Britax is somewhat less attractive, the two have similar safety ratings, and the difference in price ended up winning me over. Big mistake! It's a bit difficult to see in the pictures, but the buckle that goes between the baby's legs is about two times wider than any other carseat I have ever seen! My daughter looks comfortable and happy in this seat until we snap the second clip into the buckle, at which point she starts screaming because it's really uncomfortable! I've almost never ordered something so bulky over the internet and I'm now really regretful because I'm going to have to return it. One caveat, at least go to Target (which now carries this seat) and snap your child into it as a test before purchasing! To the contrary, we took her out to Babies r Us yesterday to try out some other seats, and she was smiley and playful in the Britax seats, which have a fairly standard (read: not super-wide) buckle.


starsThis seat has it all!
I bought this carseat for my 2-year-old daughter as a replacement for a seat we had been loaned. We bought it this afternoon and were able to adjust the harness straps and install it using the LATCH system in less than 1/2 hour. My daughter went right in and the first thing she said was, "It's soft!"

The one thing I was looking for in a new carseat that we did not have with the Britax Roundabout we had been loaned was substantial sides so that when my daughter falls asleep in the car (as she does often) that her head would be supported. The Priori has wide enough sides without being too big. The added bonus of this seat is that it has not only a bottom base but also a back base so it reclines on its own track and doesn't have to be removed from the LATCH or seatbelt.

Well, we got to test it out right away because sure enough my daughter fell asleep in the car for our 1/2 hour drive home from my parents' house. I reached behind me at a red light, reclined the seat with one hand, and her head stayed against the side and she was soooo comfortable the whole way home, she didn't move once! Usually as her head droops, she startles and wakes a few times. But there was no head drooping at all!

I really think we are going to enjoy this car seat for many reasons. It's a nice subtle pattern, soft and comfortable, safe, easy to install and use, and the recline is a great feature. We are very happy we bought this seat!
