Baby Trend Flex Lock Car Seat Review Summary

Being “one of the two car seats that passed the original crash tests at 70 mph,” safety conscience parents consider the Baby Trend Flex Lock Car Seat as one of the safest infant car seats available. Made in trendy, sporty designs, the Flex Lock car seat is especially loved by those with compact cars as the “narrow base is great for fitting a couple car seats into smaller cars.” A preferred feature of the Baby Trend infant seat is the unique design of the carrying handle since “the top is a triangle shape that makes it easier to carry at your side,” although some found it difficult to operate the buttons to move the handle up and down. Designed for infants up to 22 pounds, the five point harness is “easy to tighten,” as well as change its position without rethreading. With a quick snap in or out, the Flex Lock infant car seat is also a great companion to Baby Trend Strollers.

I am a new grandparent and my daughter bought one of these carseats for her new son. Before buying it, she researched many different brands. After using hers, I went and got one for my car . My grandson loves it, fits well in it, and best of all, I feel he is in a seat that has a great safety… read full review »

Critical Review

Some nice features, but impossible to install correctly

I was very excited to get this car seat because it had recieved excellent reviews from Consumer Reports in their crash test ratings. However, the car seat was extremely difficult to install using LATCH. Neither my husband or I get the base to fit tightly in the seat. The LATCH components on… read full review »

Baby trend Flex Lock Is a great chair. It is easy to carry and has a lot of cool features. — It is the number one for safety, in safe car seats. I love the part that go's over the baby head.It is large enough that if I pull it up and put cover on it, no air will get in the back.The handle is very strong.It is very easy to install once you install it the first time.I am confident that we made the right choice with this seat. — I thought that this car seat was a great buy for the price. It is priced under $100, and is one of the 2 car seats that passed the original crash… read full review »

After doing months of research on the safest carseat available, I chose this and was glad I did. It was a little more expensive than other newborn carseats but it had the safest ratings and it had the Flex-Loc base feature. I bought 3 bases and installed them in my car, my parents' car, and my babysitter's car. This was very convenient because the seat snapped in and out of the bases with zero installation time and stayed locked in place very securely. Switching a base to a different car was quite a hassle though, especially if it was an older car without the anchors. Also I found the straps… read full review »

Bought this for my third child. Had used a Graco one for the other two. This is much easier to use. Have adjusted the straps several times to allow for winter clothes. Sooooo easy. With a turn of a button on the back, voila. — Narrow base is great for fitting a couple car seats into smaller cars. (Pontiac Sunfire with three in the backseat, until we get our van.) — Only negative is the handle buttons are little tricky to push to get it to turn. Not bad though, once I figured it out the handle turns easily. —… read full review »

I received this car seat as a baby shower gift and it looked really cool. After reading all of the reviews and seeing my hospitals response on this, I am confident that we made the right choice with this seat. — I thought that this car seat was a great buy for the price. It is priced under $100, and is one of the 2 car seats that passed the origninal crash tests at 70 mph. My 3 month old seems very comfortable in this seat. I am very happy with my purchase. —… read full review »

We recieved this as a gift on our registry and actually haven't used it yet with the baby as he is not born yet. However, it was cooler looking than we expected it to be, very easy to use, and hooks into the car perfectly. The carseat alone may be a little pricey but if purchased with the stroller (travel system) it's a great deal!… read full review »
